It does... I stand corrected - Not sure who I was thinking of when I typed that, but it certainly was not the enigmatic Mr. Larkham... (he could kick (a) field-goal, though)!

and oddly enough - they all qualify as part of Queensland, under the NRL State Of Origin eligibility rules...

It would be interesting to see his stats - I think he was a sublime fb - arguably the best we have ever had - and a very reliable kicker, but I would not have thought his percentages were in the high eighties such as Carters and Johnnys often are...

quite rightly, too.

In the Carter / Mertens / Wilkinson class?

Keeping in mind, in modern day PC Oz, all you need to do to be charged with assault, is to WIN the fight - forget whether the other bloke started it, or whether you did all you can to avoid it - the feller on the floor is always THE VICTIM... I am interested to hear the details of the incident -...

You must note; His lawyer was unsuccessful in avoiding having the warrant issued - why?

Ever since Johnny Wilkinson - and that is getting to be a long time ago - Australia has demonstrated an obvious shortfall in the TRULY QUALITY Goal Kicking stakes... Wilkinson was later challenged by Mertens, then eclipsed by Dan Carter, and during that entire time, we have had a selection of...

personally, after Saturday, I think Mr. Barnes should hang up his boots and protect the remaining brain cells for his dotage... it was a truly lamentable display, and I see no sign of it getting better - his new club would not have watched the Test with much joy, I am sure.

Being "sarcastic" is not really the point - I never mentioned Deans... given the incidents that have marked the last 3 -4 years, and I cannot recall them all, one has to wonder how such a small group of young men, who are variously highly paid, highly motivated and largely, well-educated people...

I request we stop referring to this #$%$% numpty as "Sir"! - (unless of course you are English, and approve of that sort of crap). An Australian referring to another human being as 'Sir' is enough to turn my stomach...

It is true, and it must FINALLY lead one to ask... Given the Wallabies - and in this case The Reds - form such a major part of these players' lives, how far from the truth was Quade Cooper's comments regarding the culture being Toxic - were his comments simply mis-applied... That is how many...

stuart barnes thinks that JOC (James O'Connor) at number 10 is a mistake, and one that will lead to the Wallabies losing the first test. Based on that being His Opinion, I am going to jot it down as a Masterstroke. Now, all I need is for Clive Woodward to call for Folau to be selected on the Wing...

Be careful what you wish for - I have watched far too many Super Rugby managers scew-up perfectly functioning combinations this year out of some muddle headed belief that fresher is bettter - only to see what combination, and what slim chance of victory they had, disintegrate before our very...

i have just been reading an article, in which Shane Williams is rabbiting on about 2009, and how "we should have won", and "We worked hard and we believed we should have won that series. If we hadn't deserved that series it would be easier to take"... and on and on... Now this is not exactly a...

This sounds alot like my own attitude towards Sri Lanka in the Cricket - ever since that fat little shite Ranatunga was waddling about, years ago... I was really enjoying the japanese win - until someone here reminded me who is the Japan Coach... damn! now this result is stained forever....

It is deeply and outrageously wrong for someone to have organised an entire class of Japanese Schoolgirls to visit your class, and they did not organise for them to visit mine... (at the time).... p.s.... the whole concept of a Brazilian Japanese sounds like it would combine just about all...

i totally agree - skelton could do no more than he did, or he would have been found offside - i mention the final try only in the context that he looked to be preety much 'done' for the day, as he jogged back onside....

Thanks Bruce - I could not have phrased it better myself... I think alot of people are unaware how hard it is for athletes of this size to stay injury-free, and looking at young skelton on the tellie, I see some potential for Hip, Knee and other joint problems that a smaller player may have less...

As a declared sceptic, I must concede a very strong game by Will Skelton on the weekend, not to detract from a young bloke, but an older, more experienced player would have snapped up that pass that became an intercept - (he was being too careful) - and in the case of the last try, I had the...
