As we all do, Huge. .

Based on this post in her blog, Kelley Moore proves you can build a successful business "supporting powerful leaders as they acquire the knowledge, skills and wisdom that enables them to be more productive, self-directed and passionate in their personal and professional lives," without having...

And one more pearler: "The new coach spoke of combining talent and attitude. The latter for me is the most important because everyone at that level has about the same amount of talent." Exactly the same thought occurred to me three decades ago watching Mark Ella in a Test. I reflected, "I...

Each Sunday morning I sally forth to purchase The Sun-Herald. Historically the Fairfax publications used to cater for the sentence-forming section of the Sydney population, but alas no more. So I buy the paper basically for its TV Guide. But I always make a point of devouring the latest...

I've been verballed. The new development at Uni No.2 will not "be shared with all sports". I think we have 47 sporting clubs at Sydney Uni. The new field should have a top class turf surface basically used for just rugby and soccer - men's and women's - except that there will probably be...

My mail is that Foley was offering him a coaching position. He chews them up and spits them out, does Foles. Or perhaps he was enquiring whether the young bloke could speak Afrikaans. .

Glen Christini appears to have been a truly transformational coach. Hopefully his achievements thus far will be sustainable. Good luck to Gerrard Fasavulu. We need outstanding coaches at the level where player development in this country really occurs. .

It was a forfeit but with an unfortunate story attached. I suggested on another thread that the ARU or SRU should pay a coach of professional standard a decent salary package to take on the role of full time Director of Rugby at Penrith. Actually I suggested it should be a Director of...

tc, my reference to those putting forward the 10-Club proposal was specifically directed at "the powers that be". The huge "downside in dropping" Penrith that I see is that it is irreversible. Once out they wouldn't ever get back in. In 1996 when my own club was targetted it was recognised...

Just a quick comment on the proposed 10-Club format. Excluding Penrith means permanently abandoning a huge part of the Sydney Basin and its population. One would be entitled to expect that those putting forward such an irreversible change regularly spend their Saturday afternoons watching...

"Great for the players"? Maybe so for the aspirants from the Shute Shield but more likely an end-of-season junket for the established contracted players. And yet another perversion of the Barbarians concept, following on from the appalling example previously set by the ARU in labelling...

Someone of a more cynical disposition than me might have observed that the appointment of Totality Tony was serendipitous for the ARU in that it reduced their salary burden. .

I have no knowledge of whether Louden was considered for the Head Coach position, en_force_er. In fact it would be very much the exception for an Australian rugby appointment, whether for a coaching or administrative position, to be made on the basis of a systematic search for the best qualified...

Your mob have already made one mistake by not appointing Todd Louden as Head Coach and I have no idea whether he would be prepared to again do an understudy role, but if so and you pass him up you will have missed a great opportunity. .

I've heard that Warren Livingstone wants to buy the licence from Sydney Rugby Union to run the Shute Shield. Apropos of which, how are Balmain travelling in Division 1 of Subbies? .

Unnecessary verbosity, Scoey. .

If I take the ticket do I have to go? I've given away Bledisloe tickets in the past rather than go to a ground where you need binoculars to watch the big screens. .

I was told that as one player trudged off after his first game in Ones, Brock greeted him with, "Get a photo of it, son." Thinking that this might have meant that the coach had been impressed by his performance, when he got into the sheds he asked one of the old hands. Apparently the message...

There has been a lot of unwarranted criticism of Robbie over his mantra, "Play what's in front of you." If he had just said that and then shut up I'm convinced that we could have been reasonably competitive, even against the All Blacks. The problem arose when he proceeded to elaborate and...

McKenzie at the 'Tahs: 2007 - 13th 2008 - 2nd and Grand Finallists (with Louden) Food for thought. .
