anyone bought tickets to the game in Melbourne?

I have finished reading the book actually mate, it was a requirement of the assessment! It has definitely helped in that regard, but the pathway he chose doesn't particularly represent the bigger picture. Our own Bob Dwyer saw him at a 7's tournament which led to his selection in the HK 7's...

Exactly mate that's what I'm looking for. A document would be ideal but not necessary. Just if someone could fill me in from the junior club level to the representative opportunities etc etc. Gregan talks about in his autobiography playing in the Australian Under 17's championships in Darwin...

Hey guys! I'm currently doing an essay on the sports delievery system in Australia, and how it helped a prominent athlete reach their full potential in their given sport. I'm using George Gregan as an example, but as I'm sure you are all aware, the "Pathway to Gold" model has changed...

Glad to be of assistance mate.

Well it can, because it would have if that ball travelled backwards. Thats why the law is set up the way it is. But nothing you and me can do about it. It was awarded a try. I've seen far far worse.

I still think watching the footage on the big screen, that the ball didn't leave his hands forward. A pass will defy the laws of Physics if a player with forward momentum, lets of a line ball, and goes backwards. The law of the forward pass says the ball has to leave the hands in a forward...

Sounds rough. Wouldn't recommend it out on the field though. Apparently all the small kids were terrified you were dying while the photographers took happy snaps without actually helping :/

I am not unfortunately. Experience was key to make the Bareback XV team

Not quite The Rugby Club, but related. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11244408&ref=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter I didn't watch the game on TV because I was at the game. But agree or disagree?

By the way can anyone tell me what happened with Brumby Jack having an up and under in his suit?!! Totally missed it!

Word was that if the Brums took the issue to the newspaper, they would deny them Friday night matches and any future ANZAC games. So I'm assuming the Newspaper came to the Brumbies? Hope the Ruckus crew did you guys proud tonight. Sorry for the woeful effort at the NZ anthem. Apparently we...

I tend to follow this train of thought because as mentioned previously, I grew up in league country, and I always copped shit for how much of a 'pussy sport' Union was, when in fact, the only union they watched was the news highlights on Channel 9 slamming the Wallabies for another Bledisloe...

By the way, heres the link the discussion on Fox Sports (4th Video down) http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/benji-marshalls-move-back-to-the-nrl-raises-another-question-where-should-he-play/story-fn2mcuj6-1226893302939

I think its easy to get dragged into the debate the Tallis highlights though. As a long time union supporter growing up in a place where the Union club had a shit reputation and league was flourishing, I tended to have a chip on my shoulder about league. I suppose my mentality these days about...

Because its a provincial competition. I think I should be reserved for special occasions. Promote National pride for a Test Match between two nations. Not every 6 games a week in Super Rugby. I'm still all for the national anthems on ANZAC Day and I think its bloody ridiculous SANZAR won't...

So do you think because of Tallis'rank within Rugby League, that his opinion has greater weight in debate? Does that mean you think he's right? I'm just interested to hear.

I don't know if I would do it for EACH match, but certainly for events like ANZAC Day and the Finals series maybe; especially the Grand Final.

Following Benji Marshall's announcement that he would be leaving the Blues and Super Rugby to go back to Rugby League, comments were made on Monday Night with Matty Johns, where Gordon Tallis made the comments that "Rugby want you there for the headlines, but they actually want you to fail I...

I certainly wouldn't have Palu in there. Unless you put Higgers at 8 or the better and more efficient V.2 McCalman? My eyes were as wide as dinner plates when I saw Horwill's name up there. Are they kidding?!
