Well, we could have a GPS Day… That’d be tops.

The overwhelming sentiment attached to EJ (Eddie Jones) is that he’s very smart, very tough and very, very convinced that he owes nobody anything.

Poido is a lovely bloke. Not an intellectual though, no sirree

every time i hear the name Les Kiss I have nightmarish flashbacks of Pat McCabe running bolt upright over and over again into the well publicised Irish choke-tackle defence. <shiver> it seems the only person who hadn’t read the papers that week, was Robbie Deans

Bizarre, you say? next you’ll be telling me he isn’t responsible for us not winning RWC’23

I tend to agree with his observations. Just was amused by the delivery.

Cully’s article reads like a forum post… ”Man watches U18 tournament, discovers answers to Australia’s woes”

6-5 scrum under the posts scrum wheeled already stay on, don't break, looking for the big hit fairly definitively, it was these 3 actual points that cost us the game

And let’s not forget it was his poor defensive read that cost us the RWC 03 I’m not normally a fan of blaming a single player for a loss, but am willing to make an exception in this case, since he’s now also cost us the RWC 23 as well Burn him!

I agree with this ^^^ Cheika’s spin-the-bottle selection policies were bizarre. He played favourites with certain players. This included players making their career debut in a new position just so he could pick them. i have no doubt he’s a great motivational speaker but if that was the main...

I’m going to nominate all of the Six Nations. This is on the basis that they are a cartel that manipulates WR (World Rugby) (IRB) to protect their view of the game and their ‘patch’ at the expense of genuine change.

Damn

Can I be the person who mentions Simon Cron? coach bingo

I agree that we need to build on existing clubs scenes. There’s plenty of them knocking about and all have history and a junior (village) club underpinning could add in subbies clubs also, if they wanted if we’re doing it via the existing premiership scene (i.e Shute in Sydney, Vikings...

Thank you I agree the issue is complex and the problems severe, possibly even intractable. However, this being an internet forum and us not having to actually deliver anything, we can speculate on our preferred approaches given we all have a common love for the welfare of the game. My view on...

What do I mean? I mean a thriving club scene that reaches out from the heartland and has involvement elsewhere. In my example, I pointed out the support at Penrith. Of those players on the touchlines, many I recognised from Junior rugby. Blacktown (in particular) has a team in every junior age...

I agree I think the long term approach (Wallabies First) has demonstrably failed and is not (anyway) sustainable. How did we end up competing with Europe to attract or retain talent? It's a fools errand. Let's get a bottom-up system going that we can be proud of, is sustainable and will...

If we had more money, would we be better? If we were better, would we have more money? Riddle me that one… …but before you do, let me tell you about a Colts trial game at Penrith a year or two ago. Loads of people at the game (hundreds) so no shortage of support from the community. All 3...

I apologise for any unwelcome drollery and withdraw accordingly.

Give it a rest mate how many ockers are saving up to go to a rah-rah world cup in… France your indignation about Eddie doesn’t mean we can’t also have a chuckle on the otherside and trust me, spending time with stockbrokers in return for a freebie is a trial in itself. Torture, darling
