    Waratahs 2014

    I am missing something - Why would Beale and O'Connor not stay in Melbourne right where they are? - The Rebels need them as much as any other team, and the Tahs certainly do not need JOC (James O'Connor) (someone mentioned his 'brand' and if that means 'influence' I agree, we don't need it)... The Rebels could...

    Waratahs 2014

    that is good news, but what I REALLY LIKE was the reasons they gave for re-signing... 'UN-FINISHED BUSINESS'... bloody inspirtational these blokes! There ought to be a statue of TPN outside the Sydney Football Stadium if he and the Tahs can pull off a title!...

    Waratahs 2014

    How much longer can AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) survive in the top league? He is a phenominally stable player - and a true "big occassion" player - but I wonder what the Tahs will have ready when time steps in, as it must begin to, at 29...

    I wonder if Geoff Garland reads this Forum, and has the Round One Results to hand.....

    Rugby Jerseys and Merch Deals

    I look like a fat bastard wearing one - and I'm not even 20 stone! (quite) - it's puzzling!

    Rugby Jerseys and Merch Deals

    Thanks... i have one of those XXXX jerseys - but its ink stained from a leaking pen... For me, that is the best Jersey - AND the best LOGO we ever had, I don't really understand why they had to simplify it - it was brilliant.

    Waratah Shield 2013

    Noted - I am not in the habit of getting stuck into Rugby Volounteers, particularly at schoolboy level - its understandable if they are trying to do it in their spare time... Its a bloody shame tho, that someone drawing a salary out of the NSWRU could not also take the time to get behind these...

    Waratah Shield 2013

    I take your point, and appreciate your efforts on this board - but someone must be charged with running this competition - some individual within a larger organisation who is given the responsibility of issuing results... If he is in a voluntary position it is wholly undertsandable, but I am...

    Rugby 7s general chat

    If an 18 year old kid with a bit of high school rugby, some real talent as say, a sprinter or a tri-athlete, and a sniff of Schoolboy Rep Rugby in his CV is looking at the 7s, he has to see some 'shape'... he has to see a means of getting by for 3 or 4 years in order for an Olympic Games to come...

    Waratah Shield 2013

    so - seriously? - there is no web-site to record the result of these games? nothing in the paper to announce the 2nd round? It would be interesting to know on Who's actual desk, the responsibility for logistics and organisation of this competition actually lands... why is he not doing his...

    Rugby 7s general chat

    i think that statement is being at best, deliberately obtuse, and at worst, just plain dull... why would you accuse others of nonsensical logic - that no-one else has suggested besides yourself? What is being suggested, is that if the Australian 7s programme was put on an equal footing with...

    Rugby 7s general chat

    Facilities? Yes... absolutely. Playing Structure? - No. Remuneration? - (of a scale order to keep the best players in that Sport) - does not yet exist. Remember, the NZRU were recently quoted as offering contracts of $120,000 per year for their 7s players, and deservedly so, given their...

    Lions Tour 2013

    You are dead-right, (although i would have left Finegan off that list - he was a Penalty Disaster most times I saw him play)... Grey has some strong games - and Walker was perhaps at his best. We had a tremendous team AND a rare team ethos back then - owing mostly to Macqueen and Eales... they...

    Australia vs British and Irish Lions - 1st Test (Brisbane)

    Cooper will play - but not the first Test... I believe Deans is trying to make him step-up a notch prior to picking him. ohh - and I think its a dumb strategy.

    Australia vs British and Irish Lions - 1st Test (Brisbane)

    I cannot speak for the South Africans, but for the Australians and New Zealanders, the Lions are all about taking on the Colonists (apologies to the Irish - its guilt by association)... You only need to to include the word 'British' in there, and that's usually enough for us... Putting them in a...

    Rugby 7s general chat

    because 7s is a different game, often producing a subtley different athlete, and the club structure which produces 15s players (however haphazardly) is not that suitable for producing 7s players - particularly in countries - like Australia - where the player depth is somewhat shallow.

    Good Grief.... I remember playing on days when we couldn't be sure if we were mauling or drowning.... The Lunatics (Groundskeepers) have taken over the asylum.
