chibimatty, Richo dropped in for a chat this afternoon. He said he didn't approach any other Super Rugby franchises about Cooper Cronk. He rang several of his Reds mates, without success. It was Richo's last year as a Queensland schoolboys' Rugby selector. He wanted Cronk in the First XV squad as a...

C'mon Reds Happy, you are being a bit hard on the guy. I thought his spitting during a recent 'Captain's post-match interview' with a female presenter, was "all class"!!

Good question chibimatty. I would assume that the answer would be that it depended on how active (read 'switched on'), each Super Rugby franchise recruiting dept. was in 2001?! I will ask Richo if he spread the word among his fellow former-Wallabies, and get back to you!

I thought by posting this quote, I might unearth a comment or two. Our mate 'Richo' was so impressed with Cooper Cronk when he was playing schoolboy Rugby Union, (at St Laurence,s College, South Brisbane), that he suggested to the Queensland Reds management that they should get young Mr Cronk's...

I'm happy to be corrected, brokendown!

They are "depressing" because sadly, in 2017, the only way an Australian Super Rugby team can expect to secure a win, is when they play another Australian Super Rugby team!

"Cooper Cronk is too small to succeed in Rugby"!

The ARU should investigate a national sponsorship deal with the manufacturers of "Grippo"!

.....And our guys will be wearing their new "Zoo Sport" kit for the first time!!

ABC News: "The Prime Minister has confirmed that the Government will ban gambling advertising before 8:30pm during live sporting events, and for five minutes before and after the start of play. Mr Turnbull said the ban would not apply to racing". [Updated Sat 6th May 2017, at 11:34 pm].

I don't have Pay TV, so my comment applies to my memory of a replay of the Tah's latest home-game. I'm sure I saw the "Bet365" gambling logo sprayed on to the field. If so, as of July 1st, will games they (or any other gambling outlet) sponsor, have to start after 8:30 pm, or will they cease to...

"Here's to Rugby", being a former-'Quirindi boy' (I spent the first 39 years of my life in Quirindi), and occupying multiple roles in the community, (from Rugby club committee to Chamber of Commerce President), I love this story! The NSW Dept. of Public Works stuffed up, and sent the materials...

Well let's 'bone' him, and replace him with two young players with potential!

I (partially) agree with you Sully. I don't think he's "exceptional" at anything, maybe he's better than average at taking the high balls, but hey, he's paid to be good at a lot more than that! I think Israel Folau has 'developed' into a very average Wallaby. Given his comments, maybe Mick Byrne...

Hard to believe that things have got to this stage, given that it's a dispute between intelligent adults, not a group of kids at a day-care centre!

Don't you remember the financial crisis of 2007-2008, when banks were regarded as: "Too big to fail"?!!

Thanks for the updates folks. Pity about the last 40 mins!

I feel the passion in these posts!

Keep the comments and scores flowing team, for the benefit of those under-privileged suckers like me, with no pay TV!!

Braveheart, I can't ague with any of your points raised here, however, what is painfully obvious, is that this "amalgam" of Directors and management does not appear to be working. Labouriously reading through the pages of posts reveals a disturbing number of our members who are dissatisfied with...
