I was beginning to worry that maybe the 'Tahs would risk losing their support base by implementing radical change. But I should have had more faith in the firm hand of Jason Allen. The announced coaching configuration plus the video labelling has given me renewed confidence that 2013 will see...

For a long while I thought they were joined at the hip, Iiwii. .

Oh dear. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. A trivial detail perhaps, but misspelling the coach's name is not necessarily a good augury, unless of course they were deliberately trying to convey the message of business as usual. .

Won't happen. .

Bernard Foley played Colts at Sydney Uni for 3 years, scaraby. As near as I can remember he would have played at 10 in every game and thus would have had a very solid grounding in the sinister arts of the five-eighth. .

You may have it already covered, cyclo, under the GOAT Factor, but I think he probably merits an extra two weeks for stupidity verging on idiocy. If you're going to administer a Liverpool Kiss or Glasgow Kiss, you don't do it when you're the bloke lying on the ground. Someone should attempt to...

More gems from Spiro: "A victory tonight would rank with the exhilarating NSW win over the 1937 Springboks at the SCG, which Evan Whitton described as 'the greatest day in Australian rugby''." I was talking to a bloke in the pub this afternoon and he reckoned it would rank with Queensland's...

Perhaps then I might be tempted to back us. .

Lindommer invokes the Vino Defence - in his case justifiably. Virtually everything that has happened to him, good or bad, over the past few decades can be more or less attributed to wine. .

Come in spinner. Guess which club Michael Hawker played his entire career with? For what it is worth I agree entirely with your last two sentences. My focus was on the absurdity of what Brett Harris wrote. .

I don't get to read any of Loopy Old Rupy's fish wrappers even though, as I've acknowledged before, Terror journo Iain Payten clearly reads my outpourings and I have some sense of guilt in not reciprocating. So it's only when people post a link to a News Ltd article that I get to see what I'm...

Perhaps more to be pitied than made fun of, IS, but what the hell? This man has been masquerading as a journalist for decades which would not concern me if his scribbling was about anything other than our sport. .

All Code?

I predict that this thread will soon wither and die. The basis for my opinion is that notwithstanding 35 posts to date wj hasn't bought into it yet. .

Arbitrary rules imposed by the giant intellects who run Australian rugby are hardly appropriate bases for determining issues of morality or ethics. And isn't that precisely the nature of elite sport? It's a lesson I learned very quickly in rugby. Unfortunately and obviously there were many...

They say you're never too old to learn, wj, but I think I'll pass on turning ambidextrous at my stage of life. .

As far as I'm concerned, wj, only if his missus is there too. As for replacing your mate JO'N, the most seamless way would obviously be to slide Totality Tony into the big chair; but I think he should be told he would have to cut back a bit on his present role of hand holding Robbie. .

For what, Charger? I didn't think I needed pity. I acknowledge that I've frequently written admiringly about all that John the Magnificent has done for to Australian rugby, but I remain confident that there will remain sufficient absurdities in our sport after his passing that I will not be...

Collateral damage, TOCC. My first sentence was just a lead in not necessarily, you may be surprised to learn, meant to be taken too seriously. .
