    Deans contract extension

    "Dream team of Deans . . . & Foley"? I used to have dreams like that when I was a wee little tugger. I'd usually wake up and find I'd pissed the bed in fright. Let's leave Foley where he is so he can bring the same level of excitement to the rugby followers of Perth that he did to us in Sydney...

    Australia v. France 10 Nov 2012 Stade de France, Paris

    "I think Cliffy Palu might last another 5 minutes and then bring the . . . the back row on." Matthew Burke again, this time demonstrating that it doesn't help to have played Super Rugby if you don't know who's on the bench.

    Australia v. France 10 Nov 2012 Stade de France, Paris

    "I thought it was a fast start by both teams." Matthew Burke, demonstrating yet again you have to have played Super Rugby to appreciate the subtleties of the game. .

    Australia v. France 10 Nov 2012 Stade de France, Paris

    They're a caring mob, your Frogs. Full time and the rest of the team head off to the showers leaving their team mate to be rushed to the Intensive Care Unit. C'est la vie Française. .

    Your analogy of course, Knuckles, doesn't hold for the Wallabies. .

    Shute Shield 2013

    I'll second that, Andrew. Here's a man who's not afraid to let it all hang out. 23 at Club training Thursday night and 19 on Saturday. .

    Former Sydney Uni Player to Wear #10 for USA Eagles

    Correct, barbar, son of Michael L'Estrange. The young bloke would have acquired instant Septic status by being born while the old man was studying at Georgetown University or more likely a little later when he was at the University of California, Berkeley. I hope you don't mind your post being...

    Who should be the next ARU CEO?

    I might be a bit thick, barbarian, but I thought the thread title was: "Who should be the next ARU CEO?" Unless the title changed somewhere along the way in the 75 posts thus far, I don't think participation in the thread should be restricted along Burkean lines to only those who know "what the...

    Western Force 2013

    I posted the following in the thread, "Who should be the next ARU CEO?", but then remembered that the Western Force were also in the market for a top man: The sort of person I would be looking for would have had demonstrated business success; be a top flight negotiator; and have a love for and...

    Who should be the next ARU CEO?

    That might make him ideally suited for the job of getting our code, currently tailed off and looking as if it will pull up lame, back in the race, rif. .

    Who should be the next ARU CEO?

    I argued above that we should try to find the new CEO from within our own ranks. The sort of person I would be looking for would have had demonstrated business success; be a top flight negotiator; and have a love for and commitment to grass roots rugby. Ideally in my view he/she would also be...

    Who should be the next ARU CEO?

    "we need a top notch sports administrator" "don't agree that they need to come from rugby" "don't agree that they . . . need an overpowering love of the game" Aha, I thought, Gagger's on about revhead Jason Allen. But then I got to the part about: "would figure out very quickly that growing...

    Newcastle Hunter Rugby Union

    I think the reality, AS and ht, is that Todd is a professional coach - the most professional in the business - and he has to earn an income. Apparently Wanderers had the resources to be able to offer him a full time gig. As for the suggestion that hiring Todd "won't guarantee success" for the...

    There was always something about Waylon's photo that had me intrigued, but take away the hat and the fag and it's easy to see the family resemblance. .

    Is intent enough?

    Advanced English Comprehension 301 Question 1. Consider the following passage: 'If you look at it from a written-word perspective, there were six penalties a side." a. Rewrite the sentence in order to make clear what the speaker was trying to say. b. Critically evaluate the context in...

    Shute Shield 2013 Transfers

    I only expressed the view that he would not go to Easts, Knuckles. I very specifically declined to venture an opinion as to whether he might go to Parramatta. In the first instance I had knowledge that he had no intention of transferring to Easts. I have no such knowledge with regard to...

    Waratahs 2013

    They passed over the best in the business. Attack coach with the Bulls when they first won the Super title in 2007. Attack coach with the Waratahs when they made the Final in 2008. Todd Louden. Can't get a gig in this country. Perhaps too much of a threat. .

    Shute Shield 2013 Transfers

    Yes. I won't bother checking about the Parra speculation. If the young bloke wanted to go there it wouldn't be a bad thing by any means. It's all a matter of what he sees as best for his future. He's your classic second rower with a bit of mongrel who's going to get harder as he matures. .
