Hence why I think there are less and less turning up. What's the point, they are not worth supporting, but many will have a spray on their way out the door, doesn't achieve anything but they don't want to quietly slink away. I also don't think it was really abuse, the "fan" or ex-fan now was...

Or we will see the new political age of management in Australia, an incident or something will be manufactured to take a headline or two and the friendly PR machine will happily and compliantly give the air time over and supress the attention to the Wallabies bad stories until the momentum is...

Lemmings do the same. As usual Wamberal, you come out with a shallow and simplistic statement to discount and deride anybody who dares question and ask for more. Perhaps that is why there are so few supporters left, if there is no pleasure in the event and people choose to spend elsewhere...

The Tui incident is actually showing the shitty nature of Pro rugby in this country. 1) The "fan" was clearly heard over the attempted Hodge/Kafer interview. He was clearly angry and frustrated, but wasn't actually swearing unless simulated swear words "friggen" is now clashed as profanity. It...

Actually if you have studied the history the decline started with Macqueen and his structured game. From that point on the players became deskilled and trained to fill the endless recycle game roles. This was reinforced under Jones play by the numbers plan which also devalued the scrum, and saw...

Just as an additional subjective method of judging viewership and engagement look at the posting on the forum. Look at the Argie game tonight, when was the last time you can remember a Wallabies game attracting so few posts. I would also point out that a great many former regular posters have...

Yes he did, after the crowd member was pointing in his face and obviously said something pretty offensive (possibly your an overpaid cream puff who can't carry). Given how he was marked away by the throat by another crowd member I don't think Tui was in any danger at any time apart from perhaps...

Nobody in all honesty as there are just too many players like Hooper, Folau etc guaranteed places in the squad and team because they are being paid far too much and RA must play them to get some sort of ROI as they have no other cash and while players are in such a position there is no real...

As I said on the Wallabies thread, it was brewing for at least 2-3 minutes in the background as Kafer interviewed Hodge with the same bloke. WTF was the security, it should have been nipped in the bud early and the bloke marched. Drunken idiots aside it should be a wake up call for the RA at...

Id agree with your post but the problem with To'omua being the best 10 in the country is that he hasn't been in the country to prove that, and previous showing haven't proved that to be the point. This game he certainly didn't get the chance to with Beale running more metres Crossfield that the...

According to the commentators and some regular posters the performance of the Wallabies is not a coaching issue. I would point out the following in rebuttal:- 1) Poor core skill execution. How many poor passes, woeful running lines (Kurtley Beale running 25 metres across field at least 5 times...

THP remains a massive issue. Even with Vui, there really needs to be a third option because even if he signs for another year in 2020 Kepu is nearing the end of his career and the Tahs need to me using him in an active mentoring role now. I also add Hooker in as I still do not rate Fitzpatrick...

There must be a lot of ex-Wallabies fans out there who are whiney and expectant then given the decline in ratings. I didn't walk away, but I certainly went to sleep in my chair. Also it isn't too much to expect that highly paid professionals would actually improve upon their skills throughout...

Is it not the case that Super Rugby is at best a break even prospect and it is propped up by the RC. If that is then the case the RC can prop up the domestic competition whatever that maybe. Whatever it is the contracted players simply must play more and up and coming players also play more...

Contrary to popular belief I am not a cynic, but I don't let my belief that we have some very good resource delude me into thinking that they are well managed or developed. I have never lost hope that perhaps the real issues will be realised and addressed. These are not cynical thought...

Its funny Barbar I seem to recall a few of us having a go about the structural aspects of Australian Rugby as far back as 2011 and earlier and others defending the ARU and state Unions to the death. Funny how times change, now apparently they should have seen the problems coming, but they had...

No. I don't we agree at all. I'm not be creatively obtuse. Larkham should not be considered a candidate under any circumstances. There is nothing that this coaching panel has achieved in the last three years that remotely qualifies any of them for consideration. Continuity would only be a...

On point 1 it is essentially what I have been saying for 8 years here and elsewhere, as far back as when I questioned why regardless of who was coaching the Tahs the results were shit. Chieka came in and in 18 months won the title but then it again turned to shit, for various reasons which were...

How are these blokes genuine candidates. The Rebels were pretty average this year in a very average Australian Conference. Thorn was very heavily criticised and rightly so and would have to be on thin ice with the Reds. As for Larkham, even Thorn has more coaching trophies in his cabinet.

What a load of shit. Deans got the arse because he talked gobbledegook, had no clear logic in selection or game plans and the results were shite. There was also the significant pressure from a successful Reds season which not only got the results but played great rugby doing it. Chieka has...
