i don't care if there is melbournians in the team or not. i am concerned about good players. do the people who support rugby and have friends in the local comp not go to rebels games because their friends aren't playing? i'd be surprised. not having many sydney born players doesn't seem to...

that is an aggressive widening of the field of play at 8m per side. i would suggest all you would need is an extra 5m width (2.5m per side).

disagree re AFL being simple to understand for a new observer. try explaining the logic of prior opportunity (and how it is judged), holding the ball (which at best seems policed at random), and the 360 rule to someone who is new to the game. i've taken quite a few canadians to games when...

League's heartland is now the most hotly contested sporting market in the country. GWS is having a hard time and i dont think that will change. what league should be worried about is soccer. WSW are killing it in a region rich with immigrants who have an affinity for soccer. WSW are getting...

i don't know. Saders are all over the shop this year. one week winning africa, the next losing in perth. inconsistent team and potentially no carter. beat them last year, so you can't say we aren't a chance. to be honest, without carter their backline isn't that flash - fruean i like (though...

that said i can't wait for burgess to come back, hopefully stomp on phipps at training, and take his place. he has been useless and should consider himself very lucky, yet again, that kingi is injured. zacker will start our next games i reckon.

i didn't mind. to be honest, that is becoming a common statement from the players and if you think to before the sharks debacle - we were looking VERY good, just lacking finish in the dying 15 minutes. we've had three bad games out of 4 since then, but if the players can sort themselves out on...

he'd have to be a gurantee to be in there for the spring tour if not the RC - barnes on his way out after all.

sounds like a great appointment. excellent rugby background and solid corporate experience. would be surprised if he's not an ARU appointment and long term versus interim. like it.

i am as frustrated as any at the loss, but it was an entertaining game. i will renew year in year out as long as it is entertaining top flight rugby. heck - you can always cheer for the other team! the losses certainly won't stop me from going to rugby. if there was another rugby option in town...

that's where i struggle...if he doesnt get ireland, does he take scotland and rule himself out of wallabies? is a scotland gig worth it?

i would endorse if it brought in an excellent attack coach to g alongside him that said, i think the rebels are looking at Scott Johnson. word is that mckenzie isn't going to get the irish gig, schmidt will, so i think the rebels are pursuing johnson and mckenzie. (queue the why would mckenzie...

ya have now seen the replay (was at the game) and could see he was sore. hopefully he's ok and can play through!

richard kingi out for the year. needs surgery on his knee. bring back beale please.

yup. not that he didn't do a decent job of it, it's just that its all he did and never got more than a yard or two over the gain line. my gripe was mostly with the lack of creativity of the backline. no runners coming from off the ball and hitting defenders on an angle. it seemed they tried to...

i've now rewatched the last 15 and can see now that Inman was injured. JOC (James O'Connor) was floating in and our of 10 for a bit of that last stretch of play. at one point he was lined up at full back and roberts slotted into 10 and proceeded to kick the ball away - straight to the opposition. The whole...

agree. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is the best 13 in australia by a long shot and he is playing the best he has in awhile at the moment. have to keep him there. just a question of what style of 12 you want, a playmaker or a bash n barge or that middle ground with tapuai. who plays 10 and 15 is fast becoming a big...

if he was limping - ok, but i was in the rebels attack end in the second half and didn't notice. i didn't see that.

not comparing v JOC (James O'Connor). but yes it has improved but QC (Quade Cooper) is still woeful in defense. his technique is shocking for a super 15 player. i'll have to watch the rebs game on recording, as to be honest, JOC (James O'Connor) didn't look too bad live at the game.
