Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) has only played one Test. But he has tremendous potential. Let's compare notes in twelve months or so.

It is often the case that it is impossible to understand the real challenges and demands of a senior position like this unless you have either done it, or been in the supporting structure. Just a couple of things: how would you motivate and manage your direct reports? The "structure and depth"...

Good news for the Marlins, Dave. Lets hope the kid lives up to the hype!

Still a while to go before the game. Are you willing to bet than nobody else will drop out?

Serious situation. RA should charter a flight to take a couple of reinforcements. Any suggestions?

Yes, coaches are not athletes, they don't have to play the game. They don't need to make what must be a big step up in terms of physicality. With coaches it is all between the ears. He is currently coaching our most successful rugby team. That did not happen overnight, and it is not an...

He played for West Harbour, and coached there too. We need to get the best possible coaches into the Wallabies set-up. Its a bit difficult if we say they have to have experience without being willing to give them that experience.

Talking of possible additions to the coaching team I would consider John Manenti. He has a wonderful knowledge of the game, and seems to know how to get the best out of the players. Simon Cron has a lot of ability too.

I am not saying we should. Rennie has been criticised for this, which is unfair. He did not take the kick, Donaldson did.

The pressure is on all the time in Test matches. He fluffed a kick he should have made. End of story.

There's quite a few success stories, something that gets lost in all the doom and gloom.

Fix the injuries problem, fix the discipline, and we can get into the semis, I reckon.

There is absolutely no way they would sack him.

You blokes were a bit unlucky this season. When we played you at Manly Oval you had 6 or more changes because of influenza. You looked like champions that day. We pulled the preliminary final out of the fire, Edmed made a sensational save when your hooker had the pill over the line.

Do you expect Gleeson to get a start next week, Dave?

He seems to have a good temperament. He has worked hard to improve all aspects of his game. No doubt he will continue to improve.

My sister has become an expert at this ancestry business. Apparently she and I have strikingly different ancestries but we are definitely the son and daughter of the same parents.

They bloody nearly did, they were saved by Cooper coming off the bench in the last few minutes and running 30 metres through heavy traffic.

Won't happen, either. Changing the coach would be the worst possible thing. Back to square one for the team. I am totally bemused by all this hysteria. We have lost too many games in virtually the last play of the day. A couple of those were down to iffy refereeing decisions. We need to...
