I took a work colleague from the US to the tahs last night. He mentioned that grid iron games are blacked out in the city which they are played unless the game is a sell out. Blacked out means the game is not on live tv at all in that city. They sell out most games as a result. Maybe aus rugby...

What was the ruling for the penalty on Carter for tackling Higgenbotham in the air? Are you literally not every allowed to tackle a player who has two feet off the ground or was it because it turned into a dangerous tackle given the way Higgers fell to the ground? Seems odd that anyone is...

Yeah it was a lot of noise for 11k, by tah standards. The tries helped as did the push and shove between vuna and mickibbon after the first one.

Game of two halves, all rebels then all tahs. we just weren't in the game in the first half, too many mistakes which were somewhat capitalised on by the rebels. They should have had a bigger half time lead, they bombed a try plus could possibly have gone for the line rather than take the 3 given...

the article says a confidential settlement was reached last week

I expect some of the memberships will be up this year due to the lions, this is fine - the challenge is to keep the memebrs next year. Do any of the franchises have programs to reward long term members (e.g. 3, 5, 10, 15 year members etc.)? For the tahs, all you got by renewing was slightly...

I cant help but think that the power hit would already be gone from the game if Aus had snuck home in the 2003 world cup grand final given the subsequent amount of focus there would have been on penalties to Aus from collapsed scrums.

Nope, and I am excited about the upcoming season for the first time since link was coach. There is just something refreshing about Cheika. I get the feeling we will go down fighting more this year, rather than grind out close loss after close loss.hopefully we get a better run of injuries, we...

Didnt his happen when JOC (James O'Connor) was defending outside of Cipriani and trying to cover him as well? I think Cooper is the obvious choice and should get first crack.

Two things stand out. The cleverness of Scott Allen, and the poor skills of the wobbs in the second video. Request for next time, all black attacking strategies.

Except McCaw was back in form this year.

I heard/read a stat this week that only 1 in 10 toyota cup players get NRL contracts. Thats a whole bunch of players who miss out and there has to be some late bloomers /missed talent in there.

I googled the incident Wamberal and it threw up some old names for the game the following week (apologies for the digression). Here are the teams for the 1996 grand final. M Chieka is bracketed given he was appealing his suspension for the hit on Hall in the semi. This looks like a mismatch...

I see he has actually lost weight from his school days.

You came in to see the boys in their speedos did you lindommer?

My memory of him in league was that he was great under the high ball, but otherwise was average (not bad mind you, but hardly a game breaker of the inglis, slater, hunt, thurston, hayne variety). From a rugby POV, I think its a mistake for the tahs to sign him. I guess the tahs are working on...

3. Sharpe 2. Pocock 1. Dennis

The positives: the line out (helped by charteris being off), the defence, some half breaks by individuals, the rucks (I guess but there were a mess all game) The negatives: the kicking (poor decisions and poor execution, miss finding touch from a penalty but mistakenly kick others out on the...

Is div 4 back this year?

So everyone agrees what Hore did was dirty play, unnecessary and has no place in the game. What I don't understand is why there are expectations Hore would be banned for many months. Greyling is the clearest similar case in recent times and he only got two weeks. I think they got Hore's about...
