That sounds lovely. Count me in.

Nice write up from Paul Cully over at the Roar. here are the closing paragraphs which sum it up nicely for me: http://www.theroar.com.au/2012/06/06/wallabies-show-collective-failure-looks-like/

Firstly I blame o' Neil, this was ridiculous scheduling for us. Next I blame the players, we had all the territory and possesion, pretty much any well executed game plan would have got us enough points to be clear of The scots. Next I blame the selectors. What more evidence to the need to know...

It doesn't work that way. For teams to be effective they have to have complete trust in their teammates and be working towards the same overall goals. It seems to me that the tahs have (consciously or subconsciously, it doesn't matter) gone into self preservation mode and thats often driven by...

He got tah'd

Sacking a new coach one year into a 3 year contract would have to be seen as a major failure. If Foley goes I would expect some of the Board to follow. Personally I don't think Foley should be sacked, but I do think there will be chanegs in the rest of the coaching team, same as has occured...

The tahs discipline has also been poor this year, too many soft penalties

I can only guess how cold it is in Canberra tonight, its bitter here in Sydney today and apparently there is snow falling in the mountains. IT will be like a Dunedin night game in winter

I'll drop this in here to keep you amused on a Friday afternoon - its a league related video "That's in Queensland": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbgShiaal6E

I am waiting for lightening bolts to come out of Richie's hands. Actually alot of the Emporors quotes could also have come from Richie: "Everything is proceeding as I have forseen" "If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed" "Now you pay your price for your lack of vision" and...

What's with the avatar roffschoice?

Do they celebrate April fools day a bit late up north? Where did this come from?

For some reason I am feeling quietly bullish about the tahs this weekend. There is no logic to it. Unfortunately I won't be at the game this weekend, daughters birthday on Sunday.

Yep, and linking it back to WJ's post - I am more inclined to look at the players rather than Gaffney or Foley. Reality is the tahs haven't had a world class 10 since super rugby commenced and we won't win the comp until we do. Beale was the closest we got, but we got impatient and rushed him...

Also the right decision from my perspective. It would be very different it Graham was going OS or into the Wallaby set up again but going to a direct competitor where he will have some involvement in player recruitment/retention means he can't stay on.

I would like to see Foley and Barnes swap positions at some stage during the game if possible, say with 15mins to go. I think wing is AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s best position, he just needs to learn/be empowered to roam more like Mitchell does.

Vickerman's comeback seems to be nearing according to the CRC.

Isn’t there an issue with him signing with an NRL club given Nasser isn’t an accredited NRL agent? I struggle to see why he would go back to NRL, but if he does it would be hard to call him money hungry as I reckon he could make much more doing other things. In saying all that, $BW shits me...

I thought Ulugia came off injured last week and so would have been under some cloud for this week.

I agree Rob, McKibbon's pass was crisp on the weekend (relative to Sarel's anyway) and it seemed to bring our outside backs more into play. Also, I think Sarel's running game is more suited to later in the match although it will vary by opposition.
