    Agreed Should be K Hunt. There's a bloke who actually wants to win a game.

    Super Rugby Rnd 2 2020: NSFW Waratahs vs Auckland Blues

    It baffles me that Robertson gets a gig at this level. In 3 years of watching, I can't recall a single noteworthy event from him. Not even scrummaging. The scrum markedly improved when he went off. Swinton is another. Please name me a thing he does effectively, other than having a scary...

    Tahs powderpuff pack. Guys walking, punk-ass ball carrying, soft weak tackles Need some hairy-assed country boys. Get rid of these GPS Tarquins.

    Deary me. What a poor, poor effort by him. Two missed tackles directly for tries. He won't be playing next week.

    I like your positivity for Akira! Alas, it's more likely he'll make 2.5 tackles and run 10 metres - then get bored, spark up a metaphorical ciggie and lean on the goal posts, looking all moody 'n shit. Is there a more frustrating player in rugby?

    Super Rugby Rd2 2020: Brumbies v Rebels

    I'm happy for Simone I watched him when he first broke through in NRC. He was toying with blokes. Making them look silly. Then he went to shit, which made me look bad for bigging him up to everyone in the first place. Thanks Irae. We're good again bro.

    Samu back on. What a class act His metres-after-contact would (I reckon) make him a running back prospect quality. So many hot young things in the back row stakes (Valetini, Leota etc etc) You know you'd back Samu to top the stats against all those blokes.

    The stint in league has been great for Wright He's always had speed. Now he's got defence and a bit mongrel to go with it. Good on him.

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    We've won as many world cups without Super Rugby and Foxtel as we've won with it. Having said that, I'm not arguing the truth of your point. I'm merely suggesting that propping up the Wallabies with hired-guns while we hollow out the game's foundations isn't my preference.

    Well, there you go. A massive haircut, just to continue with the same schemozzle. In 5 years time, it'll be down half as much again and the decision might be out of our hands anyway. I ask you. What have the Romans ever done for us? :)

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Completely true. Foxtel is dying as a concept. I can't imagine that, in 5 years' time, any of us will have a black box next to the TV. If you take the concept seriously, then RA should be selling streaming services themselves. We're not there yet but this (Kayo, Optus etc) is the path. I...

    I agree with her approach. We've had the J'ON Doctrine for 20-odd years now (I.e ' top down, Wallabies-first, build it and they will come'). It hasn't worked. Perhaps it's time to try a different way. Can't hurt? Could it get much worse anyway? When you've got 'the leaguie at work'...

    I don't know who might be the best to broadcast it, but I do know that having SA and Argentina in the comp is hurting it for local audiences here, in pursuit of some perceived greater good. And everybody knows it. If it wasn't for 'SA television money', we'd probably be playing local derbies...

    Leaving aside the fact that Loane played 6 mostly. /reg He reminds me more of a McCaffrey ball-playing 8. And we know that Australia doesn't like footballing 8s. Or at least that's what Cheiks told us :)
