All too true, I wonder how Rod Kafer will describe that turn of events. I hope your pessimism is unfounded TWAS, both in respect of any demise of the Tahs and also hoping that the current spate of team announcements is not the highpoint of the Reds 2015 season!

"McMahon’s was a good debut, he just needs to subconsciously adjust to the pace of the game. Sean’s a good player with great acceleration and power. His work rate is fantastic." - Bob Dwyer Sums it up for me, thanks Bob

I love being a New South Welshman. Here we sit patiently waiting for the season to start, confident in our players and management. Just shooting the shit about how to colour in flags. Meanwhile the Reds mindlessly run in circles shooting each other down as they rabidly approach their 4000th post.

I have been watching test rugby for 45 years and the two things I think I learned this year are that if Australia is to win consistently it has to generally be confident of scoring more tries than the opposition and we have to accept that, unlike NZ SA and Eng, all of our big bruising impact...

Thanks for the rating guide Huge. As you have forced my hand I suppose I would lean towards Ash's 4-5, his second half was short even though improved. Lets not forget the now much admired Honey Badger was always good for a few first half bungles for at least his first five tests although he...

I don't know about these ratings out of 10, I couldn't find the thread on how they are calculated. Like judging how many wins on the tour will constitute a success. It just seemed to me that he made the usual number of elementary errors that most blokes make in their first half. I assume it is...

Grub? Keiran Read. Intentionally offside at a penalty tap. Then took off early before the tap. Launched himself at Pocock's knees. A penalty for Australia. Two years out for Pocock, because no one can tell me the first injury is unrelated to the second. I hope there is a thread on that...

I am just glad that the ARU has been able to correct everyone's misunderstanding of their role in the events. Mr Hawker was able to point out that the only reason they had to say nothing all of this time was to allow the process to maintain its integrity. While that might explain him being...

I believe that was announced; Fox money covers the ARU staging costs. My personal opinion would be that it would be more popular on TV if all games were televised. However they aren't and I think elsewhere it has been reported that the viewing numbers are low. A shame given that we are swamped...

As you can see I am a member of Easts. All members were advised of the club's decision not to participate due to the financial cost of doing so. Instead support in kind was provided to the Country Eagles and Easts players did certainly play in that team. It is a fine point of distinction to...

http://www.rugby.com.au/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=3cJMoqgJdXg%3d&tabid=1968 Does not seem to be any avenue of appeal from a Tribunal finding A Tribunal should proceed with expedition. Presumably all the evidence is in place, in which case it should have been held. Or we will have to wait...

What, is he being paid $150-200k pa? That's what a normal father in an executive role might get and they get to watch their sons play each weekend. He said himself he is the custodian of the game. Nice that he went to see his son play? That's what Dads do. The CEO of the ARU needs to do that...

This has been openly canvassed as the A-League has become established. They went for summer purely because they wanted to start off without competition from the other football codes. You may recall the long hiatus from the end of the last NSL season in September until the start of the A-League...

The whole advantage is INTERNATIONAL! We get dragged along with the success and expansion of the international game even if we only do a quarter decent off field job Rugby's status in Eastern Europe and China has gone up dramatically because it is an Olympic sport. New nations such as Kenya...

My take is that the Tele is in the Beale camp and Aus in the ARU. The SMH seemed to have the running when it was a general squad issue and they had the players. Now the players are in the UK (and probably a bit cautious about the press) and they are stuffed. News must just be comfortable...

I am not sure I agree TWAS. We may have over achieved sometime in the past but we are certainly underachieving to a very high standard now. Soccer is a world game with a big following in Australia, especially with such a large immigrant population. They just killed us with petty nationalism...

Thanks Kenny P. A good summation of what has happened. For the mere expenditure of 16 minutes most of what has transpired in these 3350 texts was explained. Obviously this was all about the hare and the tortoise after all. Those fast blokes running ahead of me missed the turn off. Maybe they...

According to Wilson the ARU went to some lengths to get hold of another phone. Of course who believes anything she says?

Fair go Ash, I even put a smiley face against it

That is what the news site Slim referenced said; or actually it said he confused the numbers. Might have been running off a recently used number list? None of it still makes sense though. Allegedly the forensics proved that the one image was sent twice so unless he sent it three times and the...
