The world is just a different place Cornetto and it is hard to judge young people objectively. Personally I think I was lucky to be young when I was. At the same time I find it difficult to believe that since I was 20 young men magically matured but have now regressed. I know a lot of people...

Sadly I think none of us are likely to experience the pleasure of knowing what really happened. Even then it would likely turn out that all of us on this whole thread never even got close to being 75% right.

Not a lot of evidence of smart heads anywhere around this. But I do think that is a very appropriate beneficiary and the ARU can at least salvage a sliver of dignity. The next steps here are really interesting. If Beale stays in Australia to play rugby I would think it likely: - he will...

You probably haven't really tried to do this for a while. In my 'join the dots' book each puzzle is on the same page and you have to draw straight lines between the dots. You must have some crazy 3D ipad app which allows any dot in the whole program to be linked to another one.

Very disappointed to read Cheika had invited Super Rugby coaches to go on trip and they are not. This perhaps makes more sense than the rumour that he was looking for them to actually be assistants. What I find disappointing is that they are not going. Or at least Larkham, Foley and Graham aren't. They...

I am just going to let this go louie. I have been a concerned contributor to the site hoping to provide some balance. For some reason I thought that the sentiments so vociferously put on this site were reflective of a broader view amongst fans and spectators. Which I found alarming. The...

It is a matter of fact that Beale sent a text, the facts have been assessed and he has been punished. Speculation has been rife on this site from Day 1. The fairyland is not in my head but in those that continue to search for theories that fit their preferred view of the world. For example...

There seems to be some further speculation here that the second phone must belong to someone senior in the Wallaby setup. Rebecca Wilson reported a statement attributed to Bill Pulver that he is screaming for the return of the second phone. Hard to imagine either a contracted player currently...

Are you serious? 2647 posts and counting. What can you post about Beale that is more derogatory than what has been said? Really I think the Moderators should be criticised for the vague titles given to threads. Some of the following would be more accurate: Kurtley Beale Hate Thread Kurtley...

Just to try and make myself clearer. Telephone messages can be manipulated so that the software will show that it has been sent from another phone rather than the phone that did send it. I would think that forensic analysis would allow the identity of the real sender and when it was sent to be...

My recollection was that the ARU had its ears pinned back making judgements about the evidence. In particular most specific and judgemental about the most offensive text. Should have kept their mouths shut until after the Tribunal in the first place.

That's a bugger. I had assumed they would have been hard at it all day. I suppose the judge is working on something more important. Mind you if there are no witnesses to be cross examined and all evidence has already been submitted then maybe they just need to meet, confirm each other's...

So what Slim? There is hardly any evidence at all in the public domain about any of this at all, although apparently sufficient to sustain us for 2305 posts. Most of what has been communicated privately can't be commented upon. Most of the posts here condemn Beale based on the newspaper...

Who texted what to who and when is probably going to require forensic examination of both phones. If this has not been done already this may not be a one day event. If the ARU does not have the second phone this may all become just way too hard to get any determination from the Tribunal. The...

I think artificially picking numbers is a waste of time. In the first instance I can't see why winning all games is out of reach. We were unfortunate to lose to England I thought with the referee again becoming the 9th forward in the scrum. How we play and the manner of defeat, if any, will be...

Pfitzy you know exactly where it is going. Two pages of arms linked whinging with each other about Jones before we retreat to the corners with cudgels raised! BP and KB (Kurtley Beale) already mentioned in the opening flurry. That is why the Mods should close it off before it runs to 50 pages! They deserve...

Thanks Slim; you get the low point award! I didn't like to speculate on SL in my post and deleted the thought. He is already going somewhere next week so maybe they are trying to work through the logistics of joining the tour. I would love that outcome.

Interesting only 3 Force players. Nathan Charles injured, Badger unavailable, and a couple on the fringe. Highlights that they went well as a team this year although they seem to have a couple more foreign players than others. I am pretty excited about the quality of the uncapped players, it...

I am now assuming we all really mean to be posting on the EOYT thread. If the Moderators keep the thread open any longer it is a low point of cynicism and death riding for GGR.
