And still they persist with Martin... These blokes don't do this for Free - they command a Salary, and normally an employer expects some quality. If you Look at the comments here (on a forum for interested Rugby People) Not One of them seems to believe that this fellow is any good... Why...

.. But I still don't understand how Martin survives.

A pretty Fair summation.

I agree in regards to the multiple commentators issue - IF - commentators actually have something to ad, or can generate some interesting conversation... You would not have had much Cricket Commentary in the US, however, when Richie Benaud, Ian Chappell, Freddie Truman and several others,were...

You make a very good point... Given the fact that the game is attempting to appeal to a wider and wider audience, it comes as a shock to realise how parochial the commetary set-up is... why have Saffers on SA games and Kiwis on NZ games etc - when common sense would suggest that the teams should...

It is easy to criticise, in life 'but'... Firstly, I must take some exception to the description of Martin as a "Great" Wallaby - I think that falls ito the realm of unreasonable exaggeration. Its just not accurate. He is a "Former" Wallaby... Secondly - (and I ask the question seriously); Can...

Imagine looking like that - and realising one day that you were No Good At Rugby! Bugger....

Good Luck to Parramatta Rugby in 2013... The Greatest Rugby Club in the History of the Planet, and for no apparent reason other than.. it is.

You are probably 100 per cent right... It's consistent with my recollection of that time - But I would accept a Test Jersey under those circumstances without one second of Shame, if it were offered... (and I would gladly have moved from Lock to the Wing in order to get it)! I do get your point...

No contradiction. I asked 'what has happened to him' - I know he was out with injury for a large slab of last year, but have not seen or heard of him this year since ( i think it was) the first Reds trial... In my opinion he had alot of potential, at the time of his first Test (and there were...

Probably quite right - and I know that I bought-in, but I must say, when I was a kid, there were two types of players... magic players with silky skills, like Poido, Ella, Hawker, Slack, Moon... and there were other players you just chose not to have an opinion on... (Put simply - They had a...

This is what really annoys me about Rugby followers in the professional era... smug comments like the above, which pass for informed opinion, when the Queensland Reds, Ewa nMcEnzie, Robbie Deans and the other Wallaby Selectors have all seen fit to put him in both Reds - and Wallaby Colours...

What has happened to Rod Davies - I know he is back from Injury - but cannot even get a seat on the Bench? For my money he was the equal best Winger in Australian Rugby the Year he played his solitary test... He is too good not to be playing Wing for one of the Five Australian Teams.

Apologies if this has already been covered but - was watching the Hong Kong7s... What in the Name of All that Is Good and Evil are we wearing?????????????? Has anyone from the ARU come forward and taken responsibility for this insult of an Outfit? It really is seriously time for the Rugby...

Interesting but.... why NO Year 12?

Thankyou - I don't want to re-start a discussion that clearly is now in the past, however 2 things caught my attention... 1. 'An attempt to move to the Hills'... 2. How did we become Owned by Parra Leagues? - I could be wrong, but I don't hink this was the case in the 80's.. back then the club...

Just back in Sydney from several years overseas - and alot to catch-up on.... Parramatta Club House is Gone!? and the Team seems to be steadily climbing out of a crater - nice to see the Club being able to fall back on its History and Tradition in times of real crisis... It will take me some...
