When a player is earning serious "up yours" money do you think he gives a toss about what the punters think about his hair style? How much extra do you think he'd earn with a short-back-and-sides, TOCC? And for what it's worth I don't think he'll ever be an international 12. But when the...

Aha. Does that mean we should have offered more than the $10K which I presume is what the 'Tahs are paying our top bloke? And there are more than a few who still feel we're not getting value for money. .

The answer to that came when Jason Allen told him: "The only thing I wouldn't do is sell my arse." Hardly original but at least it shows the CEO has an interest in Federal politics. And in cars chasing one another around tracks. I don't know if there is anything else. .

No photo and it didn't happen.

Great moments in rugby commentary "plays in the English Premiership in the UK for Exeter" - Tim Horan, removing any doubt as to which England he is referring to. .

That's a novel idea, wj. Coincidentally it fits in with the title of the thread. .

No, because you haven't mastered dithering. .

Plus he'd probably be a bit fragile to have wj sitting on his lap. .

I know it's a bit cruel to criticise a media department composed, to the best of my knowledge, of an unpaid intern but this effort released yesterday by the Waratahs Media Unit is a gem: "Sydney’s talented young club rugby players have everything to play for this month as the HSBC Waratahs...

"how about we all get behind Balmain and Waz" Why, because he is presumed to have money to throw at it? There have been various proposals previously advanced on this site for a Third Tier competition which were much more logically thought through than this effort which has more holes than a...

It makes me angry when people knock the club I support, and your participation in it does you no credit, barbar. You speak of typical Waratah incompetence as if there was some regularity or predictability in their stuff ups. Not so. I find it endlessly entertaining that there is always something...

Spot Dave Dennis Scoop Growden's "Sunday Maul" is apparently running a "Spot Dave Dennis" competition. The photo below appeared this morning with the caption, "Rare sight ... Dave Dennis poses for a photo with a fan during the Big Braai in Perth last week": I've known Dave Dennis since he...

Thank you for the generosity of your comments, TG. I admit that at times I cringe at the behaviour and comments of some University supporters, particularly when it reflects intolerance and arrogance. .

Usually I refrain from commenting on lies and misinformation such as this but unfortunately people tend to believe what they read if it is left unchallenged. "adding points to your UAI" Presumably what is being referred to is Sydney University's EAPS scheme. Under this scheme elite athletes...

Cynical? Moi? Let’s just focus on one of the absurdities: “Teams would be made up of Super Rugby players not selected for the Wallabies, emerging young players, rugby league converts and international marquees.” There is no way that the Super franchises or the ARU would allow contracted...

I don't want to rain on your parade, TOCC, but I would guess that a contributing factor to Super Rugby's 7% growth would have been the increasing take up of pay TV and consequent increase in the potential viewer base. By contrast Rugby League being universally available on free-to-air would be...

Good God. People are actually taking this nonsense seriously. Below is what I posted in the "Sydney Shake Up" thread in the Club Rugby section: Wow! Rugby’s answer to World Series Cricket has arrived. Sue for peace immediately, John O’Neill, or you’ll soon be road kill. “A KERRY Packer-style...

Wow! Rugby’s answer to World Series Cricket has arrived. Sue for peace immediately, John O’Neill, or you’ll soon be road kill. “A KERRY Packer-style revolution of rugby union is being planned, with Balmain Rugby Club in discussions with Channel Ten and Fox Sports about staging a new...

Thanks, Torn, but I will not be taking a bow. I very clearly don't deserve it. I am a mere enthusiast who goes along to all of Uni Colts' games and enjoys seeing the young blokes from all clubs working to achieve their potential. 23 years ago I coached Uni First Colts back in the days when...

Would they not have emerged if he wasn't around? .
