Easts were the unfortunate victim of the Club incurring too many reportable offences this year with the result that all of their grades were deducted four points. It's a somewhat harsh system but is designed to stamp out foul play. I was at Forshaw yesterday and virtually within touching...

As you suggest this seems very disappointing, Tahboy. I hope it doesn't destroy the Club's momentum. Changing coaches wholesale seems a very risky strategy. .

Most of the comments above on the Growden article seem to be focussed on ridiculing the messenger. But what strikes me as very significant about it is the specificity of what he is alleging and in particular the naming of the members of the so-called "Waratahs dream team". It seems highly...

I have considerable sympathy with the Gordon Club over this matter. It now appears that the link mentioned has been disabled but for a considerable period of time today a large number of comments relating to the apology were posted. Among them was one purporting to have been written by Tommy...

With respect, Craig, I think that it is in the interests of both Souths and the Illawarra for the best prospects from the steel city to be cherry picked and brought into the Sydney Premiership competition. I have had strong roots in the Illawarra (with both of the connotations that that...

I certainly wouldn't want to bag the private schools as a vital nursery for rugby, wreckless, but I think for too long the code was virtually dominated by boys from GPS or Associated schools. It's good that there is now much more of a balance. It's good news that UWA is enjoying a resurgence. .

You can easily pick the ones Tommy has designed, wj. They're in fluorescent pink. .

Their first choice was Tiny Tim, IS. They wrote to him but it bounced back from the Dead Letter Office. So it looks like they'll run with Milli Vanilli. They're available - and very cheap. .

You're a cunning bugger, wj. You come up with a great suggestion to turn the Waratahs' fortunes around, knowing full well that it's already being implemented. Because I write so many complementary things about Driver Avenue someone very high up who's a bit of a rev head gave me a sneak peak at...

Now there's a frightening thought. .

Point taken, Lindommer. Put it down to lazy thinking. You'd be a bit filthy if you didn't get at least one captaincy appointment. .

I would have thought, Hawko, you would have picked up that I was in mischievous mood. .

Eh? I thought that's what he's been doing these last four years. .

Bugger! Aren't we entitled to even one piece of good news about the Wallabies this year? .

I'm not sure that I get your drift Hawko. Do you mean that as a negative or are you intimating that that would provide us with continuity? .

Does Derryn Hinch know anything about rugby? At least he would give comprehensible pressers. .

You're hopeful, Richo. As a Waratahs supporter you should expect that "we're not going to learn anything for sure until" next year. .

What would be the reverse of a "cock tease", wj?

Wreckless, Charles and Wade do a great job developing the young boys and teaching them the basics. Wade also coached 3rd Colts this season and they have already qualified for the Grand Final. It's a shame that there is such an age gap between Under 17s and Colts but the young blokes seem to...

I don't want to be critical of Michael Cheika but I think a little perspective is necessary. Irish teams have won 5 of the last 7 Heineken Cups. Leinster themselves have won 3 of the last 4, only one of which with Cheika coaching. Since taking charge at Leinster in May 2005 his Heineken Cup...
