I think you've discovered a new meaning of the phrase "think ahead", wj. .

Thank you, ab-s, for dragging my name into this discussion. I've noticed it usually only occurs when people are shit-stirring. If I was an official of the Sydney University Football Club - which I'm not; and I thought it was my role in life to police other people's moral behaviour - which I...

A vital rule of combat is to know your enemy. The task of other clubs in knocking Sydney Uni off its perch is made much more difficult if they take at face value the recurrent absurd misrepresentation of its recruitment process. Whether the disinformation arises because of ignorance, stupidity...

I'm enthused. In fact I'm about as obviously enthused as a Gold medal winning oarsman on the pontoon deck. Harbourside City is back in business. We've appointed a club captain which admittedly, as the press release stated, is "an off-field role". As Lao-tsu sagely observed two-and-a-half...

As well as the "knockers [like me] who quickly find reasons for doing nothing" there are those who post suggestions without appearing to have given any thought to the unintended consequences of what they are advocating. .

My mail, Iltw, is that they have diversified into the distribution of nose candy, stress reliever of choice among the A-B socioeconomic grouping. .

There is one extremely worrying issue here that has not yet been addressed. If the franchise responsible is indeed the Waratahs there is the quite baffling mystery of just where they found the $50K or whatever with which to rort the salary cap. I am told that the petty cash tin has nothing but...

Why hasn't someone thought of this before? It would be a wonderful way of strengthening and building the competition - the Subbies competition that is.

I blame Kafe. Has anyone given any thought to the possibility that all of the stuff ups at Driver Avenue could be due to some idiot inviting Kafe inside the tent where he has played an agent provocateur role by making the most absurd suggestions which our local geniuses took at face value...

The Waratahs have got into the extraordinary mess they're in largely because incompetence remained hidden within a cone of silence. Growden is a rumour monger who is used by various people to push their agendas, but in the present situation he has been able to shine light on things that go to...

Having in mind what has been happening at the 'Tahs this season and in particular the interview which Jason Allen gave with Greg Growden yesterday, Iiwii, are you suggesting that what he has been doing merits the description "administrating"? .

Fair point, Moono. On reflection I think even I've been guilty of it. I would appeal to my fellow 'Tahs supporters to back off; cease and desist; it's really none of our business. After all, we don't even know if the contract has been signed yet. If we keep ringing alarm bells they might end...

I think we are talking at cross purposes. I am not surprised that people misinterpret what I mean by "development coach" because it is a term that has virtually no currency in rugby. Let me explain in what way I consider Louden differs from the other coaches mentioned. Almost a decade ago he...

Not only that, rif, but from what is coming through on Twitter it looks like the Force players have been placed in a room and made to Tweet: "I think our new teacher will be the bestest teacher in the whole world." .

Todd Louden. The best development coach in Australian rugby. Outstanding record as an assistant coach in Super Rugby and as a Head Coach in the Sydney Premiership. .

For some years now whenever there’s been speculation about a possible coaching vacancy in Australian rugby, whether at national level or with the franchises, Michael Cheika’s name has been front and centre. In recent days the Western Force begged him to come and now it appears the decks are...

Your faith in the wisdom of those in decision making positions in rugby is quite touching, TBH. It is a nice counterbalance to those of us of a more cynical disposition. .

The way I heard it, p.T, and I don't know if it is fact, was that the main reason for creating a separate board for the Waratahs was the fact that Messers [not a misspelling] Zemancheff and Petersen were reaching the end of their constitutionally permitted terms on the NSWRU Board. With the...

I sincerely hope you are not talking about the Parrot, wj. His forte is inciting race riots and the assassination of the Prime Minister. .

Thanks for the clarification, Braveheart. We Waratahs fans wouldn't want outsiders to get the wrong impression about our organisation. People from the lesser provinces tend to rush off impulsively and do things, but our leaders like to sit and ponder - sit and ponder - sit and ponder...
