It is irritating when posters wander off topic. Richo, this thread is about the Waratahs. Whoever it is you are talking about, please transfer your comment to that thread. .

I wonder if Foles showed the Western Force interview committee that photo above of wj apparently sitting on his lap in order to convince them of his popularity with the 'Tahs fans. .

Are you auditioning for a seat on the Western Force Board, Charger? Or perhaps the Waratahs Board? .

For all I know Michael Foley could well be a competent coach - it's just that we've seen no evidence of it in Sydney. Anyone can lose eight on the trot if they don't get the bounce of the ball or the rub of the green or they're just unlucky. It happens. And those who have been prepared to point...

One might say that was a fairly modest objective but in all probability he was the only one in the 'Tahs leadership group to have actually achieved a KPI. .

This presents an opportunity to turn sadness into joy. For once the 'Tahs can fill the Sydney Football Stadium to overflowing. Just hold Ed Zed's going away party at the SFS and we'll all turn up to see him off. .

What will we do without our Commander-in-Chief? I can see black days ahead. Look for the Waratahs to start losing a string of games in succession. They will also have difficulty signing a new coach. Ground attendances will slump. Does anyone know if the decision is irreversible? Perhaps if we...

I suppose it is inevitable that CEO Vern Reid should come under criticism but the article shows him to be a man not afraid to tell it like it is: Yes, Vern, from everything I read you are one of the changes that everybody clearly wants made. Very brave of you to draw attention to it, for which...

My mail is that Sharpe and Pocock have already had huge inputs into the choice of the incoming coach even to the extent of demanding the right to decide who should be appointed. We have seen how well that worked out. There is no instant fix for the situation that the Force finds itself in, but...

Great to learn via Twitter that Laurie Weeks spent the morning watching West Harbour Juniors where it all began for him; then he's off to watch Uni play Manly. Top bloke who never forgets where he's come from. .

Let Brock's words be our rallying call: And when you're through the other side we're like crowbars through the Opera House window. We get in, loot the joint and get out. .

Beauty. Lindommer's offering to turn on free piss.He'll probably end up bankrupt if the present Board still has their private box.

I think he might have been garbage bagged out. .

Geographically you're closer than some other guesses, PP.

I think that is essentially how the process should work, WCR, for club entry, subject to the need for a selection mechanism if there are too many applicants. But we still need franchise participation, both to provide game time for their own second string players and to provide a mechanism for...

Can I just recap on some of the basic elements of the model I have proposed? The franchises always have on their contracted lists players who are essentially on what can be termed "hit-shield contracts", i.e., their basic role is to provide training opposition for those who make up the 22-man...

It would not appear to present too many difficulties, Bob. The very experienced Premiership Competition Manager Lisa Jane Kinny should be able to deal with the complexities which this year would have only involved Easts, Souths, Randwick and West Harbour having their Colts and Grade teams in...

Against the expectations of many, myself included, the competition structure implemented this year appears to be producing some real benefits. Since the split into two divisions, in First Grade at least we are having closely contested games and good hard rugby each week. However using Club...

Iiwii, unfortunately there is no means for me to double-like your post above. A classic.

I don't quite see the relevance of the Foxtel Cup to what we need for our code, en_force_er. Firstly, as you state, "it's a league ... meant purely for television". Rugby is a very long way off from having any real access to that medium. Secondly, it is a competition for clubs from...
