Moody to be a 100 test AB and that performance. ACR the NZ sides have a long and proud history of elevating outright scum to national hero level. Meads, Bunce, Loe... and others. Thing is they were all brilliant players as well, just shit bags with a malicious streak in them.

That's Ok the immense leadership of Michael Hooper will deal with it as he did with Beale's indiscretions.

In 6 years as a professional rugby player getting paid obscene amounts of money Folau is no better today than he was when he first ran on. He remains unable to execute kicks with any certainty or safe (to team purposes) technique (a fundamental core skill for a Fullback - stick to netball Mrs...

Beale World Player of the year FFS, defence optional (if improved of an extremely low base) unreliable/inconsistent passing, kicking and decision making. Giteau - well he was brilliant at times, so was James O'Connor, Quade and any number of other players. Pocock is no in the same company as...

The best way to control criticism sometimes (most of the time) is by having the critic inside the tent and through "cognitive capture" remove/change their perception of the problem. Maybe inside the tent and contracted he had no real option but to stay silent. I don't know, just thinking out...

I don't think I ever trained (when I did so outside the pub) during the day. We then played during the day. I don't accept all these excuses from the Foxsports cheer squad. These blokes are obscenely paid professionals who cannot execute basic skills. Like the neat excuse for Beale on his...

BR sensible ideas such as playing people in position have no place in Australian Rugby.

BR the ability to pass is needed and few Australian players seem to be able to do it. Maybe if we paid them more, that seems to be the way.......

That's novel and far too left field to be spoken about in Australia. You are a f%$#%ing radical.

The "throwing money at " and picking emerging future stars is a closed path as I have said. We get players like Beale, self entitled twats who misbehave and is not as good as the hype and still after all these years has not worked sufficiently on his defence or the other lacking aspects of his...

That would require management decisions and we know that they have no influence on where rugby currently finds itself. I wonder if players like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) learnt to pass or improve their individual skill deficiencies in the NH, away from the Australian Rugby system where management has no impact of...

I don't know if you have been following some of the discussions on other threads or a few rants on other forums about structure, building pressure, going through the phases etc. Basically Australian players have been coached from a young age since 1998 onwards that phase play and structure is...

:D

What I have been saying about Australian Pro players having very poor base skills in depth apart from a few natural talents such as Folau's aerial skills is now being said by current coaches. I expect Friend will never get another gig in AUstralia while RA remains in place, he has broken from...

If both sides of Politics were not complicit in this I'd give her some kudos. They are part of the culture, just look how many have nice cushy jobs lined up when they resign from parliament for "family" reasons such as Mr Mike Baird. As Dick Smith said earlier this week, in times past the...

So next week, I wonder what odds I can get for a Crusaders win by 30. Probably wont take the bet.

Well there you go. Let the numpties on Fox talk it up as they will, this was the worst NZ team, the worst for some years in fact, against the best Australian side at home and its still a loss, brought about by fundamentally poor skills. That will be a big zero for Australian Super wins against...

no he didn't but when receiving shit under pressure it is exceptional to be able to clean it up and Australia hasn't had an exceptional player at 10 with their hands since Lynagh.

So many people still do not see it. This is not just the ARU culture, it is the Executive and Board culture in Australia. Morally and fundamentally corrupt. These scum bags are in it for themselves monetarily and in terms of self aggrandisement. Just look at the banks, even after AMP gets...

Unpopular opinion time - Folau the ultimate one trick pony. People will remember his aerial skills from this game, which are world's best. But for a bloke who has played pro rugby for 6+ years he cannot pass a ball for shit. He is not even at amateur level with passing and the first Blues try is...
