and that is different how to what we have now. Oh that's right the administrators and select players are reaping rewards far exceeding what they actually deserve. The fact is if Australian Pro Rugby is a business, and it is, it has losts its customer base and is nothing more than a parasite...

One more thing, if anybody ever wants to know what happens when the greatest myth in Australian Rugby plays at 10 they should be made to watch what happened when Foley was in the head bin for 10. Could've given Giteau crabbing lessons and shown AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) there is a worse passer of the ball right to...

If there was ever a game that sums up the state of the Australian Pro game this was it. The total lack of anything approaching what could reasonably be expected of a Professional level of basic skill execution. Then we have Hooper giving answers like a banker before a Royal Commissioner saying...

Don't bother with replacing coaches. Lets save the money and can the whole lot of these useless F^%$#ks. Do away with Pro rugby altogether, dump the parasites and leaches sucking on the corporate dollar from the pro game and whatever little is left with no pro rugby dollars can then flow...

excuses. We all have choices and some choose to support and facilitate the unethical.

enablers. Read the article without counsel's smoke and mirrors the dirty deals could not have been done.

Ethics are not an optional extra in life. If Cameron Clyne, Pulver, and the entire ARU board came to me with $1M (or any amount) cash for any business arrangement I would seriously regard it to be stolen or otherwise unlawfully obtained. They are without standing, the entire edifice of...

Well that has been pretty much the case since they established their self proclaimed "dynasty" at the end of a marvellous 2011 season, so he would have had to cease posting since then for this to not seem the case. May as well say the same thing for me about the Tahs every year excepting 2014.

I agree but the whole edifice of Australian Rugby has no ethical standing and makes decisions on the whims of the coaches with regard to issues like this. If they select him I doubt they will make the requisite changes to balance the side, same as when Skelton was selected, or last year's...

Funny how people forget that Lomu had massive issues with turning and chasing the ABs made sure that the 15 was in position to sweep and the counter was very effective because teams often expected to get more pay from the tactic than they did. However given the demonstrated skills of the...

At no point other than total collapse will the management of rugby hit a reset button that will effectively end their prime position at the cash trough. That should have been made clear over the last twenty years but especially reinforced since JON MKII ensured he was paid out despite the...

DO you really accept that the fundamental talent of the Australian playing rugby is less than that of the NZ player? The problem since 1996 IMO is the system for player development has been broken and it was as the retirement of the golden generation of players that transitioned from Amateur...

Unfortunately, arrogant or not it has proved true in previous years and whilst the jury is still deliberating a bit as some of the SA teams for 2018 have improved greatly (Lions and Sharks) the first example of an Australian side V NZ has done nothing to dispel the notion.

Just as the French have begun to realise with so many top line positions in their premier competitions taken by OS players and they are now trying to limit the number. I've never been a fan of the "Giteau rule", play here or don't the only except I could possible make is play in the Super Comp...

There are a couple of significant injuries and some retirements, but the Australian teams have not improved that much, the Tahs and the Reds are better at what they are doing, but their skill accuracy & execution in consistency remains the Achilles Heel.

Sunwolves offloading game was very good and looks very similar to the Hurricanes. What they do not have is any form of defence. After this weekend's efforts I cannot see any Australian team beating any NZ side for the third year running.

Correct in terms of Higgers, incorrect in terms of Pocock who did not retire and enter through the gate before putting hands on the ball.

There is no freedom from criticism regardless of the % that hold the contrarian view. However not very much of the "debate" if it can be called that is designed to criticise Folau or debate his views, it is designed solely to prevent him being able to express those views as allowed under law...

I expect Joyce to use his position to promote the best interests of the business he runs within the social norms and responsibilities of the society he operates in. His personal opinions are just that unless they add value to the company and allow it to operate in a manner that maintains its...

The biggest problem with "freedom" is that people expect to be free. Even the C&^%$ts. Now it is my strongly held opinion that the Profession of Law is populated by people with a warped sense of ethics that are alien to most reasonable people and career Politicians are absolute parasites who I...
