Pretty good finish to a disrupted season. Reds just aren't there yet. Brumbies clearly a better team atm.

Gee, that's a pretty "fresh" collection. Good to see.

Standing him down during the crisis as he is a contractor is understandable. Not re-engaging him when returning to training is a mistake imho.

Not fit to govern. Any of them.

Dammit, this was gonna be the year where we didn't lose the Bledisloe series.

No, what is good for them is ensuring that they maximise their earning potential for the brief period of time where they are able to. There's plenty of ways they could benefit themselves short term to the longer term detriment of the game. Your subcontracting business on the other hand has...

Yeah, ok. New Zealand is perfect and absolutely nothing toxic ever happens there whatsoever.

Bwhahahahahaha. That's hilarious.

I'd be totally fine with our better players being drafted into their NPC and watching their games instead of what has become of super rugby. The very best will of course be cherry picked off to Europe where the bigger money is. Australian club rugby won't disappear just because Super rugby...

I don't think she had a great tenure for the first wee while, but am genuinely sorry that she has decided to leave in these circumstances. Assembling the coaching team (whomever it was that did the leg work) was done so under her control and influence and that had the looks of something very...

I'll explain how insurance works in these circumstances... It's a payment plan. You pay - just at a way slower rate.

Dunning-Kruger perhaps?

I'd be one of the most critical of her on this website, but I wouldn't go so far as to say she's not leading from the front in setting an example. There is literally no better way of getting someone to agree to eating a shit sandwich than by showing that you are willing to take the first bite...

Mods: you want people not to bring up this stuff again, then you need to ensure that some statements which are completely and clearly incorrect and contrary to the actual sequence of events are removed. It's not debatable - the timeline and the language used was (and still is) quite clear.

Maybe they can't be fucked discussing things with people that are completely and utterly illogical, and whose only way to discuss things is to threaten.

Or they've been warned to shut the fuck up about trying to justify their position and so have decided not to post anything anymore about it.

Why does anyone have to add the statement "but I acknowledge others hold a different opinion"? Why, specifically, is that being mature? Maturity is understanding that others think differently in the first place. Having to state that in order to protect someone's feelings indicates where the...

Be pretty hard to comment on Raelene's tenure without giving reference to the Folau situation and how she handled it. People wading in to criticise that position can only refute using their perspective of the specifics of the case to justify why she did/didn't handle it properly.

^^^ is that really the reason it struggles? Or is it the only reason it still exists? If you listen to the complaints from non rugby fans, they never say "it's fucked that I have to watch representative sides play against foreign teams all the time", or "there's too many test matches". The...

^^^ more importantly, what The honey Badger has found actually doesn't say that "All codes have morphed from Soccer at some level" at all. OK, I'll try. Soccer, AFL, Rugby (both variants) have evolved from a common ancestor but none of them have evolved from Soccer. That's actually what the...
