    Player movements for Shute Shield 2014

    has anyone considered a point system for the shute shield whereby if a player changes clubs, comes from another state/ country they are assigned points and clubs are only allowed a certain amount of points per team or are penalised for having over X points in their starting team? its something...

    Waratahs 2014

    actually id say the opposite is true far too often players are brought through to early, thrown to the wolves- have their confidence crushed and they never develop properly i think theres a lot to be said about players like hussey in the cricket who come into national teams after years...

    Brumbies 2014

    mate every year the rebels and force are supost to be building into something special... i dont wanna crush anyones dreams here but they will be push overs- they will be bottom of the table and they will lose to every sa and kiwi team along the way, save for one game a season where the oposition...

    James Horwill stripped of captaincy

    wasnt looking for reasons to bag him jus throwing it out there -you'll note i never questioned his leadership at the reds- if he stomps on someones head playing s15 the whole world doesnt see, when he does it playing for the wallabies its a national embarrassment- but thats another matter. its...

    James Horwill stripped of captaincy

    i know everyones very quick to blame deans for the wallabies woes the last few years but horwill has been the captain since 2011, apart from the 2011 trinations (where it could be argued sa and nz didnt take it seriously) the team has gone backwards> i wonder if part of this could be blamed on...

    James Horwill stripped of captaincy

    horwill is a hot head, hes got a history of stomping which indicates he doesnt keep his cool- and this is not the behaviour expected of the wallabies captain his decision making is clouded by his inability to control his emotions ill also ad that hes been the captain of some of our worst...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    thats not what went live during the live broadcast during stirlos interview they showed shots of the lions players and crowd- on youtube the interview is uninterrupted going to require someone who has the live recording from channel 10 to confirm this one~

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    just to confirm> you have seen the footage of channel 10 during horwills speech that was live? please correct me as to what the lions players were laughing at It is entirely likely I saw it wrong and live in hope someone can tell me Im mistaken. but it didnt look good and i wasnt alone while...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    what a stupid comment read my posts and you will see I have made a rational argument and given good reasoning for my claim Im yet to see any logical reason to suggest im wrong- if anything the claims supporting horwills emotions lend weight to what ive said I agree that theres not many better...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    He got off sure, but I challenge any man who's seen Horwill stomp Dan Palmer v the brumbies a couple of months ago and saw this incident to convince me these are two unfortunate accidents- Do not forget that Horwill has a history of being a hothead (which train without a station has so kindly...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    im not doubting horwills ability to go for a try when given a penalty i assure you... its his inability to consider anything else where i find fault. think about it for a second- when people suggest hes made a good captaincy decision, has it been for anything other than going for a try? now...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    to be honest mate- if his stomping is more calculated than emotional that makes him far less worthy of the wallaby captaincy that makes him a thug and a thug has no place in the wallaby team in my opinion, let alone being the captain if he stays captain, in the rest of the worlds eyes we are...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    one of the issues i have is that while sticking to a game plan horwill doesnt have the clarity or nous to make emotionless tough decisions on the run, which is what you need a leader to do i think even gatland said when horwill showed his emotions after the 2nd test the lions knew that the...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    i agree that pocock might not be the best option, but what i can see is what our opponents see- and i see is a captain unable to control his emotions, this to me is a glaring weakness

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    i cant help but feel mckenzie will pick horwill to captain the wallabies but i dont feel he is up to it i dont like his decision making and feel its often clouded by his emotions pococks injury is horrible timing as i feel he is the man for the job, failing that genia is first choice

    Australia v British & Irish Lions, 3rd Test (Sydney)

    its our problem because for over a decade we've has props who cant hold up a scrum- we are perceived as weak and the reality is when our scrum is under pressure from the start it only reaffirms this> there is no point in complaining that we were stronger at later scrums because the truth is, we...

    Australia v British & Irish Lions, 3rd Test (Sydney)

    of course corbisero hinged and of course he went straight down what did u expect? our scrum wasnt strong enough to overcome this- this makes it our fault and more importantly, our problem

    Where did we go wrong?

    totally agree he would have performed better, but there was no way he could have been allowed to play 10 was one of the standout issues without a doubt

    Where did we go wrong?

    I do not think horwill should be captain A leader must have a clear head when making decisions and I dont feel he is able to control his emotions to a satisfactory level. His track record of stomping (3rd minute 1st lions test and on palmer vs brumbies 2013) is unacceptable for the wallabies...
