There can be no team better prepared for handling a bar of soap than the reds (assuming they actually train with a ball during the preseason).

IF Larkham's main trait is the "structured attack" type crap, then there is no way in hell people can attribute any of his failing to Cheika. If there's one thing that's clearly evident (other than Nathan Grey's shambolic defensive system) it's the repeated attempt at overly elaborate and...

I think you have made a pretty big error in your post......... I have highlighted it for you. That statement assumes the QRU management learn from past experiences and there's no empirical evidence to suggest that is likely :P

There's a lot of passes (short and long) both ways in that video......... No place for that kind of rubbish in australian rugby, thank you very much. It's right to left only, or GTFO!!!!

Who's this company called "Hapless" and when did they become the naming rights sponsor for the Reds? I swear it's in every news article I seem to read for the last 6 months.

The conference system is poo. Round robin the best and only way. But it needs to be an odd number of teams so that you have an even number of home and away games. It is *not* fair and equal if some teams have 6 home games while others have 7.

Anyone who has been to a game where Hunt plays knows he is a very big talker and director of others on the field. He clearly benefits from having an instinct for football (both codes) and will be a benefit to the tahs. I don't profess to know much about Heggarty at all, so have no idea if...

Well, this thread took a sudden turn in an unexpected direction

That's great news for him. Staying at the reds is a career killer for him.

Thats the key. The product is not worth much and that's why the networks don't offer much. If it were something of value, the networks would offer more and it would be on fta now. How can a fta broadcaster use it? What's the regular timeslot they can use? There isn't a guaranteed game on...

You seriously think that commercial network stations don't investigate the option of broadcasting super rugby? You think they don't realise that broadcasting it might also increase the interest in it? They're not commercially naive. They've run the numbers and it doesn't work out and that's...

If there was enough interest in it, then the commercial networks would be broadcasting it. Thats how it works.

No. Sorry, I was responding to the post above yours.

There's been a weekly YouTube for club rugby for ages... Pretty sure it started in 2010 (or possibly earlier, it's so long ago) with their "premier rugby wrap" which featured all the results, select highlights from match of the round and the upcoming week's games (and ladder context). But yeah...

Brad Thorn should most DEFINITELY be standing in the way. As should every one of the other super rugby coaches. The super rugby matches are still the premier competition for the aus/nz/saf/arg players outside of test matches. Play your best players in and against the best competition.

Having Clyne actually do something is worse. Ask anyone from the banking sector.

That's a small number of his listeners, because that's a small number of people. Most of the people who tune in are the morons tuning in to get outraged and to take offense on behalf of other people who don't give a shit. For the logical and sound of mind, Alan Jones'radio show is an...

I think that Alan Jones' appointment as coach might suck for some. The dropped phone call with Jake White is just plain weird. I really can't fathom how it's taking place was dependent on it remaining out of the broader public's awareness. Anyhoo, I doubt RA will drop Cheika anyway, there is...

When the australian players play overseas their skills are quite decent. When they play here, they seemingly can't execute the simplest of skills like catching or passing left to right. I find it impossible to believe that the coaches in Australia are not trying to train these skills here...

Not vague - I gave specific examples.
