    Super Rugby Trophy

    I don't mind tha actual trophy, but the individual cups all the players received weren't good. They looked like someone went down to the local trophy shop Sat morning & had them engraved. Bloody awful. BUT: Beer did, in fact, taste better out of them than out of any other vessel Although some...

    Super Rugby Trophy

    Where do you pour the beer into? What point is there in having a rugby trophy you can't drink from? At 18kg and made from stainless steel it should be able to withstand even the most rambunctious of celebrations though.

    QLD Premier Rugby 2011

    Uni could also get Morahan (Simon) from 20s, Herman Porter from Samoa (unless selected for Samoa in WC)

    QLD Premier Rugby 2011

    Has Logan moved to the new location that's been discussed for a few years now? I'd also like to see them in Premier rugby sooner rather than later and from what I've heard in passing, the new home ground could be a major boost.

    Burke strikes back

    I now dream of the day I find a copy of The Power of More or Less Positive Thinking written by M.Burke (with foreword by B.Ross) at my bookstore. Gold.

    Baabaas Squad v. England

    He has no change of pace, no ability to change direction, he's shown little to no awareness of running lines... He played alongside rugby league's best halfback at the Bulldogs and the Cowboys. He got by as a strong runner at the Bulldogs (although certainly not a noted ball-player), he...

    Repeated Trauma Encephalopathy

    I'm not arguing for mandatory time off, I'm arguing for mandatory assessment by someone qualified & appropriately trained to assess the injury. In my experience and from my observations mandatory time off just makes people try to get around the system somehow. Rather than getting stuck in on...

    Repeated Trauma Encephalopathy

    There are 3 aspects to this debate that particularly interested me (although I'm so any of these issues are being discussed in a knowledgeable forum) 1. The research that was quoted in the program stated that even in the absence of a concussive event neuropathologies were being seen as a...

    Phil 'Hypocrite' Waugh

    I too read this and thought "Get your hand off it Phil". Quite simply, if that was the only game of the year the Tahs failed to, as he puts it, grow the game, then I don't imagine it would've been much of a problem. As much as I love a high quality, fast, open and skilful game of rugby, the only...

    Reds 2011

    Yeah, I did the same after writing that. Stumped as to where the 10 they were mentioning come from, but either way, it looks like they'll have a cracking side capable of a pretty impressive performance.

    Reds 2011

    If they're talking Academy contract players also they would go close? I think many of them were out after the dinner and may not have been speaking clearly, let alone differentiating between Academy and full Reds contract... ?Matt Lucas After that I'm out of ideas, but that gets us up to 8.

    IRB U/20 Tournament and Oz Squad

    Kuridrani is a massive unit a winger who stands at 196cm and 100+kg and is still growing. He's been playing premier grade for the past few years, but didn't come through any recognised development systems that I'm aware of. He has huge potential and will respond well to top-level coaching.

    IRB U/20 Tournament and Oz Squad

    I'm not sure people are merely nominating players from their own backyard. RatherI think people may only be commenting on those they have good knowledge of. Often that knowledge comes from seeing these people play first-hand, usually in their local area?

    Reds vs Blues, Suncorp Stadium, 2011R13

    It'd be nice if Chambers actually PLAYED club rugby!

    Input needed: Rugby Caricatures

    Also: the boys just played the full 80, hung on and dug deep. Full credit to the boys

    Reds vs Rebels - 2011R05

    I've been very reliably informed that he needs 5 games, not the 4 of past years (thanks to the extra team), so hopefully Link will pick him next week too!

    Brumbies vs Reds, week 3 2011

    I think most of them are in honour of his brother who was killed last year (?).

    Brumbies vs Reds, week 3 2011

    Bit of trivia: he played prop alongside James Hanson in Colts (also at Aus u19)
