Do they have a soloist to sing the song? I can only see one bloke with his mouth open. .

I am indeed pleased, lily, that you find so much mirth in me staying loyal to a club that is renowned throughout the land for its treachery. Each year a small horde of Uni players go knocking on the doors of all the other Sydney clubs, pleading to be let in because they can no longer cope with...

Let's have a look at the free ride that people are implying James Dargaville got in being selected in the Australian Under 20s. Since coming to Sydney Uni James has trained literally 12 months of the year. We are now well into the playing season and his gym training involves: Monday 6:30am...

I don't think that Sir Arthur is the first one to use the Rugby Discussion section to comment extensively on schoolboy rugby. Your memory is probably better than mine, PB, so you may be able to help me here. Can you recall the name of one of our most prolific posters who seems absolutely...

I concur, rt. Already you can see dividends from giving Link time to ruminate and cogitate: "There is a confidence returning to the Reds that you can sense is giving us more optimism." Confidence can do that to you. But how many people have ever consciously perceived the causative link...

I think you might agree, RH, that this demonstrates a very prudent and wise approach on the part of JO'N and his princelings. Some of the legendary leaders of business have adhered to the mantra, "I wouldn't ask any man to do something I couldn't do myself." Consistent with this it would be...

I've been saying for years that what rugby lacks is people with a capacity for lateral thinking. Well done, MT. .

Curiouser and curiouser. The Sunday Mail article only serves to deepen further the mystery of why the Graham appointment had to be announced mid-season when both clubs involved were struggling to put a team on the park. QRU CEO Jim Carmichael explained the underlying reason for the restructure...

I think you are right about his attachment to Sydney and the Waratahs, Jnor, but he hasn't been recontracted yet so far as I know. Consequently he could be worth an approach. .

Like those who rush to announce the first koel of spring in a letter to the editor, RedsHappy has had the honour of announcing the first Robbie-ism of autumn. Congratulations and well-spotted. From this point on we'll struggle to keep up with his oracular outpourings.I'm still pondering what...

There are other examples of how "rough play" can have "long-term effects" on the cognitive capability of footballers. Consider this brain-teasing example of abstruse logical inference from the man who may well have inspired Matt Burke to become a rugby philosopher, David Campese, writing in The...

I was assuming, as I thought you were, that Foley would be picking Hangers at 10, fp.

I would like to see a Carter-Barnes centre pairing. It could be a revelation.

I wonder how many single males have picked up on that as a commitment avoidance strategy. .

My views on Berrick became more definite after I watched him at 12 in Rounds 3 and 4 against the Highlanders and Force, respectively. In both games the Waratahs' backs lacked structure in both defensive and attacking alignments. That convinced me he is not an organiser but more an instinctive...

Each to his own, tranquil. I personally have no idea how amenable Ant would be to such an arrangement. .

Who, Jnor? I thought a slap on the wrist for not paying attention was justified but I don't know about banishment. In any case I don't know how much use he would be to the Force. .

Sounds like the beginnings of a renaissance for a proud club, TC.

Try to keep up, Jnor.

Obviously these are two players at very different stages of their careers. I have watched Foley since he joined Sydney Uni where he spent IIRR three years in Colts learning his craft. I'm a bit old school but I regard him as having a fairly complete kit of tools for the classic five-eighth's...
