Ditch the Giteau law and bring in the Skelton law. Overseas Wallabies capped at two. For my money, Skelton and either Fardy, TPN or Nic White.

You can take the boy out of Perth, but you can't... stop him saying a year or two later, "Why the fuck did my parents choose to live in Perth?".

Except that Hardy is a WA boy. :)

Phil Waugh is the token minority. He represents the Wildling community.

That's Romeo and Juliet stuff right there.

Interesting. You don't think this applies to you too? You are judging me (I am worse than he is) by your value system, aren't you? We all judge everything against our own value system. Some people express those and some don't. I don't have a problem with Folau judging others. I have a problem...

Absolutely. Technically quite correct. It is possible that there are circumstances that make these two instances quite different, but none that have been reported on. People have criticised Folau's honour (i.e. that he is a liar/disingenuous) because of the inconsistency between the two...

We'll have to agree to disagree. Where do you draw the line between when a team mate can publicly say something is appropriate and when it is not? Would it have been acceptable if a public statement was made by the ABs captain when Aaron Smith had an affair in the airport disabled toilets? For...

Funny you say that, Honey Badger, because I think standing up and telling someone when you think their behaviour is inappropriate is the opposite of a low, dog act. There is an argument to be made that standing up could occur outside of the media. There is also an argument to be made that saying...

Epic win. Rare NZ held scoreless.

Yeah. Could turn into a bloodbath. The Rebels will be hoping that the Hurricanes mentally check out at half time.

It's an interesting one. I don't know enough about the law in these areas, but I wonder if a social media clause is really necessary. Personally, I think that RA was pretty clear that posts about people going to hell is not considered acceptable and would not be tolerated. He knew that when he...

Clutching at straws.....

How individuals feel is subjective and you can't keep everyone happy, but you can't convince me that you can't reasonably predict that telling a population of over 100,000 people that they are inherently wrong and will go to hell (now I'm paraphrasing: unless they pray the gay away). Also, don't...

But homosexual people feel dehumanised. You can't say this groups beliefs offend this groups and vice versa so noone should feel offended and its all open season for a public spat. Be mature, be respectful and keep inflammatory opinions outside public discussion. If you feel the need to discuss...

Would it not be better then to keep the dehumanising out of the public sphere?

People make a big deal of the right to freedom of speech. Here is an interesting point- in the US, at least, you are not protected legally under freedom of speech for shouting "Fire, fire" when there is no fire. I would assume the same is true for "They've got a bomb". The premise I suppose is...

It's a great point. Where do we draw the line? Alcohol could be out. Maccas used to sponsor the Force (and probably other teams). Banks are just as crooked as betting agencies. I don't think RA is trying to be a moral compass. They clearly stated an expectation of what is appropriate and what...

Cameron Clyne might not like Izzy's comments. He technically fits in the adulterer category since he's married but he's also completely fucked Australian Rugby....

Is it just me, or does that goat look like Yoda?
