    Waratahs 2017

    I actually agree with the reported view of Gibson that he doesn't like EPS contracts. I have always been of the view that they don't work. Peterson is the best example, and do nothing by make a financial imperative for the EPS squad to make the cut. Better to just have everyone in Shute and...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Like I said, better than others no doubt, it is not and was not my point. I'm many things, but I am utterly predictable when it comes to ethics, the good does not erase the bad. (Fuck I'm Stannis Baratheon)

    The Wallabies Thread

    Kerevi will fill a defensive role in Grey's pattern perfectly.

    So Twiggy might spend some of the Tax money he has avoided paying by offshoring sales to Singapore. Such a great bloke. Better than others no doubt, especially when he supports rugby but ......

    Waratahs 2018

    Oh the holier than thou protestation against "fair weather fans". Your shit don't stink. Mate I haven't been a member ever, simply because I don't live anywhere near getting to a game and when I did in the mid to late 90s I worked weekend night shifts every week. But I have been a supporter...

    He has a company doing this important work and as such can make money from it. Being in the commentary team with board member John Eales and Brumby connections to other ARU members and coaches has equipped him with all the necessary credentials, that being the right connections and the map of...

    The Wallabies Thread

    Can't agree, Foley maybe, the others nope. 50-60 against the ABs with Grey as Defence coach. Possibly the same against the Springboks. Zero wins in the RC this year.

    Waratahs 2017

    Another 40 points. Defence is easy fixed Grey boy. Toddle off now to complete destroying the Wallabies now, don't worry the ARU will pay you on their performance plan, that is lots for doing really really bad. As for the Tahs, not one of them deserves to get paid. Unprofessional, unprepared...

    Force Vs Waratahs, Round 17 - Saturday 15th July, NIB Stadium

    There can be no excuses. 40+ in 5 games running now isn't it.? To me it seems the guaranteed Wallabies players and those in the squad just go through the motions and turn up for their pay and avoid getting injured. Players like Folau, Hooper, Mumm, Hanigan, Kepu, Robertson........ Add to...

    Waratahs 2017

    Considering defence has been perhaps the most glaring failure this season I would put Grey right at the top of the list for "review" but he has already been promoted on the back of stellar performance. I have argued that the Tahs have been flawed since 2015 when Douglas and Jackpot left and...

    Highlanders v Reds, Round 17, July 14. Party at Tony Brown's.

    I don't excuse it, just trying to understand where it is coming from, because when those same players are on the front foot with a functional team those things are not issues. Cooper was lucky tonight with the high tackles, and the shoulder charge in goal in stopping the try. Not excusing it...

    Highlanders v Reds, Round 17, July 14. Party at Tony Brown's.

    I agree with everything except the bolded bit. When you have been given no tools but have the ability to be so much better than what is getting shown week in week out, you either give up (which nobody who gets to this level is likely to be guilty of) or you get frustrated and that shows up in a...

    Highlanders v Reds, Round 17, July 14. Party at Tony Brown's.

    Poor technique and fundamentally bad set up. Also the plays are so telegraphed because there is generally only one kicker in each side even when there are more that can actually execute the skill. All Australian Coaches are woeful in this fundamental aspect of the game, designing set plays...

    Half - this is what many of us have been saying for years, and why a lot of us have always called for the State Unions to be disbanded along with the ARU. WHilst I have long been a strident critic of the ARU, I have never thought they were solely to blame. The NSWRU ad the QRU (and RUPA) have...

    I don't think even Gordon has enough expletives to deal with the ARU.

    Time to cull the NRC?

    These results are greatly skewed by the significant blow out games. Any discussion of statistics like this needs to be presented with the average and standard deviation. What players has the NRC produced? Have they executed their skills at the required level? Were those identified already...

    Time to cull the NRC?

    1. What a crock. The biggest scorers and standouts were blokes like Simone, ah but he'd already been identified....... 2. How many have played full seasons at Premier level, without being dragged away on EPS duty or U20s etc. As for killing it, yeah right.

    Classic Wallabies out to make a difference.

    The TAhs players should be banned from visiting any junior sides/clubs. There may be young talented players there and we don't want them exposed to the dross that is the Tahs.

    They still own Concord Oval send play the Tahs games there I'm sure the Pirates will put on a great BBQ that will out do the SFS catering.
