To spell it out only you with your bent and blinded Brumbies galsses could think that Hawera is even close to the three 10s I named. Obviously because the Brumbies have the best PD in the conference he must be the best, what was today's result 3 tries to nil, but we kicked plenty of goals.

Not really, Larkham has pretty much no experience as a head coach (yet is somehow already anointed as the next Wallabies HC) and I never bought into the whole Larkham is wonderful at 10 rubbish, he was perfect for the constant recycle shuffle the ball game Macqueen played is all.

Why if you look at both sides, there isn't one accused, and it is no different and certainly better than getting presentations and meetings with coaches and captains before the games. In fact I would argue such reviews and critiquing of other referees performances in games is a perfect way to...

For mine the Brumbies approach to the game was displayed at the end of the first half, kick for the corner and just EXPECT to take the lineout and drive it over, as soon as it didn't go to plan they had no idea what to do and even when it was obvious the ball was about to be locked up there was...

Only if your Slim. QC (Quade Cooper) has played well when he has been semi fit, though as always judging on his 2011 form gives one overly high expectations when none of the players around him are anywhere near 2011 form/skill. Foley has also been Foley, kicking the goals and generally playing a pretty...

Deegan and Mack were both pretty good for the Wicks and Beasties respectively on Saturday in what was a far better match to watch.

I watched the game and having a look at the thread this evening I should not be surprised that even with the looming death of professional rugby in Australia we cannot get over the shitty one-eye parochialism. SO many posts being hyper critical of the referee. Lets just have a look at some...

100% Phipps has regressed back to his worst. IMO he is lucky to be on the bench. Even his defence and work rate are significantly down, which is not surprising when you consider the defensive success rate of the whole side.

Does anybody really think with the state of Super Rugby that the competition will exist to sign another deal, and that it will be anywhere near what this one is? In automotive terms the media outlets bought a Porsche but when they took delivery it was a 944, had all the badges but it wasn't a...

Actually it was the Newman Government's own incompetence but don't let that interfere with the Jones rant. And no I do not like Jones, he annoys the crap out of me. What he said on Folau is what a large number have been saying for a long time. I will stand corrected about thinking a move to...

Needed some levity but then I was thinking how many of these are applicable to the ARU.

Kepu.

They shouldn't have a vote then, just the same as the Union doesn't have a board room vote in a Corporation but they certainly have a consultancy role.

Ok if we accept what you say they are little more than a parasite and do not have the health and well being of the game at the forefront of their mind/s. In such case they have no business having a vote in the management of the game and should be relegated to nothing more than a focus/lobby...

I do not actually. Being a bully and getting your way is much different to negotiating a sustainable deal that enhances long term relationships. After JON MK1 the NZRU was humiliated personally, even though they set that ground themselves, JONs negotiating skills got the ARU a shit load of...

We need a full revolutionary takeover. Perhaps a fanbase buyout of the media deal to start. Honestly I don't think much of RUPA as they have been in the tent the whole time this farce has been building from before the days of Flowers et al. All they wanted was more cash for the "elite"...

I agree with the sentiment but this failure has been far longer in the making than PUlver and Co. They are just the latest in the line of insular appointees to the ARU that have been complicit in the failure of Australian Rugby. The fact is since Professionalism the system in Australia has...

Yes nothing to see there, Suppression orders, non-disclosure clauses on a Corporate investigation called by a CEO because he was bound to by Corporations Law on finding "irregularities". Such report was then referred to Police which indicates serious concerns regarding breach of Criminal Law...

How could they review the finances as some reports and documents are covered by Supreme Court Suppression Orders? Or did they only look at the finances since the payout of the last CEO that shows, Zero tangible assets, zero debt currently, a massive forward payment on a depreciating asset...

I think you are forgetting a chief rule in management and legal fights - "If it isn't written down, it never happened." The Rebels and Force have what seem to be ironclad contracts/agreements. Do the Brumbies? Please do not consider that this is an attack on the Brumbies, I voted on the poll...
