    Where to for Super Rugby?

    You want me to sacrifice Pink Floyd's Back Catalogue - perhaps the greatest Album cover of all time. Why not just ask me to become an England supporter instead. I did also state that the decision would be made after the 31/07 and was asking for the odds on some version of what I posted.

    Ah Dismal, you Sir are one of a kind. and I think I might be just a little happy about that as well. I don't think two could exist in the same place at the same time - laws of the universe and all that....

    What odds will I get for the following post 31/07? The ARU and Rugby WA hold a joint press conference. The exact terms and proceedings of the arbitration hearing will remain strictly confidential. The ARU and Rugby WA greatly regret the damage that has been done to Rugby in Australia from...

    British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand (2017)

    Surely even those who have defended him for years have to admit that Gatland is the most one dimensional boring coach that ever graced a Tier 1 country. What a shit awful use of the resources at hand, even Jake White made better use of what he had at hand. The fact is the Lions are just so...

    I love these flexible KPIs. The sort of KPIs bank managers and the assorted parasites who ride their coat tails have, who can send their organisations to the wall and require Public bail outs and nationalisation (and in Australia the Big 4 get Deposit Insurance for free) but they still get...

    BH I have been saying for three years that the NRC is not viable in the medium or long term. You and others wishfully and wilfully refused to see it. It is only recently with the cluster F^%$% of the team reduction that many would even entertain the thought of gross ARU mismanagement. The...

    I agree fully with the entirety of your post Half, except the bolded bit. That part in particular is highly debateable. Do not forget that Coaching pathways were also apparently a massive reason for the NRC. How does that correlate with the massive success of Nick Stiles and Co.

    Looking at recently released statistics Hanigan needs to vastly improve his defence before he can be regarded as solid.

    JON had massive amounts of experience and do you still think he has something valuable to add. Then again a study of what not to do and examination of why and how a system produces consistent failure and lack of development is valuable. So yes, McGahan has a LOT to offer.

    The Wallabies Thread

    Why is it sad? I am glad another player of Islander descent has chosen to play for them, we need strong Pacific Island teams, I often think of the 1 cap players that have played for Australia and others who could have been significant representatives for an Island team. I can see the drive to...

    How will they understand it properly without the invective. It surely will not convey the depth of feeling that they really should understand is against them.

    Can't sayhaving Grey going to the Wallabies full time is inspiring me. I was a big fan of him as a player and thought in 2014-15 he made a massive difference to the Tahs and Wallabies. What has happened. Is it a combination of teams working out the plan and how to beat it with some basic...

    From what I've seen I would have put Mason far ahead of King, and based on the match up against the Wicks, Deegan outplayed them both.

    Reds 2017

    ILTW - I like what Ive seen of Mason (and Deegan). Given how the Tahs have played over the last three seasons not being selected is probably a bigger qualification than actually being chosen. Also I'd rather have him playing Shute and developing than sitting on the bench and getting a couple...

    Rugby and the dismal failure of The Meat Machine

    Funnily enough no injuries caused from Rugby, a few recurred playing, knee, fingers, concussions. Soccer - Concussion and 6 stitches to the scone. Surfing - Drowned (rescued and resuscitated by brother), too many stitches to count, dislocated vertebrae (C4), broken rib, concussion and don't...

    Why has he been starting then? I saw him start v the Wicks and whilst I thought Deegan played better, the Wicks entire backline offered more in that game and the backrow were better.

    The first sentence is cancelled by the second sentence. New Coke was going to be "enormously important" for that brand but it didn't sell and the consumer hated it. Where is it now? And no it isn't about the Laws of the game.
