No probs, rugbysmartarse, post your picture, wasn't this post, it was one replying to a post by a member singing the praises of KB (Kurtley Beale). I called the poster a word that rhymes with "anchor"! I can handle Sully's adjudicating!

Hey, ACT Crusader, I saw a sticker on the back of a 4WD yesterday, travelling up the M1 on the Gold Coast, that you would like: A silver fern, and under it, the word "QueeNZlander"!!!

I think you're onto something here, boyo. We just have to come up with a colour that best represents "Indifferent", and we can capture the fashion market! We all know know how fickle that industry is!

It wont happen, HJ, he signed with Khoder Nassar on Monday, and will concentrate on his boxing and polo, after the EOYT! His great Grandfather, Geoff Carter, was #3 back for the NSW Polo Team, so Sam sees his future in those two sports, given the new coach, and the successful weight-loss program...

Really?! I guess a capitalist like me can't understand your parameters, or maybe I'm comparing Rugby to the NFL?! "Perform and you are rewarded, if not, you're out the door"! Too many positives from last night's other winners for me to waste any more time on Folau, but you go for it, TOD.

No need to apologise, Dctarget. It's not about a "handicap", it's about "expectations". Izzy (who, BTW, I regard as a very gifted player, but "being contained" of late), is paid commensurate to his past performances, and future expectations. When he first came to Rugby, Mrs D. was ambivalent. I...

Given that comment BH81, perhaps it's a good thing that I'm not one of "the players"!

Hi Joeleee, I'd put that differently. Izzy is paid big bucks because his contributions are expected to be impressive. He is paid to perform at a level higher than most (or all) of his team mates. I would need to have all the contract payment details in front of me to know if it's "most" or...

Just got a msg back from Sam's Dad, who said it's been a "big year" for them all. Dave also said: "Now that the dust has settled over coaching, let's hope they have a good tour"........... And so say all of us!!

Yes Dctarget, one of the few "positives" for Mrs D. and I in the last two weeks, (although, in fairness, the boys did play great Rugby at Suncorp Stadium). I sent a txt to Sam's proud folks as soon as I saw it on this thread. Should add a few dollars to his his "trading value"!! He's a top young...

An excellent post Scrubber 2050, it's as if I, Mrs D., or several of our Rugby-mad friends wrote it. So much wisdom from one so young (52)!!!

Yes Biffo, where indifferent=mediocre. IMO, the last two weeks held so much promise, with the chance to beat the ABs in Brisbane, the expected positive build-up to the EOYT, capped off by Hooper or Slipper, (or both 'jointly'), winning the John Eales Medal! So Biffo, it has been a very...

Sorry Jeeper, I'm guilty! And there was me thinking that's what he was paid the BIG DOLLARS for. Silly me!

For me, it tops off a pretty "indifferent" two weeks in Oz Rugby!

Fear not, Qwerty51, I have it on good authority, that a number of votes were in the ballot boxes that fell off the back of a truck in WA, so expect a new 'election' in late November!

Read it more closely, QH!!!!!

Mrs Doug and I don't like the direction that this is heading in!

Having not read all the posts on this topic, has it been suggested that a 'Coach's mentor' be appointed to guide Michael Cheika through the next 12 months, given his SANZAR ban from April: "The Judicial Officer has suspended Mr Cheika from involvement of any kind in all forms of Rugby at any...

AS, that's an equally scary scenario!!
