It’s probably the kiss of death but I’m tipping the Woodies next week at TGM

Getting back to the preliminaries. Joeys were sensational in seconds. Speed to burn and great skills. 16As Joeys again too good but Newington improved on previous years. Another very quick game. 24-14 and I was told that Joeys won by 40 last year 15As another great game. Joeys dominated first...

Joeys were camped in the Newington 22 for about 10 minutes when it was 18-15 to Newington. They obviously sensed (correctly) that it was better to keep the pressure on and make the Newington team use up a lot of energy in defence. Great tactical awareness from Joeys. For 55-60 minutes the game...

That often happens with Shore. They never give up but they are usually outsized and spend plenty of time scrambling. In the end they can’t keep it up and the score blows out.

This is where we need Azzuri to make a comeback. Never a pie left at Northbridge during his time

Not for spectators

No doubt that's true. We could also say that had Manly held on against Warringah and/or Eastwood we'd now be second. There's been plenty of close games this year - more than there has been for a while and every club has dropped close games that they could have won. That's sport.

In fairness, it sounds like it would have been difficult to say very many positive things about the Waratahs.

I watched that game on TV and yes they did play well that day. Still a way to go, but they'll need to get their skates on.

It's been reiterated many, many times that his offer to walk away if his beliefs were a problem came in the negotiations before his latest contract. At that point, RA could have foreseen the current situation and decided that it was too much of a risk and both sides could have walked away with...

It doesn't appear that they even sent him a letter after the meeting/meetings with Castle and Cheika spelling out exactly what was agreed to at the meeting/s. All just left as a melange of recollections of one or more meetings. Remember that Folau publicly stated at the time that his...
