Slipper is the answer to the above. Hooper is in no way a shoe in as a starter when Mr Pocock is fit and gets some rugby under his belt. Slipper on the other hand has consistently fended off fit competitors for his starting jersey. Would he be a good Wallaby captain? That can't really be...

Does Burke have an axe to grind given it was Link who dumped his arse out of the Tahs? Burke is proving quite the petty little shit. Some could say the Kevin Rudd of the Australian rugby community.

So many of the potential Reds back line have proven lethal in one on one situations. Kerevi, Cooper, JOC (James O'Connor), and I suspect Hunt will be the same. I am really excited about this coming season. Defense also needs emphasis and to provide a leader in defensive structure and some balance I like the...

Yeah I think the traditional ethos of rugby outlives all the hyperbole that gets thrown around the media and other social mediums.

I'm just looking forward to the game because I am sick to death of the white noise surrounding this off field nonsense and just get back to the rugby.

If Cooper plays, he has got to start and be given the chance to take control. If not, just leave him to play a full 80 in the curtin raiser. Much emphasis gets put on the razzle dazzle he is capable of but it is his game management that is his true strength.

Full season non ticketed memberships should be counted. The forever Red memberships I mean. Not all Reds fans live in SE QLD.

The ethos of not booing the kicker clearly doesn't exist in League. Nice boo that Abbott got at the presentation and nobody has done more kicking than Abbott in the last few years.

I congratulate you sir on having the fortitude to say that. I wish more of our countrymen had the gumption to face up to that awkward truth.

no, fuck off. You are spoiling it for us that want to read it for ourselves sir. :)

he is a driven bastard with a tone of heart. Always has been.

Genia had the right stuff when the Reds were at their best but they played the same static one out ball runner this year. When on song he is the best at marshaling our pack as one unit. Cooper also in that he demands not to accept shit ball and seeks go forward and quick recycling before...

You do know AAMI stadium can be sold out on a family ticket.

I think it is more about how we do it rather than the cattle. As you say, we just pass from the base of the ruck to a one out runner who is in a static position. We don't look prepared for meaningful contact. When the Blacks use the same tactic, it is most often Retallick but he takes the...

Interesting though in Aussie rules you are specifically trained to find a human target. That doesn't bode well for what is required of a rugby player.

Congratulations Argies. Quite fucking simply you don't pull back a 14 point lead and go on to win the game without getting credit. Cut the fucking victim mentality. It is truly pathetic and it is a reflection upon yourselves and not the ref, the dickhead with the laser and the Argies. It...

Sounds like there is plenty of Chinese whispers type bullshit on these pages. Deans had a more than fair run in the job. He did some good things and some bad things and it fair to say his legacy as Wallaby coach is one of frustration. It is a bit hard to remember given all that happened...

Nah, the story from the horses mouth is generally a bit more credible than that from other sources. If I can read the writings of an arm chair internet critic, I certainly have no issue hearing the story from the Man himself. Same reason I am currently reading Julia Gillard's book.

Yep, I will buy the book and read the man's side of the story.
