    Can anyone explain to a UK based numpty- how can the ARU stop an Aussie play?

    I saw those words, and even if they weren't there I would have assumed you were sharing your thoughts (I tend not to write "my thoughts" at the beginning of all my posts, but it is unlikely that anyone else would want to claim them as their own anyway). So when you wrote "my thoughts" should I...

    Can anyone explain to a UK based numpty- how can the ARU stop an Aussie play?

    So is that the reason why he has been denied permission? I'm just interested to know if there really is a system, or if it is just arbitrary.

    The Tahs

    If the performance of the Waratahs continues in the same vein in the coming weeks, there will be more excuses given - be it humidity, jet lag, cold, wind, heat... My main issue with the performance of the Tahs so far this season is not that they failed to 'throw the ball around' it is that they...

    Waratahs vs Lions. Sydney.

    Bring in Mowen for Dennis Bring in anyone (Beale is my pick) for Anesi Bring in Horne for Carter there's 3 improvements for you, but in a sense you are right - the style of play is the main problem no matter who is on the field

    Wallaby Squad Predictions 2010!

    In case of injury to Genia (the only reason to replace him): Giteau to half back, either Barnes or Cooper to fly half. The only problem with my bench is probably too many backs - I think a 5/2 split is best (let's face it, forwards are generally the ones who need replacing due to exhaustion as...

    Pecking order: Number 8

    He is a penalty machine...kind of reminds me of a young Rocky Elsom in that regard.

    Waratahs vs Lions. Sydney.

    :banghead Hmmm....Maybe we can send some cash his way to ensure a few forced changes to the squad.... Always with that favorite of Hickeyisms "disrupting the combinations". I can't argue with the clusterfuck part though.

    Pecking Order: openside flanker

    with Smith and Braid holding down starting positions at the Brumbies and Reds we have: Pocock Waugh Hodgson but I think Hodgson has the edge over Waugh due to versatility

    Tahs Acadmy V Gods Academy

    So they will have beaten everyone put in front of them, but will still be unlikely to get a look in with the 1st team...that is a shame.

    Can anyone explain to a UK based numpty- how can the ARU stop an Aussie play?

    It is difficult to comment on this issue as I am not privy to the "range of criteria" foreign players must meet. It would be unfair if the problem is any of these: -drug suspension (Harrison, plus he has served his suspension) -foreign (10 are allowed) -crap player (Anesi et al) -played for...

    Wallaby Squad Predictions 2010!

    Wallaby Squad Predictions - are we talking about: Starting 15? Match Day 22? Training Squad (or whatever Deans calls it)? I'm going to just go with my preference, rather than trying to guess what Deans will do 1. Robinson 2. TPN 3. Alexander 4. Sharpe 5. Horwill 6. Elsom 7. Pocock 8. Palu...

    Tahs Acadmy V Gods Academy

    Any details of the Jr Waratahs point scorers? Is that a quote from the Reds website or something?

    Abandon the non-neutral referees!

    Neutral or not, there will always be complaints. As a general rule, I find the NZ refs to be the best. The Bulls were better than the Tahs - the Bulls won The Tahs were better than the Sharks - the Tahs won (yes, I know they were both shit) I'm sure we could go through both games and find...

    Waratahs vs Sharks. Sydney.

    I don't keep a record of the incidents, but I have been generally unimpressed with the interventions of the touch judges in many of the matches - it is as if they are desperate to stick their oar in, or maybe be seen on TV. Just shut up and run the line.

    Reds vs Force, Brisbane

    I know for sure Sheehan was born in WA and educated in NSW. Maybe others can give the definitive answer on the others. The QLD posters around here had me believing that pretty much all the Australian s14 players were at one time or other poached from QLD, but an excellent recent blog post put...

    The Tahs

    Winning the battle (wins without a bonus point) but losing the war (failing to make the finals. Again)

    The Hickey should stay thread

    Barnes and Anesi will be paid whether they start or sit on the bench. Money should not even be considered. Either way, the person who brings in an inappropriate player will look bad.
