I haven't seen that many Dr, but I'm sure you'd suggest a cream or ointment of some kind to lessen the inflammation. Perhaps a course of antibiotics. Maybe the unit we are discussing are beyond treatment and require more drastic intervention, could I suggest

Yes the clean grounds issue was of their own making, just like the ARU failures over the last 15 years is theirs/ours. JON MK1 could have been less grasping and pulled the then NZRU aside and said look, this is the IRB rules, the stadia have to be clean we have been given a go it alone option...

Cowan? Has played OK and certainly not worse than some other LHPs with Wallaby experience like Ryan.

Evidence does not support this statement. Lack of passing skills and lack of actual positioning to assist a support player would be the keys to making this statement somewhere near truthful.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility from my understanding of String Theory, but it is a very long bow. I think more likely they look at the basket case ARU and remember being screwed over instead of assisted to meet the clean stadia requirements for the 2003 RWC and just sit back now and...

I always think of Day of the Triffids when that quote brought out. I wonder who we can characterise as a deadly parasitic plant with a hive type intelligence?

Being the froth floating in the sewage treatment plant is such a good thing to aspire to.

When the dirty deals are the sort referred to police and ASIC and have various financial settlements with the usual non disclosure clauses plus court suppression orders of accountancy investigations reports you real really don't want anything coming out and the ARU chosen one Thompson is now in...

I am a bit surprised at the number of Yes votes, and a bit heartened honestly, because to me it means people are starting to see that the future of the game in Australia really exists outside of the Super Rugby comp. It is a dead end, it isn't sustainable and I doubt will exist in any form at...

They came 2nd on the table due to the stupid conference winners set up. That had a PD of +96 (which they'd be dreaming of now) but really third. No a re-writing of history, but performance clearly declined in 2015 when compared to 2014, especially in terms of defence with 41 tries against the...

Winning the Super Rugby with the Reds and the Tahs have to be seen for what they are the stars aligning with the bounce for a change of coach and system which had some basics the year before. Despite in both cases the majority of the squads being retained neither side performed the next year...

If people like yourself Slim had listened then things like this would be avoidable, because by listening we as fans may have been able to drive more accountability and better outcomes. Wallow, no, hope for and try and bring some actual thought to the process and point out what is likely to...

It is only the basis in NSW/Sydney. Brisbane Qld can and should have their own comp, ditto the other markets and then bring the finalists of those competitions together for a national championship aka the NRC but with real teams that actually have a following, history, and basis for growth. The...

Alright, its pretty easy to see that the top end of town is fundamentally broken and disconnected from a large part of the fan base. Let Super Rugby and SANZAAR stand on their own. Let the ARU run it if they want. IMO both will collapse by 2020. So from the grass roots up we need to be...

Yeah I'm not in Sydney. So there. :D I can't discount that some may well regard me as a miserable bastard, in fact I may have been called things along those lines once or twice, perhaps with more colourful language for emphasis.

The very obvious flaw is the people I am talking about are Rugby people, they play or are involved in the game at some level, or were in the past avid followers of Super Rugby. Can you understand that? These are the people who should be first up to watch, that they aren't ells you there is a...

Yes they are. See how that goes? I gave a pretty definitive example of how they are indeed debatable. Another point to add to that already given is the cost - not all costs are monetary. How much goodwill has been burnt not only with certain well known Sydney clubs but with unconverted fans...

The trouble is if you fundamentally do not believe the NRC is the right direction and you have no faith what so ever in the ARU why would you be a "nob" and just blindly support them in what they want. The fact is the ARU has no social capital or standing with a very large number of people in...

Unfortunately all your points are highly debatable, as evidenced by the massive crowd attending the final last year.

I would like your post as it is very very accurate, but the NRC is not a solution to anything. Yes it could be in 5 to 10 years time. The FACT is that the time needed for the maturity of the competition (which is at best a risky prospect on balance) is far too long given the issues that the game...
