Leadership counts for a lot and the culture of an organisation is most often set from the top. Just look at the going on at the management level and you will see why the players display the professionalism they do. Brumbies financial games, Reds coaching appointments and world wide searches...

I'm in the same boat as you, I watched last night because I got home from a big work week and just flaked on the lounge and put it on. I did not make time for it though as I used to. As for the Wallabies, I used to look forward to it and know the exact schedule. I find myself indifferent this...

3. The HOF played what was in front of him. Its hard to soar like an eagle when your dealing with absolute shite. Its a bad call to put any of the shite play onto the Ref in this case or most cases. Without Refs we don't have a game.

Regardless of where the players have "played" their club rugby, if they ever really have, these five words are the crux of the whole thing for. I have found this time and time again over my working life where trades and jobs have been "professionalised" by ladder climbers getting themselves...

IMHO Professional Rugby is almost dead in Australia. Nobody is watching excepting the few like us who are absolute tragics and know what is possible and continue to hope for it even though it is very improbable. If no Australian side played Super Rugby next year I doubt you'd find much of a...

To that point RH and I began discussing this exact outcome and its very manner along with the timelines C2010-2011. It has been a predictable demise with many of the steps also predicted along the way as they obviously crisis manage and have no real effective plan apart from weathering each...

Oh he was making a joke? Its difficult to tell after years of the same comments being trotted out in seriousness. Also the fact is that my interest has waned to such an extent I couldn't tell you who the Tahs were playing next week, though I now guess it is the Reds, what was once the jewel in...

What an absolute joke this is. The Tahs don't even deserve to be awarded the wooden spoon, I'm sure they'd drop if they were awarded it anyway. The FACT is that no Australian side deserves to be in cooee of the finals, that they will have a representative there is representative of what a...

Same old comments Reg. You posted the same lame stuff during the reign of Graham, Deans, Foley........... oh anybody in a position of authority.

Sorry no. The Kings were not that good, they knocked on, failed to use multiple player overlaps and squandered many chances. The Tahs didn't need anything more than base accuracy. They didn't fail because they lacked Mongrel, they failed through lack of professional application in the game, a...

I try not to drink on my own under such duress, far too dangerous to my health and my bank balance as things may get badly damaged, and then my wife would damage me.

No they weren't. They were a more efficient version of the Hickey/Foley Tahs. Don't forget the collapse in attendance started with Link at the Tahs. He got punted for a reason, it was just stupidity that didn't set out the requirements of a pleasing fan winning game plan to the Hickey/Foley...

I actually sat through that farce. First Tahs game I have watched for a few weeks now and I am sure I could have done something better. Anyway my thoughts:- 1) F^%$^& amateurish. They have dropped more ball this year than any professional team should drop in an entire season, maybe two. 2)...

Anybody doubt the future of Super Rugby in Australia. We have one team in Australia with a positive point differential that being the massive +6 of the Brumbies. Add to that the absolute amateur effort by the Tahs tonight to go with the rest of their amateur efforts this year. Not one of the...

The Banking/Financial industry in general has a very great deficit of community trust because even post the Financial Crisis they have not truly reformed. The idea that a successful career in banking prepares somebody for anything except lining their own pockets is a laugh. Anybody interested...

Agree totally TOCC, but also as I've always argued it enforcement of the rules must be in the spirit of the rules, they cannot pick and choose as they please to allow certain players to sign a contract in a season ie 2017 to play in 2018 and become eligible to play tests in 2017. They...

The total inability for so many supposed Rugby supporters to see past their own parochialism for the betterment of the game and its sustainability/long term growth in this country as evidenced by those posting here (because lets face it the posters here are a significant sample size of the Rugby...

Oh dear....:rolleyes: that was the central thrust wasn't it. I do watch the games the Brumbies are just so memorable in their play and no I couldn't tell you what any of the Tahs, Reds or Force scores were either, even though I have watched most games up until last weekend (07/04-09/04) when...

Along with the exact sae tactics and stats oriented play the Force went on to produce.

The Brumbies Financial Issues went away when they hired an ARU man as the new CEO. Using marvellous ARU financial management techniques everything pertaining to past investigations and management was closed and could not be discussed due to legal non-disclosure agreements etc. Thus a new day...
