As we have discussed Cote it needs a Board/CEO that is competent and willing to admit they were wrong and make the changes. They certainly didn't with RG and before that became very complacent with the success of 2011.

It has to be explained to you time and again, most of those of Shute Shield or other club emblems do so for a vast variety of reasons. I am the ONLY rugby fan left in my group who (1) actually has Fox (2) watches the games including test matches. We were hard core but a decade of mismanagement...

And those that have, even hard core ones, some who are still playing aged 45 think its crap. FFS I even know a few players who think its a load of crap but follow through with it professionally and don't say anything too much because they have contracts to think about.

Clarke is a goose who when challenged a few years ago about these very issues and the likely outcomes he could do nothing but spout the praises of the ARU as he has done since he started. He and his ilk have not a shred of journalistic integrity, he and they have been complicit in the downfall...

What F^%$%^ benefits. After much argument I finally got an agreement that the competition was not for development of core skills. It basically gives a few club players some games with non-wallaby super players. Whoopee. We will never see the benefits because it isn't structured to produce any...

There is actually nothing wrong with an examination of what worked in the past, but it has to be looked at critically. For instance Macqueen '98 - '02 was based on something we still see in Australian Rugby, possession dominance and repetitive phase play. It was based around the ruck...

Its not even about that really, I am told many things by friends in Rugby, a few professional players included and it isn't about big noting "oh look what I know" its about a shared passion for our game and trying to head off looming disaster. That passion and drive to try and discuss the...

For the first time ever I have tipped all Australian sides playing to lose, and lose comprehensively. Unless the NZ sides have an absolute 'mare of a game there is just no way our teams are in the same ball park. I'd go so far to say that I doubt the Wallabies would beat the top 3 NZ sides on...

Can we send them Horan and friends on permanent loan.

I saw Mason play a few years ago now in that undefeated team. He was one a few very good standout players on the field that day, a couple of which went straight to League IIRR. I must say I was surprised that Mason appeared on the Tahs roster as I was sure he would have been right at the top...

Well you'd need to be a bit clearer about your "goalposts". You conspiracy seemed to me to be an all encompassing one supported by the media, not created by the media. Yes that makes much more sense, the media even Uncle Rupert's biased version are highly interested in destroying a minor...

So Blu do you think ditch "Super Rugby" altogether? I certainly do. It no longer holds any appeal to me. We already know who the Champions will be, (or at least which conference), and I think we knew before it even kicked off. I don't think Australian Rugby has ever been so shit, at the...

What a choice a drug user or a twit who made some large (but not all) contributions to the loss some good people and the loss of shit loads of cash. Can we wipe the slate clean and dump the whole "professional" lot of them and start again?

Give it a rest Moono, I have been posting about incompetence, corruption and nepotism to all and sundry for a decade and got very little support in the main. To think that any Rugby RU in Australia would have the organisational and managerial skill to pull off a conspiracy of the sort you are...

No - faux development. Meeting "goals" as a task in and of itself instead of focussing on outcomes improvements. Real measureable improvements, not "accreditations" or getting selected by meeting set criteria.

Down with the 1%. Off with their heads!! I heard something about cake.... is there cake?

Its alright with the Stats posted on the Front page none of the Super sides need a 10 anyway and with one of the worst performing sides in terms of attack being "coached" by Larkham the Wallabies won't need one either. Just stick anyone there. I reckon Beale will be 10 without playing a game in...

All right skills are the same some examples:- 1) With the Old leather ball players could before the change of the rule kick the ball dead from their own 10 metre line, 60+ metres. Now with heaps of time on their hands we rarely see an Australian back clear the halfway line a distance of 28M...

Apparently no comparisons can be made because the game has apparently changed.

In all honesty I am almost at the point of not caring if all of Super Rugby disappeared. For two years now I have watched the Australian trot out and then give all sorts of excuses for abysmal skill execution. Skill issues that I have been discussing here along with others for well over 7...
