They found more white lines than the Force and Tahs combined.

Anybody thinking that more local matches would be good for the game in Australia really needs to re-think that position if that is what gets served up. The Norths V Brothers game was a far better game than any Super Rugby match served up so far by an Australian side.

How long have I heard that for? 25 years. How many free flowing games have I seen between NZ sides played in far worse conditions that this. Always with the excuses, its wet, its too hot, its sweaty............

I know what the better game was and it certainly wasn't "professional"

I missed the first 20 minutes working late tonight so I'll assume the Rebels were better then...? Because FFS it was woeful apart from that. They had a stable scrum midfield and the best that they can come up with is to kick it long, WTF? As for running plays of turnover ball, if they...

Another thing that is so often forgotten is the fact that for many there is no cure, just varying times of "remission", the black dog that is lurking to bite when you least expect it. Learning the coping mechanisms to manage an attack/episode is an individual journey and different for everyone...

But we can wait an appropriate period to ensure that all friends and family have had opportunity to be contacted and have appropriate support networks engaged. I agree open discussion is in most cases the best way to deal with the leading cause of death in young/middle aged males in Australia...

ends with a Federal Police Investigation......

I spent three days at the 7s, with my usual Rugby mates having the usual great time on tour, even if I got cooked on day 1 and crashed a bit on day 2. I know the TV audiences were down, but how much is due to the total lack of advertising. How many people outside of the Rugby crowd knew about...

I made an observation on the two aspects of Mumm's game that IMO gets him selected over Fardy and the rest was critica, that's talking up. o_O About your usual standard TOCC.

Have Australia ever lost to one team four times in a year? I can't see them getting over this England side next week. The pack and set piece are unbalanced with the Pooper (which won't be broken up as it should be) and underperformers such as Moore and Simmons will be retained while there are...

Judging from hat we have seen in all the tests this year I have to think the Welsh will come fight with Italy for last place in the 6N. The total lack of any imagination in attack which is Gatland's (Howley's) hallmark means they will not score anywhere near enough against Eng, Ire and Scot or...

There is no doubt at all the Wallabies had that game there for the picking. They lost it fair and square to a Irish side that displayed strength and accuracy at their set piece unlike the Wallabies. Their discipline was also top shelf though they could have been called for offside a few times...

The Politician speak that came out with it gives me the shits. I'd like to just say, mate nobody believes that shit. You burn credibility with those who still hold some regard for you spouting that crap. Be truthful, no matter how uncomfortable. I despise the sophistry. I should also have...

Absolutely true. I wasn't clear enough though, I meant informed about risks associated with successive concussive incidents. That is also the point I was making in my last paragraph. I look at a player like To'omua, great player and defender who has suffered a couple of significant incidents...

A very good point and while we live in an age where nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions I feel people have to be better informed about the risks of concussive incidents. I read an article quite some time ago postulating that successive incidents predispose the sufferer to...

I've been crook with a delightful case of Plague my daughter brought home. I promise I'll try better Sully.:)

Mate you really need to moderate you WA victimhood. I am extremely well known for my anti-establishment rhetoric here, and I'm sure many if not most go FFS I wish the nut job would bugger off. But that said its is all in how the arguments are presented and I have never been threatened with a...

Did you miss your cut? ;) I'll need a 15% uplift in any terms you achieve due to the "complexities of the cases" for my referral. :D

Discussion go - the ex...... did you blokes a favour we can't have him falling in the do do. Lets clean this up somehow. Whiteboard is out, planning begun to agree on a plausible sequence of events that ensure reasonable doubt exists as to what actually happened. Statement will close, "this...
