I can assure you I have seen plenty of examples from practicing lawyers, on the record, gaming the system for the benefit of the silks. Agree totally with the rest and why I posted I now support whole heartedly the abolition or at least sidelining of the Unions in the running of the game and...

If it was the NSWRU's money that would matter. I doubt that the Fed. Government will take it further either, even though it was their money that was lent, as I am sure some back room meetings will take place to avoid such an eventuality. NFJ has plummeted in my esteem. Ethics are...

If the business is incorporated he would be disqualified if convicted of any offence of "dishonesty" its in the declaration. As for the Law and the uneven application of it, it is a big reason for the Brexit, Trump and Hanson phenomena. I have appeared before courts in this country from the...

TWS - I don't see how an Independent Commission is a populist View. I see it as the only valid solution to the constant in-fighting between the current parties we have. It is a situation where none of the protagonists can say this is for "your" benefit. Every single rugby organisation in...

This incident, the Brumbies Fiasco and the "pissing up the wall" of the RWC2003 money and all other funding arguments have me in total support for the dissolving/re-constitution of all the Unions and the movement of the game to an Independent Commission governance model. Lets get rid of the...

Public interest is a big reason and a reason why NSW lost a Premier because he lied about a $3K bottle of wine. It doesn't matter if they have left the NSWRU NFJ still holds CEO position with his new employer, does Worboys now hold a similar position. If they are guilty of a $5...

Maybe ASIC will be interested because if NFJ has committed an offence it disqualifies him from holding the executive positions he does now? Does Worboys still hold an executive role? Just because they have left the building doesn't remove the illegality committed. Add to that I've seen...

Well evidenced. Yes. Fan boy parochial evidence repeated every week. It got more response than deserved. Your following posts trying to say he is one of the best 6s we've had is more proof of it.

And is about half speed of Phipps. I also disagree about the better pass, at the start of games Phipps is as good he just fades after 50.

No use having a half to move the ball quickly if 90% of the side is too knackered to be in position to accept the pass. Plus Genia's only real strength over Phipps is his running game, which would be better against a tiring defence.

I'd agree except seriously consider dropping Slipper. He hasn't been right since his injury and has been dished in the scrums far too often this year. Genia to bench with Cooper. Why change after that performance?

Fardy's mum is revealed.

Amazing, who'd have thought such a tactic would be revolutionary. Many have been saying it for years, from the time Deans left Gerrard at home and played a conservative game plan needing effective kickers. finally the bloke is also being used to take the kicks as well as being selected.

Compare how much the two front rows ran the ball AND how many tackles broken, offloads and metres made and you'll find the difference there. All three of the Wallaby starting front rowers made lots of metres in tight and Kepu in particular made two offloads that I remember. Wales zero...

Apart from Foley and Cooper (and maybe a couple of 9s) nobody in Australian rugby can pass on the run over any real distance. That doesn't preclude a move the 13 though as Kurindrani is not an effective passer and both are better than AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was/is.

Hiring John Mitchell is the equivalent of the Western Force taking Michael Foley and expecting a different outcome to all the examples they have shown before. At least Foley was a great forwards coach, Mitchell - I've never understood why he keeps getting hired.

People continue to bag Mumm without really looking at what he provides, objectively. In the days before he had his English rugby stint I was not a fan of his at any level, just totally ineffective. Since his return he has two things to his game that few in Australia actually provide. A 6...

Cheers mate. I truly hope the Tahs can use big Taqele effectively like that next year. Springboks look very unorganised away from the set piece, against a scratch side they had no penetration at all in attack.

Well I didn't expect that. I sat through it twice. Immediate thoughts on the Wallabies:- 1) They played with the high tempo that they challenged the ABs with in the last test for the first 50. I feel Cheika again missed the replacement boat and was 10 minutes late with the replacements with...

No replay that I could find until Tuesday. Recording the only way to go, I'll be asleep on the lounge waiting for it to start.
