    Quade telling it how it is

    Apparently he is on annual leave. I know I turn off my business phone when I'm taking a holiday, otherwise it's not much of a holiday. Whether or not it's true QC (Quade Cooper) is on holiday I don't know. It used to be you could believe half of what you read in the papers, now it's at about 10%

    Ewen McKenzie labels the ARU contracting process as 'Frustrating, Difficult'

    I'm just scratching my head at this comment. Is Link like Dr Frankenstein? :confused:

    Ewen McKenzie labels the ARU contracting process as 'Frustrating, Difficult'

    This would be all fair and good. But I wonder, do the ARU boffins have to take a pay cut to? Are they cutting back on the long lunches & choosing the cheaper cab sav? Without players there is no game!

    Quade telling it how it is

    I could not agree with this more! It'll also give them the incentive to play well & hold their position in the squad.

    And isn't calling someone an idiot considered playing the man around here?

    What time will it be broadcast live from Italy?

    Quade telling it how it is

    Probably from when he had the surgery, which was around 6 weeks ago. I remember hearing that he might have been close to ready for the current tour. Not that he would have gone on it, even if fit with all this other crap going on.

    Quade telling it how it is

    1: I think you're reading too much into Scotty's post. and 2: One post by a Reds supporter which tenuously points to your prediction does not equal a full blown conspiracy theory perpetuated by Queensland Rugby fans. Ergo, your prediction is still wrong. ;)

    ^ QC (Quade Cooper) will be ready to go start of next S15 season as I understand.

    Quade telling it how it is

    And this is how he ultimately dug his own hole, the 1 year contracts. It was a gamble which didn't pay off. The only thing for him to do now is come back better & stronger next year & prove that he is still worthy of a full contract... and take the longer one this time ffs!

    Quade telling it how it is

    The Reds can only pay so much I believe, the rest is up to the ARU, how does that equate to other franchises subsidising? I actually think that all test players should be on incentive contracts to play for Australia, perhaps then we'd see some consistency in performance at test level...

    Australia v England @ Twickers 17 Nov 2012

    So when they lose it's the coaches fault and when they win it's the players? Who'd want to be a coach! Always on a hiding to nothing.

    McCabe has fracture in neck - at least 3 months out

    I would have thought that the incentive would be to be able to have your best team on the park at test time.

    Quade telling it how it is

    I tip him to back himself, come out & have another blinder of a year in S15 helping the Reds lift another Championship Trophy, in the meantime earning himself the biggest pay deal in ARU history when he is instrumental in helping the Wallabies beating the Lions & bringing back the Bledisloe.

    McCabe has fracture in neck - at least 3 months out

    This is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever read. It's a contact sport mate, injuries happen. And as to McCabe being used as a battering ram.... maybe, just maybe that's just how he plays the game. Bad luck Patty, love your style & the guts you show on the field. Hoping for...

    Australia v England @ Twickers 17 Nov 2012

    I can't understand this attitude, I don't want my national team to lose (especially to the Poms) just on the off chance that it might lead to a change of coach & make one feel all smug in the knowledge that they called it. Whatever your feelings on Deans, you still have to get behind your team...

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    I used to think the same, but on recent performances I have been converted to the altar of the Honey Badger. This kid has guts & determination.... he looks pretty good in Green & Gold. You have to let past prejudices go mate. The Honey Badger has evolved!

    Ahur ahur :-I Free to air tv is not going to go away & the Wallabies will always find a home on it somewhere. My only complaint is a legitimate one, don't miss the restarts. Anyway going around in circles here. Good day to you sir. PS: My finances are ok, thanks for your concern.

    Well it is what it is, doesn't mean I have to accept it & be happy with what I've got! I don't know the ins & outs of television stations financial situations, but I'll bet dollars to pounds that they won't be going anywhere.
