I've never been a big fan of sacking the coach if a team is doing poorly (more than one person responsible for performance), but it is like the CEO of a company. They are the leader and if the company is underperforming the buck has to stop somewhere. Likewise, the head coach is responsible for...

I think the benching players comment is around a perceived feeling when a player announces they are leaving they fall out of favour and are punished by being benched or omitted. It did feel that way with Pyle and Neville, but Jones wasn't so draw your own conclusions there.

And he could have been a Wallably. Word too that as soon as Bristol are relegated he will be joining Gloucester.

We could get injury coach cover from the Shute Shield.

That fact had not escaped me.

I noticed that too. I think it's a typo as Nic is official captain but I always thought Sean should be.

"We have no head coach..." oh, sorry, that was just me saying that.

Our injury list is bad, but the Force are nearly as bad: Dane Haylett-Petty (hamstring), Ben McCalman (shoulder), Adam Coleman (calf), Richie Arnold (calf), Chance Peni (groin), Ryan Louwrens (knee), Luke Morahan (cheekbone), Jermaine Ainsley (knee), Angus Cottrell (knee), Matt Philip (foot)...

Hopefully TT is doing the right thing for the club and is writing his resignation on the flight home. Here, I'll help him... Dear Andrew, It is with deep regret that I tender my resignation, effective immediately. As head coach of the Melbourne Rebels I take full responsibility for the team's...

You know what? I am so f$&king pissed off with the ARU. I am in no way blaming them for the Rebels' performance, but just make an announcement one way or another! If we are to go then at least I will just feel crap about that. Now I am worrying about getting the chop AND our shite performance...

The game you mentioned was v the Brumbies in 2014 at AAMI Park. Yes, Jason Woodward kept kicking and when he stopped doing that (at the request of the crowd) and they ran with it, they got results (and won too).

True, that Harrison Goddard is a good scrumhalf.

Would that leave us with anyone?

How about JD back in at 10 and Ben V in the bench as utility cover?

We need a good utility who can scrumhalf. Richard Kingi was good there.

Cool. I thought it was very recent and there was no time to fly over.

Oh great, so what, Snowden and who?

Poop!

It's Friday, here's another classic Cipriani moment (including THAT dance). Shame he did his hammy - did this end up being his last game for us?

Funny, I thought the same when I read it.
