Yeap, I can 100% this happening. There's more reported instances in Western societies of religious groups forcing out teachers or excluding students who don't follow the same faith than there are martyrs like Izzy.

Had to laugh at how precious Chieka's ego is. Sheesh. Tumpesque.

"Mr Folau wants all Australians to know that he does not condone discrimination of any kind against any person on the grounds of their sexuality and that he shares Rugby Australia’s commitment to inclusiveness and diversity." What. A. Pisstake.

NRL Grand Final is end of September, first EOYT game is Nov 7, so could see him being part of the squad then.

I would have thought he's a like-for-like substitute for Speight (can't remember how long his contract with us is) who is replacing Sefa. Marika demonstrated this year how valuable pace is which Hardy and Campbell don't quite have in comparison.

I'm sure the fatcats watch some Shute Shield, but how many times have either of them turned up for the 5th Grade kick off at 9am on a Sunday morning in July, after getting on the beers the night before at the Super Game!????

On the one hand, it's nice to see that Australian coaching IP isn't lost after a coach resigns. On the other, it reeeeekkkkks of the usual 'Jobs for the Boyzzzz" attitude. Grey would honestly be best off starting a new chapter at a different club if he wanted to keep his coaching career alive...

Why do we care what Phil did or didn't do after his time at the Reds? As I said, Mooney spent those two years essentially putting together the team that Link used to win the competition. In other words, Mooney's copped the years of development while Link got to benefit from that. I'm not...

Ok.

Yeap, I can remember Link saying the 3 year cycle multiple times too. Plus, I thought it was pretty well accepted that Link's quick success at the Reds is directly attributable to Mooney spending the time and effort building the nucleus of the 2011 winning squad?

Or you know, we can play it at Suncorp, fill it with 52k people who can get a seat and still be able to see the pill.

Buy a casting device and this problem goes away. You just fire up the Optus app on your iPhone/iPad/Tablet/Android phone, and tell your casting device (Chromecast) to play the game instead of it being on your device. With the rise of streaming services; Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime, AppleTv...

Is there a reason why you see this is a problem? Exposing the younger members early to such an environment is hugely beneficial in my mind. They see what level they need to be playing/training at to make it into Super Rugby and also have zero expectations or pressure on them. It's an opportunity for them...

Mate, you realise Sonny Bill had a Rugby World Cup winners medal before 2012?

The whole saga to me demonstrated player power that particular individuals have wielded. The way I interpreted Dicks words was, he was upset with Link being given free reign at the Wallabies and that Patterson told some players what to do. The whole "hardened Wallaby campaigners" makes those...

I stopped reading here; Lost all credibility and respect right from the get-go with this.

Laurie has stated he can do both Brumbies and Wallabies. The other 4 (Matt, Scott Mick and Haydn) should be rolled out nationally to ensure all Super, NRC and Clubs have a clear vision on the direct of Australian Rugby and what they expect players skill/development levels to be. At the end of...

Hope Thorny doesn't make Wright cut the mullet off.

100% would go with this. Some extremely talented and experienced AC coaches both domestically and internationally. I cannot think of a better coaching structure.

You know Football clubs in Europe have the exact same model i.e Director of Football and a manager/coach right? Most of those organisations are worth more than the sum of our entire sport. Whether you think Johnson is/was the right man for the job is a different argument to whether the structure...
