No, he's been training with Souths for a couple of weeks via his relationship with their S&C coach who is ex Rebels

Phipps has been training hard with the Bunnies in Sydney and impressed with a 2nd in a beep test in recent NRL squad testing. He'll certainly be ready for Thursday's session with the Storm.

For slick backlines I would add the ability to consistently realign into an attacking formation. The AB's are masters at keeping their backline shape irregardless of who is filling which position. The Waratahs and Wallabies seem to lose shape, depth and width after only a few phases.

Grown out of it?

Many people equate concussion with receiving a single strong direct blow to the head. Experts are now saying that concussion can be caused by even minor blows to the head in certain spots, repetitive small blows to the head (think scrums in rugby), and instances where momentum stops suddenly and...

This sounds like something out of 'Homeland' on TV.

A question for everyone. Has there been a single club in any professional sporting organisation in greater Sydney that has remained profitable without the support of a large leagues club or generous benefactor? My money says no but I'd love to be proved wrong. There's plenty of examples of clubs...

The potential for concussion remains in scrum engagements for as long as the opposing teams 'hit' to engage.

And the Mumms.

Didn't the Waratahs re-sign Carter well before Cheika signing on as coach? If that was the case then Carter's signing will have no bearing on how Cheika's team plays.

It's going to be tough enough for him at the Tahs, let alone in Wallaby circles. It wasn't his fault he was injured but in his absence many other outside backs emerged and took their chances. No one should ever question his courage though.

In the US, the NFL is facing a class action suit from over 4,000 former players claiming the league refused to acknowledge the link between brain damage and the sport despite a mass of evidence over 25 years. The NFL is also considering a rule change that would see opposing players at the line...

Agree on the AFL efforts, they are way ahead of other sports but what about Soccer? That was a billionaire master politician pulling $40 million plus for a 20/1 shot (at best) of hosting a Football World Cup and they got it (the $$$ not the hosting rights). Football and Rugby are international...

Don't know if it's been mentioned but we need to lift our political profile to drive increased government revenue into our game. The AFL and Football Australia have been masters at gaining investment monies off both federal and state governments while Rugby was shafted on the Ballymore...

The cynics would say you weren't on the lower north shore or in the eastern suburbs then.

No, a turd can be polished -

Someone may be able to confirm the correct number of full time employees Uni has, but I understand they have 4 full time coaches as well as other full time employees. Congrat's on your turnaround result down at Manly too. A lot of good work and well done.

Easiest shot in golf - the 4th putt.

Silly comment PB and reminds me of the Saffers attitude towards Australia when we won the 1991 RWC. "Australia aren't the real world champions", the Saffers bellowed because South Africa couldn't participate. Well, in 1992 the Wallabies went to South Africa and belted the Saffers all over the...

The problem comes when you promise 30 guys a starting spot, and use that ploy to retain and recruit.
