Stirling Mortlock knocked us out of the semi, not Waugh and Smith.

As an opposition fan, I say bring that on!! Just like the flawed Smith/Waugh starting combo from a decade ago, a Pocock/Hooper starting duo I suggest would not be good for the Wallabies.

Perhaps Hunt is a caring and sharing sort of guy and he was spreading the love without any financial gain....

I find it funny that anyone is even trying to correlate the two. Wendell also wasn't charged by police or had to front a criminal court.

Rock Lobster, is there any stats to back up your claim about holding on penalties? I'm genuinely interested, if that is really the case. From my armchair perspective, it seems there are less penalties for holding on because more defending players aren't winning them because they are simply off...

There's no avoiding a public news conference of some sort, but let it not be some contrived and rehearsed job like the Joey Johns tell all. The public is a pretty good judge of when something is genuine or not. If I were advising him, I'd tell him to keep it simple, don't shy away from any...

One would hope that despite the legal ramifications, that through the rehab, the public scrutiny, etc that Hunt will see the error of his ways. Cocaine is an addictive substance and despite what many may think, it is destructive both physically and emotionally. I hope he makes the most of...

Hans, you have to take 3 halfbacks because of the unlikely event that one of your 2 in the match day 23 hurts themselves on gameday. Unless of course Matt Giteau is in your squad ....... :)

5 x props 3x hookers 4x locks 5 x back rowers 3 x halfback 2x 1st 5s 3x midfielders 3x wings 2x fullbacks 17/13 split and with at least 2 versatile backs in the mix

If you take 5 back rowers you probably want one to be able to cover lock in an emergency. Also 4 props is probably a little light on for a WC squad of 30 given 4 are selected every test. You'll need at least one back up option ready to go in case someone pulls a hammy in the warm ups.

According to his bio he came to Australia in 1997. If I recall SCVs commenced in 94 and if you were a NZ citizen in OZ prior to that you automatically went on an SCV. If you arrived after it you had to go on a SVC. so unless he has become an Australian citizen we can assume he is on a SCV

Knowing the lengths that law enforcement and investigative agencies go through before they even bring a charge, I highly doubt this is some beat up. I'm not saying it's a foregone conclusion, but there will be evidence of very questionable behaviour, whether it fits within the definitions of...

Jason Smith (the league player) also been charged with trafficking and the charges are related to Hunt's.

No word yet on whether he will play this round. Seems very unlikely, but you never know.

Just heard K. Hunt has been charged for supplying cocaine

I think poor old Sione Lauaki has been sold a little short here. Charged in 2010 with assault at a Tron bar. Also charged in 2010 for careless driving and crashing. And I seem to recall another run in he had for damaging property last year and had to go to court.

The European players club contracts are huge.. Whereas the ARU contracts ie top ups are big bikkies in comparison.

They should be playing more games than anyone else given the massive pay packets they are on and they don't have the long domestic seasons......

I think 1-3 are sorted Lindo, but huge issues with 16-18. 4-5 are an issue but I think there are at least options. Problem has been that Link never really settled on a duo, so it seems Cheika is still 'searching'.

Do you really think Pocock didn't know that there were consequences? For some people who participate in these matters there is the weighing of risk and reward. So he's been arrested, has he been charged? From what I understand there wasn't a court order against him so at worst he might cop a...
