I was interested to see the following on Wikipedia, under the heading: 'Rugby League gameplay': "A 2012 New Zealand study found that over 659 tackles are made per game in professional Rugby League". (This figure came from a tackle-injury survey using 31,655 tackles from 48 games). During the...

I must be feeling my age, as it's taken until now for me to discover this bloody thread! I put two comments on the MOM thread an had one deleted and was verbaled by barbarian (deservedly, I guess) for the other!! Needless to say, I haven't read the previous 32 pages of posts but will do so in...

In the space of a week I heard comments on radio that this All Blacks team is the best ever, and the latest Wallabies squad was the worst ever! After a draw, go figure that out!

It's that pesky "sweaty ball" Scotty. BTW, anyone who hasn't included Harris in their 3,2,1, wasn't watching the same match as Mrs D and I. 5/5 for 15/18 points takes me back to my (much critisized) comments a few months ago, of Aussie Mike's ability to "win you a match"! My other nomination...

HJ, I've worked it out after watching 10, 7 and 9 news tonight: It's the loss of 1 hour's sleep for you poor bastards subject to Daylight Saving!! Everyone is agro, frustrated, tired and emmotional! I agree, Taps has alot to learn, eg when a player crosses the line with ball in hand, try and...

My critisizm of Digby relates to the fact that over the years Mrs D and I have been at Suncorp Stadium and seen him constantly with ball in hand still gaining ground with two or three opponents hanging on to him, and often unloading the ball (like a smaller version of Artie Beatson). Now he does...

Na, Hugh, only 2.5 points (0.5 deduction for socks down)!

That was a much Phipps' try, as Digby's!

Ben taps, you fucked up again!

Like about 10 others tonight in Gold!

We're closing in, I think we are down to 15!

Ben, that's unforgiveable!

Digby's been putting in some poor games lately, maybe he's like Robbie, great at Super Rugby level, but struggles to perform consistently at test level.

Yes Hugh, Queensland may be 1 hour behind you lot as of today, but we do get FTA live!!

Green laser being used on Wallaby players, but if it's ok for Greenpeace to use them on Japanese skippers, I guess it's ok at Rosario!

Should be a 5-second limit on ref's scrum calls, 'cause he's buggering a good game!

So who were you before, "p.Dog"?!

I spoke to my mate the Osteopath this week, and he agrees that the Wallabies high injury level is due to players spending too much time "pumping iron" in the gym! "There's no substitute for match-fitness". So why aren't there more regular "possibles v probables" games, e.g. Australia A v...

Daz, Daz, Daz, mate, you've gota stop drinking that battery acid, it's making you bitter! Highlighted script: 1. IMHO = "In my humble opinion". 2. "Apart from saying he's a potential biter": I didn't give him the name "Honey Badger". To be honest, I initially didn't know who posters were...

IMHO Cummins will be a one-cap Wallaby! Why, you ask, well if his nickname is Honey Badger, it must because he's a biter! Friends of mine once had a racehorse named The Honey Badger, because of his habbit of nipping human body parts! So Mr Cummins will get a 12-match ban (as per Bulldogs'...
