And he is not one of them. He is on loan from Leicester Tigers. Not sure what the point of importing somebody like him is, exactly.

Reasonable. I do not like Banks particularly, I think his limit is Super Rugby. So I would go with either Wright or Petaia. Leaves room for Vunivalu in the 23.

My wife's current fave. He is a ball of energy.

I reckon the Reds would be busting to win every unopposed training drill. They look to me to be really hungry, every player fully committed to the team cause.

Getting Jake Gordon back was a big boost.

No. My apologies for not answering more promptly. :cool:

Shute Shield did not want to be made into a third tier through the ARC. I went to as many ARC games as I could. Along with a couple of other hundred other spectators. The rugby was actually pretty good, it was on FTA. Pretty unambitious objective, I would have thought. Hardly going to...

You are totally missing the point. It was the enormous financial and political strength of the VFL that enabled expansion. Not "planning". Everything they did was incremental. The Swans almost went broke. Aussie Rules was enormously popular in WA and SA which made the path easy for their...

The reason that the AFL is successful is that every kid in Melbourne adopts a team almost before they are weaned. Yes, they were quick off the mark to understand the value of a national product in terms of the needs of their big sponsors, and that is why they expanded from an existing popular...

Maybe because we ate dirt for a lo-o-o-o-ng time after our admission in 1949. 50 years until our first first grade premiership. If it were not for the Millner family, not to mention the deep pockets of North Ryde RSL, we might not be here, frankly. Anyway, apology accepted.

Building a sustainable domestic competition would take a huge heap of money over a number of years. It would also require the establishment of something approaching a consensus amongst the bulk of the code's stakeholders. The AFL and NRL competitions are built on the foundations of existing...

I reckon Edmed would have been quite content not to start last night. His time will come.

Just as a matter of interest, which SS club do you support?

Amazing win by the Woodies away to Southern. They looked gone for all money after a red card in the first half.

Edmed is also put under pressure, surely? No winners in this.

While I can understand Batger having a bit of a rant, IMHO Edmed is not ready to start at 10 just yet, especially not in a team as pissweak as this current rabble.

Weird. Or to put it another way, what is your constructive answer to the question?

Different sport, different times. Raudonikis had a pretty tough upbringing. Rugby players these days (particularly the little darlings that seem to be favoured by the NSW selectors) mostly have a gilded background and a golden ride into the team. One answer might be to require any player who...

Chuckle. You chaps can give it, but you cannot take it (as an old mate of mine used to say).:)

Fortunately he has a broader perspective than the average Ponies fan.
