    The Israel Folau saga

    I think he's entitled to his views. I don't agree with his interpretation of Christianity I don't care what his views are on anything other than rugby. I think he is extremely unwise to propogate his views on social media I think RA are perfectly entitled to discipline him as they have...

    Missed him down in the middle of the list.:eek: Although Kearnsy still on top when the 7.8% all of the above is added to his individual score.:)

    The Israel Folau saga

    No it's not. You can't on one hand say that you don't want your company associated with someone expressing anti-homosexual views, but at the same time enter into a profitable business arrangement with a company whose owners have a criminal law against homosexuality.

    The Israel Folau saga

    I've reread my post a number of times and can't quite see where I said this. I think what I was saying was quite clear and your post is a deliberate misrepresentation and a statement disguised as a question.

    The Israel Folau saga

    Although QANTAS seems to have no problem being in a profitable commercial partnership with Emirates, the state owned airline of the UAE where homosexuality is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. So let's not start useing large companies as our moral compass.

    Worst Commentator Pole Action

    How doesn't Greg "that was a techinical infringment because it was the Reds" Martin not get into the top 10. Surely his work over many years deserves some recognition.

    Worst Commentator Pole Action

    I wonder what happens if another commentator accidentally lets out a 'boomfa' or 'me oh my' under pressure. Does Justin get royalties? The mind boggles at the intellectual thought needed to come up with these phrases. What's the consensus? I reckon he should be entitled to .000001 cents...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    You've pretty much nailed it dru. I think that we can get an Asia/Pacific or at least a South Pacific professional league going. Either the 5 Aussie super franchises (including obviously the Force) or the 8 NRC franchises or (which would essentially be the same with NSW and Qld split - I'm...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I suspect that super rugby is basically unsalvageable for this reason alone, before we even address travel, games being played in the middle of the night, teams disappearing for 2 or 3 weeks at a time, lack of continuity of season and incomprehensible finals system. I also suspect that SANZAAR...

    NSW AAGPS 2019

    Anybody appointed to a leadership role by the Sydney Archdiocese of the Anglican Church would have been chosen on religious grounds first with other qualifications being secondary. The archdiocese controls the councils of all of these schools (including Shore) and is heavily dominated by...

    Thanks, makes sense in the NZ setting.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    There's still a lot of people in rugby who want rugby to be a professional sport, but want to cling to amateur era thinking when it suits. It would make it look like a professional sporting competition anyway. Having said both of those things, the biggest thing holding super rugby back is...

    I don't think anyone ever explained why it was thought to be a good idea not to include geographic identification in teams names from the very beginning.

    No not really, assume that it would be a blend of their 16A and 2nds from last year as is the case with most schools really.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I suggested a return to a tours based format featuring the SH nations a year or two ago. It's a much better format, but should be 3 test tours with only 1 test against other SH nations so that the TRC would only be decided by each team playing each other once. 3 test tours would have their own...

    I hear that St Augs lost 1sts, 16As and 15As to Eddies in Canberra on Saturday. Pappa has only been retired for one game and the cart is looking wobbly already.

    I liked that last article you posted too. Different to the couple that I found. I'll have to take some time to go through it though, but it seems quite comprehensive.

    Rd 8: NSFW Waratahs vs The Auckland Blues

    Interesting that broadcasters, sponsors and fans are being asked to invest time and money in such a product. At last something that we agree on and I always like to end on a positive note.:)
