I hope Kirchner enjoys his footy more than Harvey seemingly does. Harvey is Captain Serious personified and needs to not worry about whether the glass is half full or half empty, but rather convince himself that a glass even exists. Life is good Dave, lighten up son.

Moving costs would be minimal, pack the boxes and whiteboard, grab a trolley and walk 10 metres.

Smith could be off to the Warriors.

It's clear you really are enjoying this thread IS. Your dedication to this thread rivals WJ's commitment to anything south of the Tweed and north of the Murray.

Aerobic fitness is one piece but what about injury prevention, recovery methodology, performing at altitude, lack of strength in our scrums etc etc etc ? These areas are the 1%'rs that professional sporting organisations develop and share with no one, so as not to lose their competitive...

Hopefully great and hopefully heaps Lyall. Every time one of our fringe players such as Shipperley get their chance and shine, the chances of Deans giving the next one a chance increase.....hopefully.

I'm sick of being passed over for selection

Hold the phone and wait I suggest. With no Palu, Horwill, Vickerman, Pocock or Elsom in our forwards, the Boks forwards will have their tails up thinking there's no one in the Wallaby pack who'll stand up to them.......stand by for bully boy tactics, including scrum time.

I think they're called Volunteers HJ, and clubs would be dead without them.

There's nothing like looking up old friends

Good observation Louie. With our Aussie culture, there seems to be a pattern to our historical success in sport, not just rugby. We either have a 'hard arse take no prisoners' coach or a 'hard arse take no prisoners' leadership group of players, or both when we're at our best. To have both coach...

Yep the basics We have players; - in our key backline positions that can't pass both ways. - in our back 3 who can't kick properly on their preferred foot, let alone accurately with both feet. - in the forwards that cannot tackle front on - in our forwards who tackle with arms and don't know how...

I think the Brumbies knocked back Hooper too a while back.

Where is SBW's shake of the hand commitment to Nick Politis at the Roosters in all of this? Isn't Sonny a man of honor?

Yes Gordon can do more with their rugby, now they need to find a benefactor/sponsor like Eastwood did with North Ryde RSL. Like many Shute Shield clubs, their licensed club that was supposed to support them, ended up doing the opposite and becoming a financial drain.

Spot on Redstragic but if we want sustained success we need to introduce a cohesive system, as you mentioned the Pommy cricket team did. Otherwise we'll be relying on our best day finding their worst day for a few infrequent wins.

Sorry I disagree with you. I will not knock the player's efforts and Norths deserved the win, but the standard of rugby was very poor today. It was slow, passing and catching skills were woeful, and I can't remember the last time I saw so many attempted grab tackles. It was so safe Harvey even...

......and stop calling me Shirley!
