As long as they don't bring in another Gary Flowers type who when in charge appeared to waste the war chest left after the success of the world cup. As an aside it has been good to have a bit of stability at board / management level over the last 3 seasons, pity it hasn't translated to onfield...

He plays both but is a bit of a potplant around the field. Hopefully Laurie Weekes is forgiven and goes on tour. If they do take a development prop hopefully it will be Dane Tilse as he impressed me when he played S14 this year and has done a good job playing for uni as well.

You sure no one edited that vid so it looked like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) passed? You know cut his head off and pasted it onto someone elses body?

Referee to the laws of the game (straight scrum feeds, proper procedure at the breakdown, ping for offsides) and use the yellow cards to ensure no repeat offenders.

We won the first BaaBaa v England game though so it was 2 wins a draw and 2 losses.

1995 or 2005? I can't remember the Wallabies playing Ireland in '95 (World Cup? end of Year Tour?) but remember they lost to England with Rob Andrew's drop goal.

Why would FOX want to spend $1bn on league when only people in NSW and Queensland watch it? Think Murdoch has more sense than that. Good idea calling for league to raid rugby ranks when it is fairly common knowledge that most of the clubs in the NRl are struggling for survival.

I'd be quite happy seeing Carter remain at 12. IMHO Carter was one of the unsung heroes at 12 in the 'tahs late season resurgence.

I am hoping that he stays of course but if he does decide to go I hope the ARU slam the door shut behind him ever coming back. In 3 years time I don't want to be reading about him umming and aahing over returning to rugby and the reds. No player can ever again be bigger than the game.

World Cup semi '07?

Been impressed with Jerry Y in this game. He is getting through a mountain of work, some nice runs in the open and has got the better of both the Eastwood tighthead props who have scrummed against him (including Dunning who has played tests for Australia at tighthead). Is he still with the...

As we seem to be moving more into an argument on the pros and cons of Shute Shield expansion I have mentioned on several occasions over the years that the Shute Shield should be moved to a Sunday as presently it is impossible for a core of die hard rugby fans to go along and watch their local...

1. It was his first test and from looking at it he was a little too eager to make his presence known early but once he settled down was good. 2. He missed most of his tackles in the second half from memory where he was noticedly tiring. I said to my mate who I was watching the game with he...

Mods, maybe this thread and the Weidler one should be merged as they both cover the same topic. Alternatively maybe everyone could start posting in the Weidler thread.....

The Wallabies limp dick attack was on display for all to see again tonight. We lack penetration and were easier to read than a baby's first book. In the past Oz has been reknowned for innovative attacking play but it has deserted us over the past 5 years. Our skill levels are lacking (which is...

Robbo 6 - he is not having the same impact at the breakdown as he had last year - may be his injury S Finger - 8 was everywhere tonight Maafu - agree with Gnostic Mumm 5 - tried harder tonight but still not test match standard Sharpe 8 fantastic game tonight. Made up for his lineout mistake...

Thought Ant Finger improved as the game wore on and his work at the breakdown is something that Oz had been missing by playing smaller "ball players". Some handy passes by him as well. Thought he was out on his feet a bit in the last 20 and should have been replaced (which was about the time he...
