    Phil Blake

    Like most things in life, it's probably more about the timing of Blake's candidacy . The Force most probably think that right now, they need a seasoned proven coach as much for recruitment and retention, as for coaching.

    Reds v Waratahs Rd 18 2012

    Why don't the Reds and Waratahs use former players as runners out on the field of play like the League sides for this clash only. The QLD RL team use Gilmeister and Langer very effectively. I'd like to see some real former antagonists issued with vests and be part of the night. Sam Scott Young...

    Well done to Wade Kelly on the work he's done coaching these guys @ Scots.

    Sorry Kwerty, I have erred. Anthony Foley is a rugby coach in the UK.

    Your best bet would be to entrust your cash with some Nigerian rugby friends of mine, but that's for another day.

    OK, so what's your PIN number on your debit card?

    Selection politics and bias, Gold Squads unfairness etc.

    You say that scoring in soccer is too low, and I agree, but boy do we have a problem in rugby. If Soccer is about scoring goals, rugby should be about scoring tries, not bloody penalties and drop goals. In the last 3 World Cup Rugby Finals there have been 2 tries in 2003, 0 in 2007 and 2 in 2011.

    Shute Shield 2012

    Agree totally. There were players in both teams capable of better. Also can't remember seeing a game with so many 1-2m pick and drives straight into the ground (Wallabies V Scotland excluded).

    I'll be polite. Don't think so WJ, you may have me confused with another contributor.

    Well God Bless him then.

    The NSWRU Board

    What's spooky here is that I wrote those Board Selection criteria points looking forward, with no reference to the existing board.......I don't know any of the board including Mr Lindommer or anything about him. The jovial stereotyping is in fact reality. In the liquor industry, Wine Merchants...

    Waratahs 2013

    Hawko, I admire your optimism. As you've made comparisons between Ewen McKenzie and Anthony Foley let's delve further. Ewen only became the successful coach he is today when 3 key elements came together; 1. He learnt the hard way via the Waratahs and Stade Francais that he needed to have...

    Pace yourself son, it's only Monday and you've got the whole week ahead of you.

    No, it wasn't aimed at Nick, he's a good guy who I have a lot of time for, it was a selection criteria for the Waratahs board.
  15. It is what it is

    The NSWRU Board

    The criteria for selection should include; - Merchant wanking background preferred - "Two Fathers" (Hyphenated surnames) a must - People with no interest in junior, school, club or suburban rugby are encouraged to apply - Willingness to conduct season reviews before season end is non negotiable...

    Is Mowen good at shifting deck chairs?

    CTPE, all credit to anyone, any school or group of schools that help in the development of Australian rugby. That certainly includes GPS & CAS. I think most people are saying there could be a better way to do it, not throw the baby out with the bath water. In the absence of any genuine pathway...

    Waratahs 2012

    Just wondering if anyone has asked Coach Foley in what areas he and his coaching staff have improved the Waratahs in 2012? Super Rugby Ranking? Attack? Defence? Scrum? Line out? Restarts? Speed? Strength? Conditioning? Skills in passing/catching? Kicking? Culture/Morale? Style of play? Player...
