    Waratahs - Positivity thread

    The Waratahs game plan mantra of "We used to be undecided, but now we're not so sure" is breakthrough De Bono like thinking. They have cleverly adopted the Jeff Thomson fast bowling philosophy as a rugby game plan too......if he didn't know where the ball was going then how could the batsman?

    Good for you, I'm firmly happy for ya Bowside.

    Wallabies versus Wales- SFS

    Just hope they're not part of the Waratahs 3 year plan to win Super Rugby that is about to commence its 17th year.

    ARU - Taskforce designed to reform Brisbane and Sydney Premier Rugby

    For any competition to be viable it needs to be funded. Funding comes from TV rights, Grants, Sponsors, Merchandise sales etc. The big problem is that at the moment there isn't a commercially viable pathway. TV schedules are loaded in Oz with AFL, Football, Cricket (about 10 mths plus per year)...

    Waratahs - Positivity thread

    Waratahs players will be back playing for their club's sooner because they've missed the Super semi's.

    New Zealand vs Ireland

    Or heaven forbid Quade touched Richie.

    Wallabies versus Wales- SFS

    RedsHappy, you have the best stadium in Australia and your other points are 100% valid too. I look forward to going there and dread going out to Homebush. In Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide fans can walk to and from their hotels, bars and restaurants in the city, to the stadiums. Fill us in...

    Wallabies versus Wales- SFS

    Please be aware of the dangers of dehydration, so keep the fluids up. Otherwise, just keep sending the messages through and hope the legs respond.

    Wallabies versus Wales- SFS

    There's nothing better than watching rugby at a rectangular sided stadium, made for the rugby & football codes. Fans and the players love Alliance (the artist formerly known as Aussie and SFS) Stadium. Will this match see the return of the big lunch up in Paddington followed by the once...

    Cyril Towers?

    Selection politics and bias, Gold Squads unfairness etc.

    Yes, I know what's wrong.......their soccer team has just been knocked out of Euro 2012.

    2012 IRB Junior World Championship

    Our boys busted their backsides but were outmuscled too often in contact, when it mattered. Whether it's Nucifora coaching or whoever, wouldn't it be reassuring to see our U/20's and Senior Wallabies playing to the same structure and style of play. Certainly Nucifora should have been able to...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Go to the corner of George and King Streets. Walk 20m NNE and you'll find a public telephone booth. Go inside and underneath the shelf there's a mobile phone inside a black plastic bag. Turn it on and wait for my call.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Why can't these offending schools self regulate Joe Mac, it's good enough for golfers? It's not very becoming for institutions that try and carry off a 'holier than thou' pretence.

    My name's Billy, not Silly.

    ARU - Taskforce designed to reform Brisbane and Sydney Premier Rugby

    Unfortunately it would be easier to count the clubs that aren't in financial trouble.....it's really tough out there.

    Argentina

    Spot on Badger. Their banded Adidas jersey was a cracker. Don't discount Visa's influence here in the changes. Sponsors are more demanding today in having their brands more visible and don't care about tradition. Conversely, good on the All Blacks for being so protective of their jersey's integrity.

    Waratahs - Positivity thread

    That no matter how tough things are for the Waratahs, the scoreboard still reads 0-0 at kick-off.

    2012 IRB Junior World Championship

    Agree that a younger version of the comp would be beneficial. Building off that idea, it would probably be impractical and cost prohibitive to run it at U20 level as many of the players wouldn't be full time players and time off work/travel etc would be an issue. Super clubs couldn't afford the...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    No, it would be ignorant to accuse all private schools of offering sporting scholarships. It's aimed squarely at schools who flaunt the rules, deny it and continue with the rort. I'm just trying to bring some reality to the forum.
