Can we start banning people who link paywalled articles (that you can't dodge) without at least paraphrasing its substance?

If you can appreciate that something you are about to say would sound at home in a satirical newspaper then you probably wouldn't say it at all eh.

Might achieve centralisation...?

I don't really get the fuss from Brumbies fans. Whats it, like 25 years old? Its not like RA are looking to wipe out a century of sporting tradition. Its not even clear centralisation would have any negative effect on them at all. Plus they seem about as financially viable in the long term as...

Its an effect of the increased specialisation brought on by professionalism. Forwards have enough shit to master as it is with all the set pieces.

I don't know how realistic this is these days. If I was a player I wouldn't tie shit to KPIs unless I absolutely had no choice.

I mean, I guess it's good you are willing to do additional unpaid work but I somehow doubt you are our goalkicking solution.

Its grim that the only things keeping people in Australian rugby are temporary (and could end up being disasters as well).

I reckon he's better than average. And if his salary gets a cap exemption he won't be short on suitors.

According to the SMH last year WINGERS · Average salary = $451,602

Supremely talented athletes are cockheads in late adolescence but then mature as they age... seems pretty standard.

I thought his problem initially was strength in contact which he's managed to turn from a distinct weakness into a strength (quite commendable really).

And here I was thinking Tupou's comments were pretty uncontroversial/obvious. They pretty clearly needed more experience at 10 and in the broader squad... I mean Carter Gordon said it himself - he hadn't practised kicking all year. And Donaldson... well you know.

What he is referring to here is a pay packet commensurate with his ability.

Doubt it. League wingers are shocking in defence.

Agree on Thorn. I think he's probably a bit limited as a head coach but Australian rugby must try and keep him involved in some capacity as I think he clearly has value to add.
