The thing we saw with Davies and Toua was keeping them injury free, how many times did we see Davies tear his hammy from his acceleration? Then, a lot of guys who have raw speed alone don't know what to do if they can't find space as they don't work on their feet. While JOC (James O'Connor) may not have the...

IF Foxtel Play comes out in HD this will be a moot point as Foxtel will have transitioned into having a web presence. As it stands, you can get their sport channels over the internet BUT it's all in SD which is absolutely pathetic when you're used to their HD broadcasts. Then there's problem for...

I don't think the attack coach needs to tell Quade etc how to play nor do I think they will. Hopefully we'll revert back to what Link did, give Quade, the backs and the team the general structure on what will beat the opposition on the weekend and play it as you see. Deans used to preach about...

On the other hand, by giving Stiles the nod for HC, you've got a pretty inexperienced guy at the helm. So if you were a experienced and successful coach at this level, you would have been vying for that HC role and not an AC role. As a result, I'd dare say they burnt some bridges by not giving...

While I agree with many of your points made, but you haven't pointed out any better candidates to replace either Cheika or his assistant's. I will say that, even if Dingo has a better win to loss record than Cheika, I enjoy watching this current team tenfold compared to the crap we had to put...

For all those moaning about Cheika and his comments you really need to step back and see what it does. By saying comments that the press and public jump on, most of the heat is directed his way and not his players way. So, if certain individuals don't play well (or the team) Cheika can draw the...

Maybe the Kiwi's weren't the only ones who had a listening device in a couch, just the Wallaby staff didn't do a sweep!

Players form comes and goes, it's completely unreasonable to expect a player to be performing consistently at their best. Perhaps he was rushed back from his shoulder op and didn't have his base S&C set prior to being thrown back into the Reds. Since then he's been playing catch up which isn't...

Plenty of time for that to happen, they retest samples years down the track ;) For those that simply chalk these types of 'false positives' as being business as usual, David Millar (ex doping cyclist) wrote an excellent piece in the NYT...

5 teams, 5 days in the business week! It matches up nicely albeit that trip across the nullabour would get boring real. Question is, do you start in Perth on Monday and end in Sydney on Friday? Surely the booze is cheaper in Sydney than in the Perth domestic airport?

Ahh I see, thanks for the correction!

Wait, what??? Not only did he get a new contract but he's injured once again meaning he'll miss 2 months of the competition?

You lot stay below the line otherwise we'll build a wall and make you pay for it!

Geeezzzzz we have some kind of depth and coverage at most positions outside of 10, 11, 14 and 15. The back three will be our biggest weakness defensively and offensively they're too similar; guys who run at blokes rather than around or have multiple facets to their game.

Oh man, Christmas is like 2 months early today. It would only get better with Willy ripping up his French contract and flying back home.

Pretty blase attitude don't you think? I can count of the top of my head a handful of reasons why a pain killer in a contact sport is a drug that is performance enhancing. Team Sky are coping a lot of heat for 'legitimate' TUE's taken by Bradley Wiggins and Froome. In their cases, they are...

Moving away from whether they had a TUE or not, I'd be interested when the injection/treatment was done and how soon they were playing. Recently everyone comes out about player welfare being paramount, but if they took a banned substance the week leading up to a match or matches, surely it...

Yeapppppppp, not worth the time and effort going down this route if the games aren't shown in HD. Not to mention, the games aren't shown on demand, that is, if you don't watch it live you can't view it. I moved the couch/tv into another room on the weekend, fired up the old playstation to...

Bit of a fickle statement don't you think? While I agree Jake hasn't been or isn't up to the standard we want, what he said was a pretty cliched answer. I'd prefer to read this than the opposite.
