What if they're not kicking it high but kicking deep to us because they know Izzy and Foley can't clear the ball long enough. As a result, they get a net gain in territory! I just think it goes to show that Australia is not being smart enough and to revert to a Deanism "playing what's in front...

If you move Izzy to wing and shift DHP to 15 you're not really harming yourself when it comes to high balls. If DHP struggles with handling them mid-game, you'd hope the players are smart enough to identify this on the fly and switch positions. More importantly, I don't think the deciding...

Honestly, it depends on how far you want to travel and how much you feel like dropping on watching the game. If you're wanting a feed + watch the game: South Side - Norman Hotel, Pig N Whistle (West End), Story Bridge Hotel East Side - NFI as I don't venture that far ;) North Side - Breakfast...

Quade doesn't fair much better, between suspensions and his own injuries!

There's just no pleasing some of the glass half empty crowd! Honestly, some people need to speak to their GP, get on some anti-depressants, mix it with a few beverages and loosen up.

Speaking of depth, has Michael Gunn been playing QPR at all? With Smith producing the goods, Gunn really hasn't had a chance to be included in the matchday squad. Last year we saw some glimpses that Gunn may be able to fill Gilly's shoes but so far I don't think I've seen him on the field?

Ahhhh, the dog poster finally makes sense. Cheika wants us to develop a never die attitude so he picks Nabuli knowing we'll have to spend 10 minutes down to 14. I just hope Quade and Nabuli aren't on at the same time increasing the chance we'll play with 5 backs!

A couple things that need to be taken into consideration when looking at this latest 'figures'. Going back to the 2016 season, the Socceroos had the following match turn outs; vs Tajikistan - 35,439 (Adelaide) vs Jordan - 24,975 (Sydney) vs Iraq - 18,923 (Perth) Those 175,000 fans they're...

Originally when the shit was hitting the fan and people were touting getting Genia back, I simply dismissed the idea as we had Frisby and Tuttle was developing nicely. But, as this season has gone on and our results have tanked along with Frisby seemingly disinterested in his performance, I...

BR, I can personally vouch that those stats are off by a considerable margin. They've got Genia down as 174cm, which is probably right if he had studs on and stood on his tippy toes when he had his Afro!

Again, I think you lot are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Simmons is a quiet bloke at the best of times, perhaps during the final meeting he requested that the QRU make the statement as he just wanted to get on with things. It's a bit presumptuous to think that every guy wants to be in...

I'm really struggling to see how the organisation announcing it rather than Simmo is a problem at all. We see countless times where CEO/CFO's who's contracts aren't renewed, it's announced by the company and the individual if leaving on good terms will address it. This is seriously mountain...

Did I miss something that suggests this didn't occur? I would have thought a chat was had with Simmo prior to the announcement.

If my practice group/firm doesn't hit budget/KPI's we still get paid, but we don't get bonuses and that's outta the juniors control. So, without a bonus, the hours we put in means I'd get more cash per hour being an Uber driver or folding clothes at DJ's. So if RUPA has an opinion on that...

Well, depends on where you ask. I'm sure within the QRU Carpark, it'd be an unpopular opinion ;)

So, if Quade and Nabuli are on the field at the same time, what are the odds the Wallabies will be down to 14 men thanks to a brain fade? Does it just double the 5% chance that Quade normally brings or is there a greater statistical increase?

Dropping Quade won't solve anything on the issues that are hampering the team. Discipline and defence is our undoing. If you're wanting to drop people to make a statement, I'd suggest you'd be looking at Nabuli, Frisby and Kervi are your target men. The first two must be close to the most...

You'd have to think that at this stage of his career where you spend more time on the sidelines than you do on the pitch, that the curtain should be falling? Unless CFS is on bugger all money, having him on the books would be a huge liability and that cash could be used to retain a promising U20.

Wouldn't surprise me if I end up with a few death threats from this one. BUT, if Richie and Dan Carter played in any other International Team, they would never have been as dominate and it'd be debatable if they came close to being considered as the GOAT's. Reason being, they were extremely...

Looking back, the last three games Quade's started after his suspension we've scored 14 tries and conceded 13. The games Quade was suspended and Jake was starting we scored 4 and conceded 14. Taking away that is some horrible defence, can you really say with a straight face that Quade is the...
