Deans did some good things early on but as time has gone on he has devolved. The awe of invincibility has washed away and I think he has been exposed as not being able to cope under the pressure. It is time to move on and Link is the man for the job. He offers the same qualities as Jake...

Nah I'm not Burkey. :) I just think players should be judged on merit rather than twisted preconceived conceptions. I think their efforts deserve more respect than that. That goes for all players in all franchises.

Agree Regarding the 2010 scrum situation, people need to be aiming at the wonder coach for putting three green players all in the front row. Three bloody years ago now and does anybody actually consider players develop as their careers progress? It really is pathetic. A base line fact is...

Link for next Wallabies coach please. Looking at the CV Sully posted just shows the depth of experience and understanding Link has with how Australia plays it's best rugby over a significant period of time. We all know he is a great at tactics and gets the best out of the players he coaches...

I think I get what you are getting at though please correct me if I am wrong. Are you saying you question why only some people in death are afforded a minutes silence when actually most people in death deserve a minutes silence though only a few of high profile are afforded the gesture, thus...

We can't make major changes at this stage. We go with what we know and will any absentees from within the squad. What people are missing with the selection of Simmons and the trade off for the unbalanced bench is he was/is the insurance against Mowen calling the lineout. The gamble was taken...

Really nice bloke. We met him in that little PCYC cafe at the Caxton Street end of Suncorp. Despite it being game day he still took five to have a chat with us.

Would he want his country brought to a stands still? On another note, let the old man pass away in peace and with dignity. To many people clinging onto him for selfish reasons. I understand how gut wrenching it would be for family (having been in this situation myself) but they have to think...

First of all this could of been worse without doubt but putting the answer to the question you asked in the context of when I was at that age. I most certainly had the common sense not to do it. I certainly had the self control to alter my habits for the sake of myself and others when people...

NZ have some awsome kickers and always have. Before DC was Mertens and before Fox. They must have a fair program for up and comming talent also. We got Harris but his craft was learnt over there. Anscome and Tom Taylor also very accurate.

I know this has been done to death and he has been mentioned far too much to stomach but this Lions system seems tailor made to set Quade Cooper onto. I know he brings his risks but crap there's opportunity for his skill set to exploit.

We are a funny lot us Australians. We have had some unbelievable open sides in this country and it doesn't take long to forget about a certain player and cling onto the man love for another. It's like a bandwagon that is stuck on a roundabout. :)

If Kev is missing I have no issue with Simmons coming in. Noodles to the bench which offers good coverage. In the world of Deans, don't be surprised to see Dennis though. In a non forced selection I would take Slipper over Benny A.

He will because he is pig headed.

Was it any good? Didn't change myself to get my Sharpie fix but have come to just switch off to the rest of them.

I agree. Just maybe a little tinkering to get players combining together. I would add Lilo to the injury list. With only a week he can be in doubt after a concussion. Same with Barnes but I wouldn't have him in their in the first place. I would take Horne at 12 or 13. His previous...

Mogg is deserving. Good addition me thinks.

Whoops, I thought you meant turn overs won. I agree that is bad now.

He really does obfuscate from taking any responsibility himself. Robbie the circumstance really is that you put a player with one cap of experience at flyhalf into the most intense test we have played in some years.

I know he is not the flavor of the month and in trouble but 4 turnovers for Kev is not bad. I have always admired how agile he is for a big fella.
