You have to watch the nit pickers - they're everywhere

All you happy chappies south of the border get your NRL sample bags (he he)

Chicken leg prop one season... an old rooster cock-a-doodle-doing the next. has to be something in the DNA.

Assuming Jim applied for the job, I can't help wondering that he might of trod on a few toes when he went batting to retain Quad Cooper in rugby. Not that he had a chance anyway - he didn't go to a Sydney GPS school.

Ruggo, I didn't realise you had such pull with SANZAR. To think they have extended the half time break by two minutes to give you more time to make a cuppa. Or is it that the committee of SANZAR also like their half time cuppa.

Er Braveheart, there is more to Australian rugby than " NSW Rugby, Penrith and Parramatta" - areas like Northern Queensland, Perth, Adelaide etc which are screaming out for support in the way of programmes etc to be organised by the ARU and the affiliated state bodies.

No problem at all

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald titled "Deans must reapply, says Pulver" updates the Deans situation: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/deans-must-reapply-says-pulver-20130109-2cgva.html Pulver indeed appears to be media savvy.

Is that for real? Tell me your kidding me

How far do Hawker & Bill Pulver go back as mates - you have to ask the question? Does anyone know?

Besides which, Beale plays an outstanding game at 15, when he is fit. Wasn't he regarded as the world's best 15 in 2011 before the RWC, when everything went to shit.

At this professional level you would expect every player to be 'training the house down'. I f they're not then you have a problem as a coach.

I remember at the start of a rugby season, my new coach said he was moving me from winger to second row (after a growth spurt when I was about 19/20). I flatly refused and said I'd leave the club rather than be pidgeon holed into playing lock. Guess what? I played lock from that day on... all...

Thanks for that info - Owen out then

So with the Super 15 kicking off next month (Feb) I thought I'd have a crack at predicting the Reds squad of 23 (additional prop) for the Brumbies game: 1 Greg Holmes 2 James Hanson 3 James Slipper 4 James Horwill ...
