Brrrrrrrrrrrr! Great stadium to watch rugby at, but Jeebus it was friggen cold for a queenslander! Yay reds!

Yep, well......... Occam's razer and all that.

I can't imagine the advantage for Tomane in coming up here. At the Brumbies he is well coached and constantly in the running for the wallabies. Conversely.........

True. Some good points.

A very valid point. I guess my reasoning is that what will ultimately produce the best results for Australian rugby is 5 successful super rugby franchises (both financially and results wise). This would be the breeding ground for good quality players across the board that would mitigate the...

(I would rather they piss the top ups off altogether and split that money in some manner to (a) increase the match payments for test matches and (b) increase funding to the super rugby franchises. I am not sure of the total dollar value allocated to top ups, so not confident about what the...

That Foxsports article says pretty categorically that Shipperley is off elsewhere, but does not mention where. Does anyone know?

What the hell does Murdioch press have to do with what I said? Way to go off on a tangent and be ireelevant. Judging by the responses from @Qwerty51 and @Cyclopath, others have quite clearly seen the point I was making and went straight to the heart of the matter. I said I wouldn't respond...

I responded prior to reading your piece. I won't retract what I wrote because I do find he skews things for his target audience - but I won't continue it further.

^^^ He like, like the other two dudes on The Roar all know who they work for and who their target markets are. If they are astute rugby critics, then they have long ago sold their sole to the dollar which binds them to their respective employers. Mention local player's name in favour of...

I really enjoyed the tussle last night. I thought both teams' defensive efforts were supremely stifling (without having to resort to constant cynical infringements as well!!). I wonder whether the ground had a big influence of the way the game was perceived, because it seems that quite a few...

Yellow card - I bet you guys wish we had some more reds on the field now: tries when the opposition are down a man are the reds specialty. :P

I think Foley played well, the defensive structure for the first 50 was pretty impressive.

If you are referring to my post, it was really just a thinly veiled "Richard Graham is not much of a coach" post actually, more than a "good on the rebels for a great signing" post. I couldn't figure out which emoticon to adequately elucidate the sentiment, sorry.

I particularly like how his stylist has matched his hair to the jersey logo - the attention to detail is a good sign that he has turned the corner.

I think it's a great thing for Australian Rugby that Placid is off elsewhere - he may be exposed to a different kind of coaching and mentoring that takes him to a much higher level. If he is all that everyone says he will be, then he needs to be exposed to quality coaching to allow him to...

Reading through several comments here and summarising: At the rebels Phipps' passing is poor because other players were often not ready even though he was not expected to deliver such quick ball and; At the tahs Phipps' passing is poor because he is expected to deliver quick ball (can't take...
