The old brigade. You mean those of us who have put a lot of effort into the game over a lot of years? Or do you just mean anybody of any age who understands the limitations under which we function. Rugby is not a local code, it is an international code, centrally governed, from Dublin. Our...

The Without naming names, there are some posters with some very errrr unusual opinions. I would not waste too much time trying to debate the indisputable. AFAIK, just about every rugby club in Sydney would welcome new volunteers with open arms. And anybody who has a bit of energy and is...

Rennie has disqualified him. In one of his early interviews Rennie stressed the importance of kicking.

And there are fairly regular complaints about scheduling in the NRL. Impossible to please the viewers, and the competitors, and the broadcaster equally.

Mumps is potentially pretty serious for adults. Hope this blows over quickly.

He did not benefit from being thrown into situations by Chubby that he was not ready for.

Are any of these assertions based on your first hand knowledge of these horrible people? I have known quite a few of them during the years, in particular old Wallabies who were always happy to go anywhere to promote the game, who had played the game as amateurs, and continued to work for nothing...

That's the game we are part of. The only way to go for a radical approach would be for us to establish a new game.

I have said it before and will say it again, who would want the job? That is the first requirement for the search. Age is irrelevant, and I would guess that the potential candidates will all be from the older echelons. People who are not looking for a career enhancing position, a step up...

The President of the USA is about that age, the current front runner for the Democrats is older. Incidentally, the search is being conducted by a highly regarded executive search organisation (Korn Ferry). I can assure you that they look everywhere. It did occur to me, however, (unworthy...

Can you explain that a bit more please? Are there barriers stopping schoolboys from trying out for their local club when they leave school, or are there not enough incentives? Or both?

To'omua is a plodder, JOC (James O'Connor) is a thoroughbred. Maybe there is room for both of them, 10/12, either order, mix it up and confuse the opposition.

Sight unseen, I have not seen him play, but another couple of years in the NRL will knock him around a bit. The effect on his body might make him think about our game a bit more than otherwise would. But will we need another loosie? Doubt it. On the other hand, will we need another 12? Maybe...

From what I have seen, they could still give the conference leadership a shot. This is a horror road trip. Two honourable losses, I think that is a pass.

Part of Jake White's legacy. The exit from the 22 was the other one. Maybe they should spend a bit more time on that. Very unlucky loss.

We are kidding ourselves if we think we will get product on one of the main channels, except for Test matches. Maybe this is a bit far-fetched, but I reckon it might work on NITV. They have a helluva lot of sport. Not sure about their reach.

Maybe some sort of auction, with each competing team given a number of points to spend, and each available returning Soup player given a putative points value. An auction with real money would actually be pretty good television, come to think of it, if there is any money, that is.

I must have fast forwarded through those "highlights". But being the biggest attacking threat in a side with no attack is not exactly a great compliment. He looked ponderous and slow to me.

Is it only me, or was Jake Gordon the worst on field?

Fast forward is your friend. There are a few moments worth watching. It is going to be a long season for Tahs fans, the few of us who are left.
