Fuck the small things, I'm just over the moon the we have a 1 on Robinson and a 3 on Kepu.

Team was announced a couple days ago, well before the cyclone. Is there any particular reason why we announce a team 2+ days in advance? Surely they can announce it that day?

Is it really hard for a group of our best players to hit the ball with pace instead of being flat footed off a one off ball from the ruck?

Not too sure about anyone else, but if a company gave me the sack there's no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be returning.

Doctors are accustomed to being on call and are more than willing to forgo a beer for half a day while watching the rugby. It's not that big of a call for them to hold back until 5:00pm to have one (I would dare say they wouldn't be having a drink until 3:00PM onwards). Give them a comfy seat...

Through the two different schools Ive been involved in, there has always been a doctor on duty (granted its a father on duty). But if the schools can organize a doctor for the day or half day, surely the clubs can do the same.

The Brumbies and Reds have a history of being bore fest's. Has everyone wiped from their memory the 3-6 game at Suncorp in 2007?

Not sure I quite agree with this. Australia seems to have a curse at the moment with Fly Halves and there's talk that Beale might not be fit enough to play. So that leaves us with Quade who only has 120 minutes under his belt and Barnes. While I don't think Harris is the best attacking Fly Half...

How did Vuna make the squad and Cummins misses out?

Alexander hasn't shown that he's in form scrummaging wise. More importantly you're playing him on a side he hasn't played all year consistently which is a huge problem in itself.

This is fine. I never said the concept was bad. I simply said the execution of the ad wasn't up to standard. A shit is still a shit and unappealing even if it's not compared to something whipped up by a Michelin star chef!

Just because it didn't cost the ARU anything doesn't automatically make it a good idea. If the "brand" had any pride they wouldn't have done a half-arsed attempt at showing they're affiliated with the Wallabies.

Honestly, it's a piss poor effort to generate support. A 15 year old who knows Flash probably made the "ad". Before the last black screen I would have had no idea that it was even relevant to the Wallabies. I'm not sure why any brand would want their name associated with such a lackluster ad...

If you get more than X you miss Y games (I can't remember if its 3 cards and 1 game).

Am I the only one who's glad to see Brett return to his original club ;) From what I hear, there's also talk about Laufutu coming back from France to play in the remaining games?

Eventually that will be the case, but what timeframe is that acceptable? 2,5,10 years? You don't, but you need to spend the cash to keep them. Otherwise it's a massive cycle of finding talent, developing them and playing finals rugby.

Ok, fair points on not throwing teams to the wolves, but if we're going to adopt that approach then ensure the rules across all Australia teams are consistent, transparent and easy to navigate. Currently, four of the five teams are restricted and placed in perpetual limbo by the salary cap...

So you've got two locks and a half back there? Anyway, that's far from the point. As Reg pointed out, Link will look within and I guess I should have expressed myself in a better way, but he managed to sum it up in a couple of words.

Different scenarios, from memory no-one had offered Samo or any of those (other than Daniel Braid(?)) a contract. We're talking about spending time and money that goes in developing a player not filling in a injury void. It's always been said that having this fifth team will broaden our...
