Or they could just have the law of the land applied to them as it applies to everyone else. Or are you of the view that the ARU are above the law?

The gist of the report as I read it indicated that evidence (presumeably given under oath) to the Senate, differed from what the ARU had in their annual reports/financial statements (legal documents which need to be lodged and signed off as being true and correct by the CEO and the Board). One...

For someone so old and wise, you seem to have a short memory. McKenzie took them to the super rugby final in 2005, semi-final in 2006 and the final again in 2008.

History suggests that that is the hallmark of successful Waratah coaches. Gibson seems a nice guy but is hopelessly out of his depth.

I rate Cron highly, but isn't Gibson still running the show? . Or have I missed something?

We share your pain. It's no coincidence that Wallabies and Boks played two draws this year.

You just bring in a big screen on the back of a truck. Manly do it for every NRL game at Brookvale, I don't think it's that hard. Not that I'm advocating playing super rugby at NSO though.

Wales are poor and getting worse. Only Itlay's presence in 6N keeps them from being wooden spoon favourites.

Yes Gnostic, the even greater tragedy is that even assuming that Cheika was sacked tomorrow, the ARU/RA wouldn't be conducting a worldwide search for the most competant and qualifed person available. As evidence, we now see Kearns on the shortlist as the next CEO. Larkham would be a bigger...

Sadly I don't think we're at rock bottom yet as a game. This is just another symptom of the same disease which afflicts the rest of the body.

IMHO, two things need to be considered in the discussion: 1. the general state of the game in Australia is at it lowest point in the professional era. The performance of the super sides reflects what has happened/is happening at the levels below over an extended period. By any form of...

21 wins out of 22 matches. Oh that the Wallabies could catch Eddie-itis.

You've been on these threads for some time and I assume that the actually read what other people post before making comments like this. Assuming for a moment that you've read anything that I've posted over the years, but I'll give you summary: When I think the Waratahs are playing badly or being...

Comprehensively outlplayed in all aspects of the game. This result accurately reflects the state of the game in Australia and our place in the world. No excuses whatsoever, although I'm waiting for the usual excusemeisters to come up with a few.

Scotland are a much improved side and will be tough to beat at home. There could be plenty of pain headed our way.

</pIf we're going to split hairs as to place of birth, you can add Will Genia PNG and Karmichael Hunt NZ to your list. I'd hate for your statistics to be inaccurate. The fact remains, regardless of your attempts to obfuscate, that over the past 20 years league has made considerable headway in...

Indeed, imagine a national team being bolstered by players born elsewhere. (Would insert a winking emoticon here but the site is on the verge of collapse) See post 10642.

Yes, I can see it might read that way. Perhaps I should have written and essay with properly argued paragraphs and punctuation to make the meaning more clear. I try as far as possible to keep posts brief, but that has its downside. Regardless, I see the results as a significant breakthrough for...

No it wasn't. Just an observation that people from other countries don't get why Hooper gets so much criticism in Australia.
