He would have played more for Australia if he didn't run his mouth off so much in the change room (and poss off everyone in the process).

Spot on. The thing I worry about is trying to keep both weeks and PAE in the same side. Both are starting quality super players and it will be tough to keep if they both don't get regular time.

Also, the negotiations have stalled because KB (Kurtley Beale) refused the initial offer. He still may walk due to the crap deal.

Hmm... Bill (on phone): Hey Sir Cheik, it's little bill here Cheika: Yes Mister Fluffy Bunny Bill: Erm, the panel found Kurtley not guilty. That means he can play. do you wan... Cheika: Bill, before you finish that, what do you think my fuckin' answer will be. Get him on the next first-class...

I know, to me it's absolute crap. Meanwhile, two careers have been shattered due to this episode. no one wins here, all except KB (Kurtley Beale)'s legal team.

These are the mitigating factors..

Also bear in mind that, whilst the ARU didn't terminate his contract, they don't ahve to offer him a new one as it runs out soon.

Guilty of sending the first text, not guilty of sending the more serious text. Wank words a plenty methinks

I tried holding my breath one...passed out in the end.

That answers one of my questions - when is _this_ stage of the saga going to be over...

This is not fir the first time he has done something like this. Search this thread for a rapsheet of past indiscretions. At some point you can only give someone so many chances.

Can anyone enlighten me to the whereabouts of Max Lahiff? I haven't seen his name crop up on any team sheet and I wasn't aware he was injured.

Since he went to Scotch College and plays at Quins, You could say that. Excited to see him get a run, he's been training the house down and is ready for this. Considering the losses to the Wallabies Squad this is a very good team. Great to have Sefa back, although I hope he isn't too...

Referee of the year - Steve Walsh hands down. Based on the Rising v Brisbane City game alone!

Looks like our social media brothers over on the fox crowd are a bit pissed off too. http://thecrowd.foxsports.com.au/t5/Rugby/John-Eales-quot-over-rated-quot-according-to-Alan-Jones/td-p/37717?sf5362623=1

He was originally a 4 - 6 week proposition with a busted thumb. Might be on the four week side if we need him, hopefully the Rebels medical staff have worked some more wonders.

Looks a good team. We are going to need experienced heads to close out the match, so I'd consider burgess over Meehan. Although Meehan has been playing well. Sa'aaga (sp?) over Tuiatua as the spare LHP? Not sure if Cruz is covering that. Wingers have been doing well for us so we can leave...

Congrats to Higgers, Luke Jones, Tom English and Sean McMahon who have all made the 2014 EOYT. Well done lads. Now, the headache begins on how we cover the loss of everyone. Higgers hasn't played with the rising all year so that's covered. Jones and English I suspected by Sean McMahon is a...
