It will be interesting to see what RUPA has to say about this saga. It looks a lot like double jeopardy from the ARU. Hit him with a massive fine then cut down what they offer him. Genia is injured so maybe they should offer him an incentive only contract too. It another example of why there...

I don't think anyone is asking for Deans to be sacked as a result of the game v England. In isolation it was a good victory and the performance by the team would be acceptable. It's the 5 years of inconsistent performances that lead up to that game that are the major factors in quite a few of us...

Part of the reason I posted what I heard was because of the ridiculousness of it. While I don't think Deans should be the coach I also think a decision should be made before the tour or on the return. If you had faith in him when he left these shores he needs all 4 games to show his wares. While...

If they struggle against the Italians and loose to the Welsh, who aren't playing well, then his position doesn't look so good. Injuries and the playing group showing more commitment saved them tonight. If England took their shots at goal in the second half it could well have been a different...

Thanks Hugh

http://riversiderugby.rugbynet.com.au/ They still exist as a Junior Club.

They would have to play Subbies and it would be interesting to see what area they moved to. What are their motives behind doing this ECA?

Just sent in my application for Level 3 Coaching Course. It closes today for anyone interested. If I get accepted I might do some blog articles about it. It's a big IF though.

Not sure many want Logan to step up to Premier. They have good facilities but a lot of work would be need to be done before they are anywhere near ready to be a Premier team. On field they don't justify promotion as they didn't make finals in 1st Grade and the rest of their teams struggled...

If the Reds are looking at cutting down his time Sunnybank will have a team in the Darwin 7's in January. What are the chances of that being taken as one of his weeks? Simmons has played 7's beofre and is a registered member of Sunnybank.

At least if that happened Campo wouldn't produce poorly executed kicks or hit a forward runner off every play.

A few Aussie teams are taking part in the Coral Coast 7's this weekend. Sunnybank managed a good first up win against Sydney Uni running away 47-0 victors.

TD all I have seen is a proposed Premier draw. I'm not sure what is happening below that at the moment. After this year I can see good reason for Redlands to drop out as they struggled to filed teams for many games and you would think it would be better for the club to drop back to subbies and...

I guess the choice of who should replace Deans will depend on the timing of the decision. If it was to be done before the end of the tour then Totalitarian Tony or Nucifora would be the logical choices as an interim coach before a proper recruitment process can be undertaken. This option scares...

A few years ago when the AB's where in town they had the afternoon off. Dan Carter spent it at Ballymore practising his kick offs, drop outs and other general play kicks with one of the back rowers, can't recall who, who was practising his kick receptions. Our guys don't seem to do this.

The US women's team are on tour in Europe. They play Italy on the weekend. Pity the Aussie women can't do the same. http://usawomensrugby.org/next-stop-rome/

Heard a rumour that if the Wallabies don't win this weekend Dean will be gone (was a 3rd hand story). Not sure that it has much credibility as it would be crazy to axe him mid tour. I guess Nucifora would be the candidate to step in if it was to happen.

Here's the reason that I want AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13 It seems like a long time ago now. I guess the big difference is that all of the players in that backline offered a threat whereas now opposition players can hang off some guys because the don't offer much.

With Horwill and AWH back to full fitness I think we'll be covered and McDulling can come off the bench if he's not playing 6.
