If Stade Francaise want him, they will get him. Money.

Gordon had a bit of bad luck, based on the commentators' opinions of a try each way: one that the commentators believed Gordon should have had, but didn't, and one the other way for us. 14 points, I guess. On the other hand, from what I saw, we more than had their measure. Robbie Coleman was...

He is a pretty handy player. Surely not far from Soup status?

Interesting to note that the FFA is "looking for a football person" to be their new CEO. Deep knowledge of the code is obviously a prerequisite for the top job. Pity we did not have any suitable candidates for our top job, apparently (conspiracy theorists go right ahead and tell us who missed...

The televised game is the Woodies hosting the Gay Gordons (this is the traditional name by which the club was known when I was a kid, no offence intended of course, forgive an old hand's sentimentality). Always a poignant occasion for me, Gordon is the first opposition team that I remember...

I don't see it as a whine, exactly, more a bit of sentimentality. I do remember Millner being packed out for derbies against the Wicks, though. When he played for the Woods, Fitzy was about 24 stone!!!

Widely condemned by the leaguies for shortchanging the game on broadcasting rights. Widely considered to have been Rupert's man in the NRL. Presumably he was Frank Lowy's man in soccer. Who will be his patron in our game?

How many players will the Bokke be bringing back from Europe? That might be another factor, one way or the other.

Winning is the most entertaining aspect of rugby that I know of.

Kids that grew up in areas where AFL was played as well as rugby could invariably kick really well. That used to be the case, anyway.

Randwick have got a pretty hot Colts team, they thrashed our boys. So it's you against Warringah in the GF?

Because the total absence of any kicking skills is just so glaringly obvious. Every side in world rugby knows how to beat us, just use a kicking game judiciously. Strengths do not need correction, do they? Weaknesses not only do need correction, they can be corrected. How is it that every...

We have the worst kickers in World Rugby. Prove that I am wrong, as Bob Ellis used to say. Or write.

Errr. Not so sure. Maybe because I am a lot older than you, therefore I have seen a lot more Wobblosses. My quota is full. I have to admit that these days we record the games, and only watch them if we win. Saves a lot of time, and also a lot of blood pressure medication.

Bugger. You want ALL the best players? Who will you play against?

I thought it was Sam Whitelock. Or maybe it was Matera. What a wonderful display in a beaten side.

I think the Jaguares performance is being a bit under-appreciated here. They deserved at least one try, and could have scored more than one, with a bit more discipline.

Impartial. Haw haw haw.

Why have a final? Ask the fans who were there? And those who watched. We have a tradition of playing finals in our leagues. Always have, always will, I reckon.

We enjoyed the game. There was some pretty good rugby on display, I thought.
