THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE DURING OUR TECHNICAL PROBLEM. Our Chief Technical Officer is momentarily out of earshot. As soon as we find him service will be resumed. A full inquiry will be undertaken. Names will be named.

This one is really going to test JON. It's an issue that will make or break his 2nd administration. If Melbourne gets up, it's a feather in his cap. If SANZAR (esp NZ) get the shits with our handling of it, he should lose his job.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is a 13. Mumm is a lock. Giteau is a 12. JOC (James O'Connor) is not ready. How come we can all see these things clearly but Deans-Williams-Nucifora do not? And I'm not being ironic. I think sometimes it is a case of having all week to think about something and making a worse decision than if you had 10...

That's a terrific analysis. It's a simple game.

Club to Wallaby bolters update. Bizarre list of players produced by Brett Harris in Foxsports: http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,26113330-5016959,00.html Nothing would surprise me now. We've seen enough strange selections to expect anything.

JON has handed the RUPA an absolute arse-poling here. Nice work :thumb

Agree with you fp. All three should be there, and talk of giving Mortlock the arse is STILL slightly premature (but not far off).

Agree totally, except that he is about as mobile as Dean Mumm is handsome. But we certainly need a fair bit more of this:

Make Waugh captain and Link coach. Then at least we'd come 2nd in the RWC.

Also, he talks gobbledegook. Just thought I'd throw that analysis in there.

G'day ORN, I've merged your topic with biffo's. Just too many new threads at the moment. I think everyone just needs to get some frustration out of the system this week. I think "the Wallabies capitulated and I'm mad as hell" sums it up. But as to your question - well, a domestic competition...

How can you score tries by passing the ball all the way across the field 10 metres behind the advantage line? As Deans said: it was a wee bit lateral. The problem for the backs is the likelihood of getting turned over every time you go for a run. The adjustment that needed to take place was to...

My comment was directed at everyone. But when you talk about the Brumbies forwards getting better, how do we know who to thank for that? Friend, Melon, Smith, the recruitment of Moore?

See? Plus, source for above article: http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/post/-/maninthestand/2583/1

Ooh, ooh, I already thought of this. Hang on, I'll find it.

Not enjoying the provincialism when it becomes insults. OK? The odd thing about judging coaches is that we have very few resources for doing so. For example, did the team do better or worse? Was that due to other factors? For myself, I really like my coach to say sensible / incisive things at...

Welcome daz, good to have you aboard. In relation to speccy's comment, I have already today asked two posters to cut back on the new topics. I'll leave this thread here, but please everyone take heed. I have created a new category of poster who is not allowed to start new topics or polls. Cheers.

Benn is our best player, bright future, etc. But is he a leader? Might as well have Smith if you're happy for the guy to lead by example only.

I think this is a world-beating team. I think those names are all class. Most teams in the world would be begging for a Sharpe or a Mortlock. Take the following as an example of my philosophy. The backs can't catch or pass. They can't run into holes. They don't chase. They can't beat a man...

Good to have you back, biffo. People were making all sorts of howlers while you wre gone, but I can see that you will bring your firm steadying hand to proceedings.
