    Halangahu - Carter - Cross: Worst NSW Midfield Ever?

    You may disagree, but you're wrong. The Waratahs management was as discomfited by Burke's remarks as everyone else was. And your subsequent example perfectly supports my case, which is that Burke has always been a dick.

    Media alert: Australian rugby union to announce major decision on the future of rugby

    And ties. A rugby jersey is just far too casual without a nice tie.

    A fit, in-form Horne raises the possibility of: Genia Cooper Ioane JOC (James O'Connor) Horne AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Beale

    Media alert: Australian rugby union to announce major decision on the future of rugby

    Blaming Greg Growden is a generally safe strategy. But you're right about the press. With a very few exceptions, they're either cheerleaders or prophets of doom, and rarely ever anything between those extremes.

    Halangahu - Carter - Cross: Worst NSW Midfield Ever?

    I don't think it is fair to lay Matt Burke's views at the door of the Waratahs setup. He's always been a bit of a dick. But a very good goal kicker, which is why he was employed.

    Media alert: Australian rugby union to announce major decision on the future of rugby

    That wasn't aimed at you, WorkingClassRugger. It's a general theme that exercises my indignation from time to time.

    Media alert: Australian rugby union to announce major decision on the future of rugby

    That makes no difference to the Eeyore chorus. We're shit. We used to be good, but now we're shit. Nothing is right. The coach is shit. The management is shit. The players are shit. Everything is shit. Rinse and repeat. Whatever happened to pride in the achievements of our sportsmen? It...

    Waratahs 2011

    That is a seriously degraded Waratahs backline!

    Cameron Shepherd my bet for Drew Mitchell's vacant wing spot.

    I don't think Deans plans to play the RWC like that at all, simply because we go from one of the strongest to one of the weakest teams when we play that style.

    Mitchell Out Of World Cup?

    It came out very easily for years afterwards, with even slight sideways pressure, until I started long-distance running which sorted it out.

    Who would be Wallaby captain for RWC if Rocky isn't fit?

    The problem with Horwill is that he's very rarely fit for the Wallabies. You need someone who will consistently be on the pitch. Otherwise he'd be an excellent captain.

    Mitchell Out Of World Cup?

    Serious dislocation doesn't necessarily mean soft tissue damage. I dislocated my knee at almost 90deg with no broken bones and I was fine in a month.

    Halangahu - Carter - Cross: Worst NSW Midfield Ever?

    Out of interest, who have been the 'decent 10s' in the professional era? .i.e, better than Beale for example.

    He should be reaching his peak now.

    Reds v. Tahs MOM

    He should be captain, in place of talks-like-a-Rock-y.

    Giteau = 10x Fainga'a, a journeyman at best.

    Mitchell Out Of World Cup?

    Well, Tonga have selected him. That seems be about the limit of it at the moment.

    The Ongoing Tragedy of the Waratahs

    But how can they possibly all be up for a shot? If they can count they'll quickly realise there are only one or two spots for twenty hopefuls.

    Mitchell Out Of World Cup?

    Skippy, I think that for all his inspirational qualities, Mortlock is just too slow to play the Wallabies ensemble game, and he has never been a success at 12, whenever he has played there. He is also a shadow of his former self. I'm not sure that Turner falls off tackles: his completion rate...
