Now, let me think about this. I wonder whether BHP has any people on their board with mining experience? Being a director is not rocket science. You are given papers to read, you meet, you talk about the proposals in the papers, then you vote. It does help if you know something about the...

I have done a fair bit of recruiting in my time. Sometimes the brief is clear, occasionally it is not, or the organisation who is doing the recruiting realises that there is no perfect candidate. In this case, the brief certainly is not clear (although we can all agree that the national team...

Castle was given the job because there was no better candidate, I assume. Her ability to introduce change will depend on budgetary, contractual, and other practical constraints. Not to mention her understanding of the game, and the needs and wants of all the stakeholders. I am an old boy, I...

Nothing anybody does will suddenly conjure up a new world class fly-half for us. Ditto nothing will suddenly turn Izzy into a decent kicker. I could go on. But it is too depressing.

Johnson used to kick a lot when he played SS. They would get on like a house on fire.

Anybody can voice an opinion, as long as it agrees with Kiap.

Too obvious.

Without in any way defending Grey, who on this earth could devise a defensive strategy that could compensate for the weaknesses of Foley and Beale? Particularly against teams with big 12s.

I would not know, one way or another. But good luck to the team.

We? There is no "we". That is the nub of the problem. For a revolution to succeed there has to be some sort of unifying aim, and the revolutionaries have to be willing to make sacrifices. Unimaginable.

Johnson and Wisemantel both played for the mighty Woods. Maybe the game needs an Eastwood Mafia.

If he had the right mind set, he could have played just about anywhere in the backs.

Mate, everybody is out of touch with each other, from what I can see. Is there a local sport that is more diverse and splintered than rugby? Maybe loig, but then again they have enough dosh to paper over the cracks.

The current playing and coaching setup is a good place to start. At the very least there has to be genuine cooperation across and between all levels of the game. Can that happen short of some kind of catastrophe? I doubt it.

It would be great if the whole ship could actually sink. Then all the rats might decide that we all have to work together for the sake of survival. At the moment there are far too many vested interests. It is splendidly simple (and incredibly stupid) to blame all our woes on the RA Board.

Hunt is a Wallaby. If he settles down to it, he could still be in the RWC squad. He certainly has the ability.

It is worth tossing a few ideas around. From where I sit we are in deep doo-doo as an elite sport in Australia. We need something really creative to get us out of the hole we are in.

No, of course not. Do you believe a domestic rugby competition is an adequate comparison to Sheffield Shield?

We don't like the Sheffield Shield much, though, do we?

Have NOT done well for a decade?
