Even battlefield surgeons have a better success rate than 25% (75% mortality) In a mass casualty/battlefield scenario, the surgeons will attend to those with the greatest possibility of recovery requiring the least surgical/medical intervention first, in accordance with a robust triage...

Need a bigger sample set than 2 to have any statistical relevance.

Is Rocky Elsom the exception that proves the rule? Who else? The Schoolboy Superhero Rockstar conversion rate is covered in this research paper from James Barkell. http://sydney.edu.au/education_social_work/research/centres_and_networks/ADPN/HMHCE-papers/resources/HMHCE_Article_01_2013.pdf...

Tom Wright would be useful in the Rugby sevens environment. Big loss to Union - No. Mungo fanboy hype. Many Schoolboy Rockstars struggle to make an impact in Colts/Grade footy. There will be another one next year. We only have 150 professionally contracted players in Super Rugby in Australia...

I don't do much facebook. Has there been any positive posts? Were they from genuine fans?

^^^ Only 12 locals out of 45 run on positions (plus up to 10 bench players from Colts 3rds). Wow. Are you sure? Must admit I thought there would be more "local" lads. With numbers like that, it is little wonder Rugby in much of Sydney is struggling.

^^^He may be. A bunch of folk thought he wasn't based on what they saw at Riverview over a week of games. They may think differently under different conditions next time they see the same candidates. Some other Clipboards have rated him highly and consequently he is in the Stars NRC squad.

Your last two years have been the equivalent of a crash course in Waratah Supporting 101, Waratah Victory Expectation 201 and Waratah Disappointment 202. You are well on the road to your Diploma of Waratahness through Recognition of Prior Learning. Not long before you qualify for the much...

They could go far with the ARU HQ then. Similar criteria - Stay close to home after an advertised "world wide search".

^^^ For all the criticisms that are directed towards the ASRU selectors from time to time, it must be remembered that they select for the here and now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing that is not available to the selectors. I am sure that with the benefit of hindsight, they may acknowledge that...

^^ Yeah but only having to dilute the talent in Sydney Metro by 2.5 means that we will win, or at least have a much better chance at it, and in doing so we can keep you folk in the provinces and outstations in your right place. How dare you win stuff? Don't you know the rules and protocols...

One to the Bad Guys. http://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2015/08/18/manly_make_wright_si.html Tom Wright (St Josephs Hunters Hill, NSW 1, Aust Barbarians) is off to learn to count up to 5.

Queenslanders currently too busy organising an exit to the Force, Rebels, Ponies, anywhere, ... ... ... hell even the Waratahs.

It has just been announced that the "about to be published" book "Richard Graham's Coaching Achievements" has been shortlisted to join a very elite list of published works. Click here to see the the other titles on that elite list. Reds HQ must be mighty pissed at Cheika for not winning the...

Just paste the Reds Presser followed by the word "Comment". Make the Headline - "Reds Cunning Plan to improve results for 2016 revealed" or something far more witty than that effort and sit back and watch the comment counter melt down.

I sincerely hope that is typed with your tongue firmly engaged in your cheek. The clever folk at Monty Python’s Flying Circus predicted this 40 years ago: King of Swamp Castle: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built...

When you consider that there are players joining the Randi-Wix Colts programme from Newport, Hoxton Park, Ashcroft, West Harbour, Illawarra, Lemeah, Kogorah, Cowra, Lindfield, Hunters Hill, Coonamble, Vaucluse and many other points of the compass, it is little wonder that the local kids look to...

Dear @RugbyReg, Get something up on the Blog front page ASAP. If the announcement of the reappointment of RG doesn't increase traffic to the blog, then the announcement of the outbreak of WW3 probably won't either.

After the traditional and ritual scapegoating following "disappointing" RWC15 performance against usually unrealistic expectations from National Unions, there will be a few top notch coaches on the Market in early 2016. I'm not sure that they will hang around doing "gardening" waiting for...
