I think it is a bit harsh to blame the lawyer in this case. Even Vern Reid sad that it was his understanding that the lawyer was presenting the facts to JOC (James O'Connor) and his people and then reporting back to Rugby WA. He made it quite clear that the lawyer was not behind the problems at all. I think JOC (James O'Connor)...

I really don't think the AFL care about rugby. What extra supporters would he bring to them?

I think it's interesting that his ARU contract hasn't been sorted out. I wouldn't be surprised if he demanded a sabbatical clause or something similar. Seems an odd decision. I really wouldn't be surprised if he went overseas.

I guess so.

It doesn't stop movement at club level in Brisbane. Guess the ARU will enforce it a bit better.

What happens when the Force use a player from the ARU academy in Brisbane to cover for someone who is injured for 2 games, he goes back to the ARU Academy and then the Rebels need someone so call on him to help them out. Is this something that will happen or will they players be aligned with a...

I really hope that the boys do the job. Even after they beat the Cru and the Blues I still worry when we play other Aussie teams. Brumbies players will be looking to justify why they should be selected in the Wallabies squad so they should be up for the game.

When is that going to happen? Are they waiting to see if he makes the finals? Would want to sort it out pretty soon I would have thought as most guys would be trying to lock things away. Unless Foley has been told it is his then I guess there is no rush.

The problem with Australian rugby is the fact we can't take flares into the grounds. They just add to the entertainment.

Some research on the matter http://www.science.unsw.edu.au/news/padded-headgear-won-t-stop-concussion/

If you don't follow Collingwood you have an advantage in life.

I think it could be more a dig at the other codes. AFL has 17 teams at their elite end. In league State of Origin is the pinnacle. In rugby we are all united behind "one team". Also with the expanded Super season when people spend more time supporting one of 5 teams it is just a reminder that we...

You can kick an AFL ball a lot further than a rugby ball but that was massive by Fletcher. I went to a kicking clinic with Craig McRae from the Lions and he managed to get a torp going with a rugby ball by kicking the ball with it pointing straight ahead. Took him about 3 goes then was nailing...

So the ARU have come up with One Team as the slogan for the Wallabies this year. What are peoples thoughts on this. Also they have just launched the new ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBAq3BOqcrM

Samo reckons that part of the reason for the fro is to prevent concussions. Has said he had issues a few years back so stopped cutting his hair.

Your team makes more sense to me than the one Rae picked. Gits should be at 12 but they seem determined to mess up the rest of the backline by playing him at 10.

Out of interest Slim what is the 22 that you would pick for the game?

Can we keep the chat to Rugby. If you want to discuss scholarships there is a thread for that.

The whole point of forums like this one is so people can have their opinion about rugby matters. If you disagree with what RedandBlackAttack is saying that is fine but he is allowed to voice his opinion.

Link yesterday said that he played on the ball more than Robinson but wasn't as strong with ball in hand. Not sure if he was trying to mess around with the Ponies but I think we need someone on the ball as we have plenty of runners.
