I'm a detractor of Dingo, but I don't see that. I believe his heart is in it. As for White, what a superstar. Who can believe the SARU just discarded him. I love two things from that article. He has made Canberra home and is hungry to win another world cup. You can't deny he deserves another...

Argentina?

Arrgghh, this is a really frustrating subject for me. I fully believe in giving a coach a long enough tenure to have the chance to put a winning team together. But I also believe it has to be the right coach to warrant the faith in him. This shuffling of the deck around a lame duck is just...

Lilo is the form 10 of the Aussie teams (who is eligible to play for Aus). Got to pick him.

How is Samo not up to it? I think he has been quite effective in his time in gold.

I think you have undersold Horwill a bit. I think he can play the enforcer lock role well enough, certainly well enough not to ignore Pyle for fear he isn't tough enough and Pyle will also call the lineout.

I fully expect the Stormers to touch us up this weekend. I don't think we can score enough points against their defence, but with the Force's Jeckyll/Hyde dynamic you just never know, coupled with the strange things that happen when a coach gets boned mid season. Teams that try to take on the...

I think they are too close the clubs. Can be a good thing, but the problem being they are the only dedicated media covering rugby they have no ability to step back and properly criticise without fear of losing their special rights. "Call it like Clarkie" is an abomination and needs euthenasia...

The Reds are young enough that they could win the title again another 5 times just with the squad they have. Just need to replace an ageing Samo and keep Digby from the lure of the yen.

You want smarmy? I'll give you smarmy!!!!!

I would! He was a good servant of the Force after getting stiffed on the 3rd part deal. Even better was his form at the Brumbies last year. We just need to find a coach he is scared of.......

I just hope for the sake of Australian rugby he shows more recruiting nous at the Red's than he did at the Force.

I think the closer truth of the reds woes at current, we as a rugby public are very unforgiving of weakness and have a propensity to over simplify. Admitting that injuries have derailed a season is a sign of weakness and we rarely give each other much leahway in this department. Missing Quade...

Sheehan would have to be in Wallaby 9 calculations. Tough and is still very coachable in his 30's. Be nice if we had a gun 9 on the way and we could use Sheehan until they are ready. Kingi looks to have the most promise of the next crop The biggest concern I can see for the Reds now is that we...

I must say, the Stormers defence is unbeleivable. A combination of well organised, but more importantly the individuals techniques are amazing. So many dominant tackles.

Isn't Paddy retiring. PDV would bring some balls to the Umpire manager role. We are talking about a bloke who tacitly approves of eye gouging and biting. At least under PDV, Digby's tackle wouldn't have been worth 5 weeks.

They revolted against a coach who had given up on them. Andy Friend died a death of a thousand cuts from over egoed players constantly eroding his leadership. The two couldn't be more different.......

Well it is Totality Tony, what else would you expect?

This thread is full of gold!

Is Haskell even a marquee? I thought the whole marquee deal was another ARU rule imposed on our Super sides to help keep them uncompetitive. I didn't realise NZ and SA sides had the same rules? I always through NH guys like Haskell and Michalak just came to the SH to prove they could make it.
