He could try, however Giteau is not a worthy exemption to policy (in my bias eyes anyway).

Ditto - it is called an exemption to policy. Good mitigants, and good reasons support him wearing the gold jersey again. The policy in place is good - his form created the thought, and how many players could state a case as strong as Smith, that'll own what he will add to the playing group.

Away game vs Two Blues, Parramatta 4.30pm Merrylands RSL Oval Note 4.30pm kick off. The Two Blues are holding an Islander event and so a later first grade game. Of course the MMMs formidable islands contingent will be most welcome (after the game!). “To be honest I am a bit nervous about the...

Depth in the wingers, alex will be keeping pressure on hoops, helu, is yarrington coming back?

Play ball - interesting the above points, Uni's are significantly higher than all others. Their first grade colts alone is more than other clubs have combined

Peterson is injured, dont know about Atkins, and Chapman

Some great work, a Premier club developing and nuturing thier young talent. http://www.manlyrugby.com.au/news-mainmenu-101/latest-news-mainmenu-100/715-manly-marlins-academy-xv-vs-teh-might-of-nz-south-island-rugby

YUP - but the tribalism is great as well.

Having Smith involved in the squad will provide benifit to the whole team - even Pockock was of the same opinion prior to his injury. Fairy tail ending yes - but if his form warrants it - why not as theres the extras; he has the skill of hooper / gill / pockock combined. then the experience factor.

Braveheart thanks for your response, and the detail you went into - Policy. I'm in an industry that has strict policiy. When there are mitigants things proceed outside of this policy without the need to change it. The ARU policy, and the purpose it is in place serves a good purpose and I do...

Game plan set by Deans was very questionable, and even in QC (Quade Cooper) absence last year there was no change.

I thought it would have been as simple as that, he told the ARU he's retire at the end of the Super Season. ARU accepted that. They needed him so they asked and he said yes. Oh well Brumbies / Jake has negotiated with Suntory that Smith stays for the remained of the Super Season whilst ARU...

I had thought Sharpe had formerly announced his retirement, but he was called back - how does that fit in with the above clauses that were referrenced.

Well written - 2 completely different individuals handling Deans in different ways; Deans is possibly the problem. George dealt (sabatical), is dealing with it his way (now on the park showing quality). QC (Quade Cooper) dealt with it his way. Attending a world cup with one specialist 7, and constantly kicking...

Deans is possibly the problem. George dealt, is dealing with it his way. QC (Quade Cooper) dealt with it his way. Attending a world cup with one specialist 7, and constantly kicking away possession. Number of trys scored last year. ??

Jake White and the Brumbies are being pro active trying to retain Smith. Whilst all i read is that the ARU is sitting on their hands doing nothing. Watching this transpire, or reading it the way it reads is as frustrating as watching the Wallabies over the past 2 years. Whether it being in the...

I just would love to see him play for the Wobs again

I never said he didnt respect the jersey, I'm sure he did!! My thoughts only - I was dissapointed he left for the coin instead of staying here and wearing the gold. Just me no need to worry.
