    Can anyone explain to a UK based numpty- how can the ARU stop an Aussie play?

    Noddy, Not wanting to be unkind but first you have to find a franchise that wants you and asks the ARU for permission. Then and only then could you run a restraint of trade case.

    Can anyone explain to a UK based numpty- how can the ARU stop an Aussie play?

    He's got an Aussie passport. That means he is an Australian who is being denied a work opportunity for an arbitrary reason. With a good lawyer he will make a fortune from a restraint of trade case without having to lift a finger and the ARU system will be in disarray (and financially down the...

    The Tahs

    People who haven't travelled a lot tend to think every long trip causes jet lag. The problem is huge travelling west to east and minor travelling east to west. Remember two years ago Link took the Tah's to Africa, arriving Thursday and they still performed well. Blaming the Tah's loss to the...

    The Tahs

    Lee, me too. Watching him sweep into the backline from fullback and just cut some teams to shreds, it had me cheering delirously. He was seriously quick, with great vision for a gap. But I saw enough last year to think that Turner from fullback had some of those same skills. We have the players....

    Waratahs vs Lions. Sydney.

    I don't agree that his squad's strengths preclude good attacking ball-in-hand rugby. The squad has some wonderful talent but the coaching team cannot imagine a gameplan that will harness it, so they revert to safety-first. Its the selection of the starting 15 that does that. Select Mowen on the...

    Waratahs vs Lions. Sydney.

    If the teams been announced with Anese at fullback, what the heck are they doing training with a different backline? Is Hickey playing mind games? If you didn't recognise the other winger it would have been Betham or Sidey I guess. Nadolo is very hard to miss.

    Waratahs vs Lions. Sydney.

    Wher do I queue for the Fire Hickey Club?.... he doesn't even watch the game his team is playing. He's picked Anese again who has not made a linebreak yet, Carter who can't run attack lines or put his winger away, Barnes who doesn't know what to do, kept Mowen on the bench and consigned Nadolo...

    Tahs Acadmy V Gods Academy

    It wasn't a slur on Cornelson, anyone who scores four against the Blicks is a legend. I still get goosebumps when I remember that game.

    Tahs Acadmy V Gods Academy

    Sometimes (not often) scoring four tries just meant you were in the right place at the right time and didn't have to do anything except fall over the line. Did anyone see the game and make some critical comment about performances? The Tah's and Red's sites' comments give no real indication of...

    The Hickey should stay thread

    LG: Is that 3 games of any type or 3 S14 games? If there had been injuries in SA and he played would they have to put him on contract? Schmoo has had one good game this year (Bulls) and not been impressive in the other 3. Why wouldn't Hickey try both Betham and Nadolo off the bench to see how...

    The Hickey should stay thread

    To those who say Hickey should stay, our best young talent is going to be lost, because Hickey is TOTALLY conservative and always looks to the "don't lose" option. That is especially true in selection. Palmer will go because he can't even get a bench spot here. That is an absolute tragedy...

    Waratahs vs Sharks. Sydney.

    I agree. Although Baxter is playing well Palmer should get a start for the Lions game with Baxter on the bench. I would also play Kepu and give Robinson a full week off to rest his shoulder. Only risk is that either Palmer or Baxter would have to go to LHP if Kepu got injured, but I think that...
