    WJ it could be a compliment as well, you do show loyalty. Deleted.

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    WJ - slowly getting there reading 4 phases ahead with vision is different to constructing 4 phases ahead - constructing 4 phases ahead is what the Tah's have been doing - it is boring and repetitive even, the oposition is knowing our phases ahead of what we (the Tah's) play. Reading the play is...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    110% agree - it was a horror to watch. Cooper has a rugby brain that has the uncanny ability to read the play 4 phases ahead, how, I have no idea. Watch him change sides, direct players around him, and orchestrate play. It is a skill that is that cant be coached, coach around him, understand...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    WJ, I put the World Cup lack of success down to the Game Plan - In my view it was 10 man rugby orientated alot of box kicks landing outside the opposition 20. You are right it didnt transfer to the world cup, link had 2 season to work with the reds and understood what made them tick, Genia...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    Good ???? - what is good, what is bad, I am not saying against Wales he was not deserved of MOTM, I'm not saying he cant play 12 and hasnt been good in the 12 Gernsey, I'm saying I dont think he is best suited to 12. I like him a s a player and I preferred C Spenser to A Merhtens as well -...

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    Barnes is not a 12. He had a solid games against the Welsh yes, but how many tries did we score? Did we play Northern, or Southern Hemisphere rugby? Cooper is a world class player, plays the game 3 or 4 phases ahead, and can ignite a back line. Before anyone comes back questioning this the Reds...

    Salary cap shenanigans

    WJ - lets not be silly, were does it end then. Rebs will ask for more because playes need to relocate for 6 months, Pony's will ask for more because they have players relocate for 6 months.

    Salary cap shenanigans

    I was thinking Souths, I do think they may be just as much in the wrong or to blame as the Tah's themselves. If they did breach the cap, why? Player retention and the need of a 3T, how many players have Souths / lost over seas this year? No reason to breach the Salary Cap laws but it does...

    Taps is a 12, I see Barnes better suited to 15.

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    I Cooper / Barnes / Inside / Outside are 2 different positions running different angles with different distribution skills. I was purely throwing another combo out there based on; NSW - Horne people have accurately accounted on his 2012 form / AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) a could be # 13. REBS - Inman he went okay /...

    AGREED, and I'd like to see Taps, and Andrew Smith in the Centre's

    Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

    Stability and Game plan will build success over time. If I remember correctly McQueen's first tour was to Argentina and we left with our tail between our legs. There was stability within the core player group, and well thought out game plans that were STUCK to. He didnt walk into a team of...

    Salary cap shenanigans

    I don't think it is Randwick though.

    Who would you bring into the Wallabies?

    Rod and McQueen

    Salary cap shenanigans

    I think it is the Tahs and i also think the club is implicated and just as responsible in the shenanigans as well. Possibly to stop another player heading overseas again as a number have been lost already.

    Anyone bold enough to guess - the club?

    Great news and result after the previous week, and Nths got up over Uni.

    Shute Shield 2012

    Knuckles, I to have enjoyed the games since the split - last week was great, and we were unlucky in 2's and 3's as they could have gone either way. I wish we didnt have to wait until mid April before it started. Spreading the talent, but lets not lose home grown talent - Kingston is an example...

    Western Force 2013

    I actually think Foley will do very well over there. The Tahs have never won a tittle, I hope there are more swords still standing at the Tahs. Foley, I think has been there for 5 years, I think moving on will beneficial for both parties. I just hope the Force are able to recruit for him.

    Learning from the enemy – an affordable Third Tier competition

    It is a blank canvas, start the Shute Shield earlier than mid Apr, after the first round my suggested 3T starts, in conjuction with the second round of the Shute Shield. I do see importance for a number of reasons that a 3T game follows a First Grade game. The Manly Daily came up with a smart...
