    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    And yet my only post that you bother to quote,you agreed with my point before commencing a personal diatribe! Quote a couple of mine that you actually disagree with that supports your assertion next time.

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    I was critical of what I perceived was a flawed process in his appointment,not him. I have made some comments about double standards from posters such as yourself,(your previous post was a good example) in regards to how much criticism the coach should bear. I'm struggling to recall any posts...

    Ewen McKenzie: Wallaby Coach

    Is he accountable for anything? Very few see any improvement in any area since he took over.

    Springboks v Wallabies, Newlands, September 28 2013

    Great post and I agree with all of it apart from the bit I quoted. Say Hooper didn't play well,or needs to do x or y. But in the last two years in almost every match,almost every judge was giving Hooper points in the 3,2,1. He has had plenty of impact in all of these games.

    ARU moves to kill off club player payments: A 3rd tier, club rugby and the $60k persuader

    I call bullshit.JON's first action upon his return was to axe the 3rd tier.The only discussions about a 3rd tier from then until his departure was it was a good idea but not affordable. It wasn't the clubs stopping it, JON did that all on his own.

    Springboks v Wallabies, Newlands, September 28 2013

    Irrelevant when you are so shit in the 1st half. We got flogged in the 1st 20,when just desire should have kept us close. Test matches are supposed to be give no quarter for 80, we have been seriously substandard for large parts of every game in the RC.

    How unusual for Simmons to give away a stupid penalty.

    That is also my thinking HJ. The only thing that gives me heart, is generally when everything suggests they are not up to it.The backs to the wall mindset brings out a better than anticipated result.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Disagree Lily, I think it is excellent that they are sourcing well qualified coaches for kids that are not judged as elite. That's what I always considered the value add that GPS Schools provided. Making kids better with excellent facilities and resources. I think it should be applauded.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Have a look at the dispute with the local neighbours about the DA to extend the business studies centre. ''We believe the criticism now being directed at the college is deeply unfair and unreasonable, given that the school has, in effect, bent over backwards to listen and respond,'' Dr Lambert...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    He is in a tricky position,because people have stopped believing his words,and are looking at his actions. Unfortunately for him,the two are poles apart. In retrospect,maybe he should have provided a script for parents of talented sporting kids who categorically do not receive assistance from...

    The difference between Spithil and White....one was working in a time frame of 2 weeks (in the final series) the other had a 2 year wait for the possible opportunity to even compete in the arena(international Rugby)

    I wouldn't make George Pell the template of how to decisively act over sensitive issues. He has presided over many,much more disgraceful actions than those at St Johns College with no result.

    Wendell Sailor and the ARU

    I think the main distinguishing factor, was that the ARU considered Dell to be worth less than his contract value.The amigos were still considered to be "high value assets"

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Fracturing families? I know a few well adjusted families that had their brightest at Grammar and their not so brightest elsewhere. It was just seen as natural,and matching Schools with the kids personalities/needs/strengths. But I'm with you about the culling of the weak.They are not the only...

    You slipped this bit in at the end,like it has little significance? I would have thought that is a serious turn for the worse for Dr L?

    Jake White Quits Brumbies

    The thing is,would the Brumbies want him therefor the next 2 years if he was not emotionally engaged? There is a huge difference in fulfilling contractual obligations,and putting your heart and soul into the job.Results generally reflect this engagement.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    The best way to keep them fair,would be to have these Schools run by men of honour.Especially as they trade on ethics,morals,character building etc. Your assertion that it must be either zero scholarships or totally uninhibited open slather is ridiculous.

    So Rathbone/Vickerman etc should never have been Wallabies? Henry Speight should fuck off home? I'm sure the Logan U 10's coach enjoys your support though.
