Really. Because you can't ever seem to wait to jump on here and tell us all how shit you think Australian rugby is. On a site where a fair mountains of negativity gets lumped, your posts are just about the most obnoxious. Judging by numerous other posters, I am not the only one who thinks so...

Well, we've doubled our quota of attacking kicks.

Willie O took at least one line out. In the 91 Final leading to the try. Maybe we should have thrown to him more.

I haven't seen enough of Maranta to know if it is justified - but I think it is completely shit form by Martin. Sure, public scrutiny is part and parcel of being a pro athlete, but bagging him so savagely is uncalled for. I notice that social media has largely joined the sledge fest. It...

We've had a lower impact, higher work rate backrow for a couple of years. Maybe our balance has now gone a bit far the other way but I'm at least happy to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

3. Genia 2. Pocock 1. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

QC (Quade Cooper) is either at 10 (which I doubt) or misses out for mine. I know he has been playing 15 for Toulon, but he doesn't have the versatility for a test reserve for mine.

No - I didn't miss them. He has some works ons, like every 20 year old player has. I'm not sure it is fair on that limit sample to say he has 'massive problems' but if he does than that will certainly hold him back. I'm not suggesting he be picked for the Wallabies - I said I would be...

Magnay has impressed me from what I've seen. Looks a real good prospect and, importantly looks like he really works hard off the ball. It'll be interesting how he figures in team selection next year.

I am always the optimist in the off season, and I see plenty of potential in the Reds roster. Landing Cooper, or an alternate good 10, will be paramount. On the whole though, one of the things I feel is reason for hope is that, IMO, the Reds problems are able to be addressed. I don't believe...

I've always been a fan of Charlesworth, but his criticism is both ungracious and uncalled for in my view. Firstly, this group of girls, like the hockey teams and basketball teams, have no doubt made enormous sacrifices to win this gold. More to the point, one of the reasons that this is such...

Well - a couple of problems solved. 11. E Tonegato 13. C Caslick & 14. E Green.

Nabuli was one of the few guys who I thought consistantly tried to support the line breaks. I wouldn't say his work off the ball was outstanding, but given it was his first year back in rugby, I thought it was pretty good. He seems to me the sort of player, like Rod Davis was, who could build a...

Which coach doesn't have their favourites. Normally they are players they are familiar with who they have coached previously.

Yeah sure - But I think you've missed what the debate is here. What rational decides who is best. No one here is arguing for Israel Folau to be left out, but in a lot of positions it's far less clear cut. The reality is you're dealing with a lot of players who bring all sorts of differences to...

To be honest, after last years World Cup I'm not sure how Giteau's value could be questioned. I thought he was one of our best. I can't think of another back who is in genuine contention who is a better defensive organiser. I guess we do all see things differently.

But we are talking about the Wallabies - we need to pick teams to win each and every game. If Cheika thinks Giteau & AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are better options than To'omua & whoever else, he should be picking them. I am not sure if I'm misunderstanding your post BR - but including guys like Joost & Mason in...

Early this year, I suggested Ready should be the next picked hooker, in front of Hansen, if TPN wasn't available (he was injured at the time). It became irrelevant when TPN came back, but in hindsight I think it would have been a mistake. I can understand why the England series & super rugby...

Sorry, not being a smart arse, but I don't get that. These issues worsen the problem, and yes, the do increase the difficulty for a half to get away a quick and effective pass, but the quality of Phipps pass is not due to someone else's short comings. His passing quality is sub par for a...

I guess opinions vary. I remember one State of Origin series where Hayne was pratically man of the series on a losing team. I reckon he was in the top 5 players before he left. Also, what he achieved in NFL seems to be vastly underestimated. To even get picked in a game day squad was a massive...
