    Shute Shield 2013

    If you think these guys train any harder or any smarter than Sydney Uni you are mistaken.Most SS clubs are doing similiar things, but are not as well resourced. I suppose where we diverge is the worth we each put on NYC. IMO they actually de skill them to prepare them for NRL. It's safety first...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Cherry pick also rans of another code? There would be more than 50 guys in the SS that would have been good enough to play NYC but not NRL, if that was their career path of choice. Why should he be given an opportunity in front of these guys? I'm not saying he should never be given an...

    Shute Shield 2013

    There are 16 x 25 players preferred to him in the NRL. So the wraps aren't that huge.

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    It would have been productive to send him anywhere but the club he is going to. lets put it in perspective, it is basically a ceremonial signing. No one expects he will play a substantial number of games for any club. Him turning up at Uni won't turn any heads, raise any more interest in the...

    Waratahs 2013

    Less than 10% of SS players get pro contracts with Super 15 teams. I vote we go through the missed talent in that pool, before we go trolling through the discards of the other code.

    Waratahs 2013

    It's a better standard than colts, but not by as much as many here think. There are some very good players in this comp, but there are many more ordinary players.Which explains why many of these games are high scoring affairs.

    Waratahs 2013

    NYC is no more professional than SS, except the Mungoes pay more attention to their off field uniforms. There are numerous Schoolboys who play in the NYC.How many Schoolboys are mature enough to play SS? A "veteran" of the SS is significantly more "ready to run" than a discard from a patchy...

    Waratahs 2013

    I have nothing against this guy personally, or League players in general,but WTF? Why is some failed Mungo getting an inside run? There are over 30 centres/fullbacks who have played SS who deserve an invite before this guy. And please don't anyone tell me the NYC is a strong standard of league.

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    HG Nelson is predicting, that Izzy will play in the 2014 Soccer World Cup, then the 2015 Davis Cup. Pretty sure he will be better at both these sports than was at AFL.

    Quade telling it how it is

    It's a funny criticism of a professional athlete isn't it? There are very few footballers that can expect to play 7 years in the Super comp, and some think the players should limit their income for this small window of opportunity! As an outsider who know little of the detail.Carmichael seems to...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Isn't that the $64,000 question? How do you get people back to the ground,supporting the clubs?

    Waratahs 2013

    The Tah's Players salary bill is about equal to their gate takings. Forget about multiples. On historical figures Izzy just has to get his family to pay their own way in,and he is as productive as his team mates have been in the past, in terms of income generation.

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    I think you are being too harsh. If it was all about money, he stick out the next 2 years @ $1.5M with Western Sydney.

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    Do the Tahs need to spend big bucks on an outside back? Should they spend it on an untried commodity? Is he worth more than the Eels are reputed to have offered him? Think I would pass if I was given a vote. Although I am sure he will succeed in Rugby if he commits to it.

    End of Year Tour 2012

    Have we always performed above our weight? Sorry, not close to that. You are complaining about his performance when we have hovered around 2-3 in the world. We have not consistently rated above that. On occasions we have, when the planets have all aligned. But ranking above 2-3 consistently is...

    Will Cooper play for the Reds in 2013?

    Not sure if it is a bad move. If his desire to break records as Australia greatest ever 10 it's a bad move. But if the intention is to maximise his income, then it's not. If Folau can earn a lot more in Europe, than QC (Quade Cooper) can in Oz, how much would they pay Quade over there? He has 38 test caps...

    Will Cooper play for the Reds in 2013?

    Yes and no. SBW fought for charity in NZ, his purse of $100k was donated to charity.Pay tv (70k viewers @ $75pp)was to be split by SBW and cable.

    Will Cooper play for the Reds in 2013?

    Whatever crumbs Khoder(the promoter of this fight) throws his way. He is on the undercard so not huge I would have thought. I know Hopoate was on the undercard for Mundine a few years ago, and they paid him a table( they were selling VIP tables of 10 @ $1k per seat) so if he sold all the...

    Will Cooper play for the Reds in 2013?

    Now you are being silly.Why don't you prove that he did? Had he brought up issues privately, it would have been a very poor reflection on the ARU. In the presser the other day, they went out of their way to be critical of the ARU, but yet made no mention of any such communications?I don't like...

    Will Cooper play for the Reds in 2013?

    That's bullshit. had he raised it through the correct channels previously, he would have outlined his actions and their response or lack of response to his concerns repeatedly over the past month. But he didn't, he threw his toys out of the cot, and turned his phone off like a petulant brat...
