Been away in the snow for a week so didn't follow the story. Switched on to channel 9 "news" tonight and they report the story like its some fucking massive coup for League. They interviewed some halfwit chap, maybe Tahu's manager who basically implied he was too good for Union. I can't stand...

Is the ARU going to send the NRL the rehab bill? They rebuilt his hamstrings for him after all.

Yes that is a valid point but dare I say Australia was so poor in the World Cup I couldn't see them beat the Boks. The AB's would have been another matter but let's leave it at that. I for one believe that one the balance of it, the Boks have actually not shown any degree of consistency form...

I would be surprised if they all did, unless hey feel that a title defense is enough if a draw card. Smit has said he will take it year by year. Matfield wanted to come back from overseas for the Lions and now that it's over ha will be a huge target for o'seas clubs. Botha tried to get out of...

About sums it up. I'm not disputing the need for building phases. The reality is that every team will live through cycles. The Wallabies are on the upward curve. I just think they have gone beyond the point where you can say they are rebuilding based on the fact that the side has a very settled...

Ok so how many? 3? 4? Let's say it's 3. What happens in that third year that hasn't already happened in the first 2? I don't buy it. It's not like Deans started with a squad with zero experience. Two years should be enough time to imprint a game plan.

Oh OK. Speed reading. You're still talking shit though. :fishing

At this point, what more building is required? It is a starting fifteen packed with experience. You can no longer play the rebuild card.

Yup. And they got up and won. It was an even contest. 15 players each side. Same rules, Same ref. Same field. Like I have said before. If the Lions were hoping to win purely based on their scrum, they did not deserve to win at all. Regardless, their so called dominance in the scrum is based on...

35 minutes of uncontested scrums and suddenly the Lions would have won. So you suggest they would have won it based on their scrum? I think the SA scrum can only get better, and will. A hooker converted to TH and a an 8 converted to a LH. They didn't go too bad in the first test and when du...

Based on what? You can't tell either way. You're guessing. We're all guessing.

If the Wallabies can't win in Auckland this weekend, they never will. It's going to be tough as all hell. Too many people writing off the All Blacks. Tight game, Wallabies by 3 I reckon. This game could set them up for winning the whole thing as away victories will be like hen's teeth this year.

If you had to ask me to write possibly the most childish and ill advised response from SARU on this matter, I would have come up with something similar to those quotes from Hoskins. :o If the rest of the rugby world think SA players, coaches and administrators are acting like morons, it is...

Fondse looks a decent player. My worry is I haven't see another four in SA with real mongrel for a while now. There's a big hole there if both Bakkies and Rossouw decide to go overseas, which may be sooner than we think.

You beat me to it. I was going to suggest he was told about it as opposed to read it himself. The mindless blabber would have shown improvement for the latter. Where's that Growden image now? Ah, here it is. :huxley

Sharks are pretty much the same team as in S14. You'd expect them to be strong but they seems to have developed a knack for being, well, shit. Bulls depth looks good. Interesting to see they are playing Franscois Hougaard on the wing. He is the player in the whole squad I am most excited about...

This thread is now officially fucking ridiculous. Boss, lock it. I beg you.

I support Norths for the simple reason that I live around here and no, I don't have soy latte's and I don't wear T shirts with Polo horses or crocodile's on them and loafers are people who don't work, not shoes. Or am I more referrign to the Eastern Suburbs preferred attire here? Kid loves...

Lol you mean he is desparate to sound like he knows something. He clearly knows sweet fuck all. Which is pretty much par for the course with Growden.
