They may not have sole use, but are they getting any use? Off the top of my head I can quote 2 Manly Marlin players who made their debuts this year for other franchises. How many have debuted for NSW ? Edit + 1 Rat (force) Tahs website indicates zero debutantes this year, but surprisingly 4 last...

Did you not realise that Foley was ass coach for for 3 years, he was Hickey's sidekick,with many saying he was de facto coach all of last year? It would be naive to expect any noticeable difference in either processes or output with the same structures in place.

All these things are the responsibility of the coach! The only other thing that the coach is responsible for is tactics! So in simple terms you must be saying ......? Hardly multi faceted! BTW your twee response(Wince) does not really add to the tone of the joint, your inference that you...

BUT THEY ARE IN DENIAL. The coach is in fucking excuse mode in post match interviews. "Hardly anyone wins here" "We did some good things" etc etc etc etc etc etc When you are making excuses, you are not looking within to face your deficiencies. If you don't acknowledge it, you can't deal with...

Open slather? Really? If you are speaking on their behalf, then that's the problem..way too precious. The people who fork out their hard earned and boo them on occasion, have more of a right to be heard than those politically correct hand wringers who don't go and who don't buy merchandise...

Any details on kickoff time?

Well, the good news for Foley is that the article does not say "he has the full support of the board." Yet.....

You don't think? If you give Trinity credit for beating Shore, well then on the same day Shore 2nds had a draw with them! Trinity played St Pat's and won on the bell, St Pat's have 1 kid I believe in the ISA squad. Pat's were crushed the following week by View. Even the Trinity supporters would...

I was with you right up to this point Bruce. What about when he came on as a replacement when the Tahs were leading and they subsequently lost.By the same logic is he responsible for the loss? Having said that some of his missed tackles this year don't show up, as he has so badly read it, he has...

apart from the debacle against Fruen, how has TC's form been any different to the last few years? He is obviously out of favour, but I see no difference in his form this year than the last few years. What has changed in your view BraveH?

Big call Lee, where do you see he needs to improve to press for selection?

This thread seems to have gone off on a tangent.... Here is a quote from a post from Newbie in the rep selections thread, and if correct makes it all academic...... As fate would have it the 'Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championship' ('ASSRL') is being held in Port Macquarie from...

No one is suggesting a total lockout for anyone who goes near league. I think you will find that the suggestion is more like rugby should not be sending kids on free overseas trips with the schoolboy side if they have a contract to play league next year.

The salary cap for each clubs Toyota cup squad is $250k, so they do not earn huge bucks if they are in the original squad, even less if they are not in the original squad.

Sorry, a 29 y/o who played 1 game the prior year, and about to play RWC , when the medical staff knew his hammies were 60%. Funnily enough there was only one franchise interested

The reduced squad size has necessitated that many of the franchises had to pluck young uns from outside their squad into the starting side. The Tahs have had so many injuries they cannot be blamed for their poor performance, but not too many injuries that they need to bring young guys in...

I am really banging on about the post Link era, Hickey & Foley were/are too conservative to risk young uns. Why we signed 2 old banged up players(Vickerman & elsom) instead of young guys with a future sums up the thinking IMO.

Hang on, are we talking about a professional rugby unit or the local under 13d's? I'm really proud that you guys tried today, is great with the kid's. not OK for pro's. A winning culture focuses on execution, not effort. Listen to his post match interviews, they are all about excuses. Winners...

Mostly delivered on it, sums it up, as they do every week. If you believe the Stormers would not have found another way to win had their try been disallowed, then you have not watched enough of the Tahs. Ath, the biggest problem with the Tahs is the fairy tale, "The Emporer has no clothes"...

Just playing someone is not developing them, but it is an integral part of it! You cannot develop them if you do not give them game time. Talk to Peterson, I bet he is gutted. he keeps seeing guys who he was ahead of 3 years ago, two years ago and a year ago getting game time and succeeding at...
