Yeah I agree with ILMF, let's put it in perspective, we are talking about a School team. A good proportion of them are sitting the HSC this year, so they have other priorities besides Rugby. they are not the Harlem Globetrotters.

Dead cats don't bounce

I would love to view the stats that were mentioned in the OP

The point is, regardless of whether the Reds can afford him, they cannot resign him on competitive terms due to an artificial salary cap that 2/3 of the comp do not have to deal with. Any arguments that if he really wanted to stay he would are just too silly to justify a response.

It's a fucking stupid idea. Salary cap does not apply to Rebels? Certainly does not apply to NZ & RSA teams. The salary cap is designed to spread the talent across all the teams in a competition. It is not designed to limit 4 teams in a 15 team competition. If the ARU wants to keep a limit on...

The 10 you select, determines the style of play the whole side plays, it is a role that bears more responsibility than other players.it is not just one man, or at least it's not in winning sides.

The championship minutes are at the end.He was the quarterback and he is supposed to control the game. he didn't control anything in the final 10 and let the tahs just meander along. A few posters have mentioned one of his pop gun kicks that allowed the Bulls the field position to score the...

So Burke's idea of all in is 5 of their guys against 1 of ours? How can he be praising BB for last week? In Tah speak BB was not one of the reasons why we lost, but he was the main reason we didn't win. Clearly when Foley emptied the bench, the tactic was to close the match down. Anyone think BB...

No one is saying exclude league players, just don't clog the pathway with people who have already made a decision not to pursue the Rugby pathway.

Steve neither of these guys were GPS boys, how would the Tahs have known about them?

If you can coach in the NH, you can coach in the SH.Jake White is not using the same style that he used with that other team. It's more a man management role in any event these days.If the players buy into your vision you will be successful. I don't think the guys you quoted who have come home...

Then you must be Michael Foley, or are you just a kindred spirit?

No way can the Scots forwards win enough ball for the backs to put 40 points on Joeys. Set pieces are a huge problem for Scots. comfortable win for Joeys

You obviously misunderstand my position, my posts have been responding to claims of unfairness in selections before the trial, and then before the teams were announced. I accept that the more non Augs players in the 1's then the stronger it will be, if selections are on merit. I agree that...

how does your technique at the breakdown differ from your peers when attempting to steal the ball? Is it more about timing or position?

Going to be a loooong year for the Knox boys.

Nah, surely his manager just wants him to get a gig. I wouldn't have thought franchises would pay any more than the minimum contract rate would they?

No 9, I made an assumption based on how the names were listed in the squad announcement. Heally in the post above yours says that my assumption had no basis. But it sounds like you know the makeup of the two sides, want to list them? I think you are right about CAS, hard to see them dominating...

On exposed form I would have thought that CAS are the weakest of the associations this year.

We have no one who wants to stand up and lead the side. BB should have played to the corners and Elsom should have been revving up the piggies to maintain the pressure to keep them down there. Who do you see yapping away and slapping guys on the bum to egg them on... When the opposing 1/2 back...
