Saying that misdeeds should be covered up in order to protect the image of an organisation is exactly the same sort of logic that has protected crooked bankers, dirty cops and pedophile priests. Now I'm not saying that anything that Clyne or the others on the board has done puts them in those...

All true. What I would add is that there are a couple of truisms that the whole plot is built around - namely, that you shouldn't meddle in things you don't understand, and that doing what you think is the right thing can end in disaster.

Absolutely. I've heard of it described as being like Game of Thrones in space. Conspiracies, political intrigue, space battles and a terrifying form of alien life that frankly makes the White Walkers look like the mummies in an Abbott & Costello movie.

Love Chrisjen. But if WA's part of the Belt, Twiggy can only be an OPA guy.

One can only hope. Best part of this analogy is that Twiggy becomes Fred Johnson.

Hahhahhah ... You can't stop The Work!

It's so much easier if you just do The Expanse, where: New South Wales is the UN/Earth; Queensland is Mars; Everyone else is the Belters; and Cameron Clyne is Sadavir Errinwright. Yeah, I'm bored too.

Ok, thanks. I admit it was a surprise (albeit a pleasant one) to see him in the Wallabies set-up recently.

I suppose once Dave Rennie brings in his own people that Shaun Berne would be out of a job ... I think he was a Wallabies assistant, right? Never been a head coach but did wonders with the Force attack while he was here.

Yeah, it's very fluid. I think he was even RA's Special Envoy to Ukraine at one point.

Sounds a little like the Robbie Deans appointment, then? Not saying Dave Rennie will do a bad job, but I worry about a process that consists of saying, "Well, this guy's good, let's pencil him in now and we can announce him as soon as the incumbent quits." Do we know how many candidates were...

I didn't watch Richo and Jones last night, but I do remember that Mike Baird not only sacked his police minister but kicked him out of the Liberal Party over what turned out to be a bogus ICAC investigation. That would be bad enough, but now that the former minister's been exonerated Baird...

The problem with that analogy is that Julius Caesar was actually beloved by the Roman public which is why his executioners had to flee. I don't think anyone at all will be sorry to see the back of Clyne.

I agree, they look like a natural fit for a future northern conference, but based on your map the southern conference is looking a little light! I'd suggest maybe 2024 or 2025 is a little more realistic. Let GRR get bedded in for a couple of years, attract enough teams to fill a southern...

Wow. Twiggy said he'd do it, and I dare say there would have been some skepticism that he would follow through, but follow through he has. Bravo. Hopefully the broadcast details will follow soon, along with some marquee signings.

Not literally, dude. The KGB really killed your sense of irony, huh.

Wow. Really? I should have been kissing his ass all this time.

Why shouldn't you be allowed to cross the line? Why not march right up under their noses and show them you're not intimidated? It would be far better theatre than what we've got now, where the players just stand there looking grave and the New Zealand commentators give them credit for "accepting...

So, the coach, the test captain and the limited-overs captain? I'm not saying that they're being insincere, but you'd hardly expect the three most senior CA employees in the playing/coaching ranks to publicly bag a fellow high-profile CA appointee. Kind of like when a bumbling government...
