Canada made the quarter finals in 91 I think; so not quite their best just yet. (Fark, you snooze you lose here - it was relevant when i was typing it)

Fair point, there was an email going round Sunnybank reflecting on where they were 10 years ago. They had no club house to speak of, were $70,000 in debt and had one kid they hoped to be the future running around in colts called Peter Hynes. He was told during that year that he will never play...

To be honest I was a bit surprised Ma'afu got selected ahead of me.

My guess is that the ARU sees companies or individuals having a limited amount to spend on rugby, when that money goes to an individual player the ARU misses out. By reducing 3rd party payments to players, they possibly estimate more money coming to the governing body. Whether that plays out...

Good to see, and hopefully they keep it up; the past coupld of years their form has dipped right off at the wrong end of the season. Disappointed I couldn't make it to Easts last weekend but I'll definitely be heading out to the 'bank a few more times this year. Should be getting a few handy...

No way am I having a go here Ruggo and sorry to pick on one single item, but I just feel like its time I shared a few things. First up here I have to admit I am biased completely, being close to a former board member, but I will relate the timeline as honestly and fully as I remember it. At...

Link in the post-match press conference was asked about injuries and said Daley had a broken nose but that won't stop him from playing. Also said Digby had a facial laceration but didn't know if he was out or not. Full Reds press conference is on the foxsports website for anyone interested.

Back in the Ballymore days this was never a problem. Ahhhhh under the scoreboard at the corner of the Eastern stand and the Castlemaine stand, how many reputations of Brisbane GPS's finest young gentlemen were ruined there?

I understand the Rebels gave him an offer that was too good to refuse, and not monetary. My understanding is that there may be some personal issues with his family and the Rebs were offering him consistent travel to and from Sydney (along the lines of once a week travel). I also understand that...

Interestingly enough this morning I was told Sunnybank is being approached to help fund a report into the feasibility of world club championship 7s to be held in Beijing. It's being pushed by a prominent member of the Chinese-Australian community and has some support in Beijing. I think there...
