I watched back-to-back Knights / Waratahs games with a friend who was a union diehard until 22 and then jumped ship to the NRL. Newcastle made a break and didn't go wide. I asked why and he pointed to the fact that possession is king in league, and high risk plays are never attempted on early...

I'm finding it so fucking depressing. Just when I thought we were onto something good - Castle, new broadcast agreements etc. - the same morons try to fuck it all up. I'm not kidding when I say this - if Kearns takes over as CEO I'm turning my back on Australian rugby. It's so fucking...

Too bloody right! Our last Kiwi coach was an abject failure and I don't see why this would be any different. Australian Rugby needs to look within its deep ranks of highly capable Foxtel commentators for the way forward. Gregan - the emotionless turtle without a shell - can fire the lads up...

Western Sydney. I live in the East and I'll never head to a Tahs game in the West, Sydney is just far too big.

Watching the Bledisloe from 2010 on RA's facebook now -- games like this are few and far between these days. Instict tells me that these blokes would wipe the floor with the current mob, but my brain suggest that's not correct. Thoughts?

Can someone please make a change.org petition and circulate it to every Rugby Community in Australia to communicate that we do NOT want Phil fucking Kearnas as CEO.

Bingo, bango, bongo. Cameron Clyne for the next RA CEO. Fits the criteria to a tee. Who knew it was so simple?

The problem is - the people you want will need the job for monetary gain. I'm going to make a few assumptions about your ideal individual, so bear with me. Let's assume he/she is: (a) incredibly passionate about Rugby and has been involved / surrounded by the game for most of their life. (b)...

It's a great wage, no denying that BUT I know a number of friends earn >$150k at 25 - and some have done for a few years. These are predominantly made up of tradies, but include friends in Finance, Sales, Marketing, Law and Real Estate. A friend is a fucking crane driver and was earning...

To add to the conversation -- what type of salary would you offer her or any other potential CEO of RA? As a general ball-park?

These three are literally just opinions. The Israel Folau thing we don't have enough information to comment on - but RA's reported loss relative to 2015 seems to indicate it wasn't anywhere in the ball park of $4 million - nor do we have enough information to comment on the broadcast deal...

In other news, Issy Perese avoided conviction for his drug supply charge. Snippets below. -- Former Brisbane Bronco Izaia Jay Ali Perese, 22, today pleaded guilty to supplying a dangerous drug at Albion Creek last September. He also pleaded guilty to possessing $5600 obtained from the supply...

With no JRWC can we see u20s games between the Super sides / states as curtain raisers? If nothing else, the JRWC serves a talent identification purpose for Super Rugby sides and allows the Rugby fanbase to become aware of stellar younger players before they hit Super Rugby, which raises...

Hamish Stewart can defend can't he. So good at getting under a player in a double team tackle to drive them back.

So this Jock Campbell kid a pretty good attacking player, huh? He never even looks like he's running fast. Just glides through the defence. Shame he can't kick for his life.

In other news, how good has Harrison's ball running been today? He's made about 12 linebreaks. Creates so much doubt in the opposition.

Yeah but when we were rubbish, everyone carried on like every South African and Kiwi team was incredible. Simply being less rubbish makes you good. Relatively speaking.

Edited, might want to edit your comment too. You're quoting my old comment and the spoilers in your post!

Feel like I've died and entered another realm. The space beyond. Brumbies beat some Kiwis last week, the Rebels played some good footy and the Tahs are playing like its 2014.

This doesn't even warrant a response. You obviously don't read this forum very comprehensively if you can't name a single positive thing that she's done. In fact, almost everything she's done has been positive.
