Someone from AFL was on ABC radio in Brisbane this afternoon, he said they need 20 more AFL grounds on the goal coast and across Australia they need a new ground every week to keep up with growth.

Do you think she determines what gets aired? I would have thought that there would be an editorial decision on what gets promoted. There seems to be more air time given to women's sport than ratings and attendance should dictate, I think the biggest rugby pieces in the last year or so have...

I don't think it would be too hard to tell viewers that they are about to discuss another game for a few minutes so those who don't want to know the result can mute for a few minutes or have a quick break. This way they can still discuss the result without upsetting some viewers.

I never leave early, I always hold out for a miracle come back or piece of history occurring in front of me. Imagine if a tackle happened that was better than Korro's last week and you missed it because you can be bothered to stay. Imagine if the Wallabies managed a win 10 minutes after the...

Did Rennie realise this during the game? Surely he can communicate this observation to the players during breaks in play. If the plan does not change after he tells them to change then pull the player off the field and drop him next week.

what was the response?

I really hat box kicks and the ridiculous time it take to kick the ball, one thing that has bugged me for a while is the player who stands next to the ruck but does not bind and is there to block attempts by the defensive team from getting the the 9 who is about to kick the ball. If a ruck is...

Wouldn't they be stood down from training too?

At U19 level my mates and I used to have bets at the start of the season on who would get the first broken nose or who would get the first concussion. It was a badge of honour, stupid in hindsight but fun at the time.

I hope this extends to a boat race

It is a concern for parents, my 5 year old son plays soccer as it develops good coordination, team work and kicking skills. I don't practice headers with him and don't really want him playing any full contact sports including Rugby until he is older, if he chooses to.

I think I read that in the USA junior soccer players don't head the ball until they are about 12 years old.

Surely the risks are well enough known that if you choose to play then you get what comes to you. I agree with payments to those who played prior to CTE becoming widely accepted but if you choose to play now then it would be the equivalent of starting cigarette smoking and then suing tobacco...

I hope that you are correct, I hate the afternoon matches.

Unless he does it in a world cup final and we take advantage of the one man advantage.

He also just look sloppy in his appearance, his shorts are always half off his butt and this just gives the impression of not really caring about the game. He is among my favourite Reds but I think for the good of the Wallabies he needs to move on, it would be interesting what he could become...

I obviously am not in the inside circle to have any knowledge of what has happened to Tupou but as a "keyboard warrior internet expert" I have a few thoughts. Could his lack in form be as simple as recently becoming a dad and simply being tired because of his life off the field? One of my...

Is there a link to the data base?

The last 15 was a bit disappointing, they seemed to lose the killer instinct. This could also be due to the bench being used and going from Wallabies to club rugby players. The 12 for UQ had a great game, think it was Ripley?? Jock seemed to come to 10 a fair bit, I would prefer him at 15 for...
