Missing tackles isn't real good for a players value either. That argument doesn't even make sense. A player who signs on for a period of time (and they all have fixed term contracts as much to protect the club as them) should be expected to put in his all during the term of the contract. That is...

He was as committed as hell to the team in relation to the achievement of a specified goal. The goal was achieved and he is now evaluating his options. If you don't re-evaluate your goals and set new ones in your life, you're going to blow around like a ship without a rudder. I don't see any...

These guys are now part of a Professional Sport. They have a VERY limited career span, unless they are one of those lucky blokes like Wilkinson who seem to be able to play at the top level for a long time. To expect them to have all of this altruistic intent and put a Club above their own life...

A little drunken misbehaviour is necessary for Quade's predicted forthcoming book in order to highlight the depths of despair to which he sank after a failed RWC, a serious injury, a failed relationship and a seemingly endless series of failed haircuts. (But notice the all important qualifier...

Mike Wallace isn't a South African is he?

- Cooper recovers well, makes a strong return and does NOT go to League, setting his sights on a RWC win to redress the 2011 debacle and provide a suitable "comeback from adversity" centerpiece to his best-selling autobiography "I Can Jump Puddles" which is released in 2016 to co-incide with the...

I have never seen SBW behave in a way that I thought was "wankerish" on the field. He had a few minor scandals (a low grade DUI that would not have even been a DUI in Canada, the USA, New Zealand, Singapore etc), one incident of girlfriend infidelity that was only made public because some tool...

On Dam0's standards, Mother Theresa would be remembered as a stern old bat with bad dress sense.

My youngest son is 7 and known for being a bit of a smart arse already, but in a funny way. He's pretty smart and very quirky. One day when he was about 5 he was in a non cooperative mood and I said, in exasperation "Jude! You're driving me crazy!" His response? "Come on Dad. It's not that...

Once, after this morbidly obese guy got up in the middle of the second half with the apparent intention of repeating his performance from the first half (and bludgeoning his way past a row of unfortunates to return with two beers, a pie and a hotdog) (which he consumed on his own) a bloke said...

Boofheads in the stands who stick their bums in your face and trip over their own feet to go pee pee or get more beer in the middle of a half or at any time other than before the kickoff, half time or after the game ends. x10 when they slosh their drinks on you on the way back to their seats. If...

Brothers Juniors just won Club of the Year up here the second year in a row. Must be doing something right - but I think its all pretty grass roots stuff. Other clubs have better fields and better facilities etc. I think in the Juniors in Brisbane, particularly the young juniors from u6 to u12...

That's actually pretty funny.

I know right? But now we have a story, it's Rocky-like in its sweep of hardship and hard-won victory, the story of a great team's fall from Grace and the fight back to the top - all set against the turmoil and political machinations of the professional-ising of a proudly amateur code. They'll...

- Some (an increasing number) of parents at Club Juniors matches who mouth off about referee decisions from the sidelines either at the ref or just amongst themselves and maintain a running stream of bitchy whingeing about the decisions the ref doesn't make. - Some of the younger players who...

I think it would be a powerful read.

That white fella might be a little slow, but he must have a skull 6 inches thick. How he stayed on his feet after that last hit, dazed or not, is pretty remarkable. Tough son of a bitch. And how the other guy did not break his hand is pretty remarkable too, it didn't look good. He looked so calm...

Thanks for that info. I wasn't aware of any previous bitching and moaning although I imagine there would be a high to very high probability of disagreement :-) Sounds like NSW have things working pretty well - but what's the deal up here and how do we find out? I found this...

Lets not get stuck on casting - we need a PLOT first. What period in the Wallabies history encapsulates the spirit of the team? How do tyou tell the story? I think the 1990's. We have the film as a decade long journey told from the perspectives of 5 key characters - Phil Kearns, John Eales, Tim...
