That would be an awesome outcome. Managing the Rebels NPC team would be difficult but potentially once the Rebels squad had been signed / allocated to other franchises the unwanted players from the Rebels and the players forced out of squads at other franchises could be allocated to such a...

That card still gives me anxiety. *Oopsy daisy I've blown the whistle and now everyone's staring at me - Lord Almighty I better do something* "Erm, Blue.....ah.....six. Yep, Blue six, come over 'ere a minute. Mate, you've been doing it all game and you're gone for 10. Toot sweet, toodle pip...

Weapon backrow but real weakness at 4,5,10 and 15 won't cut it. Pair this with the green faces at 11 and 14 and I think the Tahs should take this somewhat easily.

As mentioned the Force fans have their own forum over at twf.com.au so its not surprising their threads don't get much action. Few things for this weekend: + Mrs. Hodgo has apparently gone on record on Facebook saying that Hodgo isn't injured. Has he fallen out of Wessels preferred 23? Is...

That I agree with but lets remember that England is the strongest (financially atleast) of all the unions. They have a warchest that we simply don't have. EJ (Eddie Jones) has a seemingly endless budget with which he can procure Assistant Coaches. We have $13, some Kmart vouchers that expire in August and...

That'd put him in the top 5 or so paid players in Australia (maybe higher, I don't know the exact figures). The ARU simply can't compete with that money - its got nothing to do with Cheika or the Wallabies.

I've never understood when people say that the players don't respect Cheika, that Cheika is unintelligent or that Cheika is a shit coach. On Cheika as a Manager: Cheika absolutely transformed the culture at the Waratahs and is much loved by the players who experienced him there. Some of the...

Nothing for the "Southern States Brumbies" either. No one fucking trademark it. The last thing we need is for the ARU to see reason and merge the Rebels / Brumbies only to have Shiggins / Dismal / Inside Shoulder / Gnostic / (insert GAGR fanatic or zealot here) hold the ARU ransom for the...

What the absolute fuck? Is this confirmation Cox is looking to sell? Either way it has private ownership so whats the ARU to do?

I was, as clearly stated, simply verbalising or providing an understandable structure to what I interpret from their onfield actions, composure and body language.

I don't think discussion, here or otherwise, has caused anyone to believe its a bad idea. In fact, even Rebels fans are starting to say makes the most sense. Across almost all metrics, apart from history, the ACT doesn't deserve to have a Super rugby team (or, at the very least, no more...

I interpret "most of us" to mean everyone bar irrational Rebels supporters and (irrational or not) Brumbies fans.

The problem is, hypothetically (I have no numbers to back this up, so allow me some creative freedom): The Western Force have Coleman and DHP who are on Wallaby top-ups of $600,000 each. They take top spot in the Aus conference this year, stumble through the finals and win the lot. Next...

Haha Scrubber you've done it again. You had me convinced at "nope".

I think since around 2013 Foley has been a very strong playmaker. He throws a good long cut out and is very dangerous with inside balls. Its just not as flowery as Quades and doesn't look as good / get as much attention.

You think McMahon and Hooper are intrinsically selfish players? Could you elaborate or provide examples?

The thing I love about Hunt, and what I think will get him selected in the starting XV (somewhere), is that he has that inherent confidence and competitiveness (bordering-on-arrogance) that you need to compete at the top level of sports. He rises to big moments instead of shirking away from...

Haha. Is Liam Gill available? Scrubber you beautiful soul you. I wrote a long piece on this last year, but despite common belief, McMahon has actually (generally) been superb at both test level and playing the full 80. He was really impressive in the English series. Regardless, I...

Thanks for this - always great stats from you! I'd be interesting to see ball carrying stats however, as thats where I think the younger cohort definitely have the advantage. Still, theres definitely merit to them (Hodgson in particular) being in the 23. Who starts and who finishes...

This is where I come cap in hand and reveal that I did absolutely no research and have nothing to base my last claim off. He's from Western Straya though. Mining n that. Should be tuff.
