Why waste all that digital memory on something no one will download? Or is this a bit like that plate of glass prison from Superman?

That's roughly what I was trying to say a page ago, but said about 1,000 times better.

It's Robbie's fault, not the thread's.

Don't slander podcasts like that. What did they do to deserve such treatment?

This thread got pretty silly pretty fast, btw. Apparently there is a pro-Quade camp and an anti-Quade camp. The pro-Quade camp thinks that everything he screws up is someone else's fault. The anti-Quades think it's his fault we lost the RWC. If course, neither of these things make much sense...

Shorter Brumbieman: we lost the RWC because we didn't select Ant Fainga'a at 12. :p

Under no circumstances should the man's words be broadcast to the world at large.

The right balance is simple. A play-by-play guy and a colour guy, with a sideline reporter. Generally, the play-by-play is the "pro" who knows how to keep the rhythm of the game, orchestrates who speaks when, and generally informs the viewer of what's happening. The colour guy should be an...

If it's the conservative plan, then yes, McCabe's the most likely. I just hope it's not the bloody conservative plan.

Horne won't and shouldn't be the 12. He's played well the last few weeks, but he shouldn't get an invite to any camps either. 12. Tapuai or Lilo.

I'm a Betham fan, just saying that, IMO, he's been caught out defensively a few times (position and tackling). No need to get your knickers in a knot. :p

Disagree entirely. Made a few errors, definitely, an his defensive positioning needs work, but he's also been on the end of a few McKibbin Specials that have made his life pretty difficult. Real talent, as he has showed on a few occasions. Like Volavola, he needs game time and hard yards in...

Maybe it's not Father Time, but he definitely looks to have lost something or simply been surpassed. He's still a good player but doesn't offer enough now to top the upside in developing the younger, more athletic and dynamic guys like Betham, Kingston, Volavola and Folau. With the salary cap...

Yeah, kinda my point.

Where's the list of invitees again?

Fp, that's an interesting trade-off isn't it. Would a series win playing unwatchable rugby bring new fans to the game? Or would, for instance, a close loss in the third game playing expansive exciting rugby do more? My personal feeling is the latter. It's easy to love a team that has you on the...

Agree with all of that, Lindo. But I reckon it would be fine to let Turner go at this point. Unless he wants to play for a low contract and be in the squad as injury cover, he simply offers far too little these days. With so many dynamic outside backs in Australia, he's just not worth paying...

Be careful what you wish for.

Thought he was off contract this year. My bad.

Touché. I'm assuming that the Tahs would have been willing to put a bit of cash on the table, but perhaps that's not right.
