It would seem that Phipps may have come to them when the Rebels signed Burgo.

Good tip. Thanks, mate.

Did I read the tea leaves correctly in the Drew Mitchell piece? Seems to me like he might be around for next season too. If so, I'm guessing Lachie Turner might be off to Japan.

Yeah, they should put the game on Easter Monday.

I don't care that he's an advocate for the Reds. I care that he says idiotic things constantly.

Apologies as I haven't read this thread in full. I just wanted to point out: a) Genia was very good, b) Cooper had pleading flashes, c) Marto is an unmitigated fucking moron and should not be allowed to speak in public, let alone on television.

6 is clearly an issue. At 7 we have an embarrassment of riches. There are few sides in the world for whom Gill or Hooper would not be starting (let alone Pocock, when healthy), and obviously that Smith bloke hasn't lost much while eating duck confit and drinking Bordeaux. I've been really...

Wait. What?

Totally agree. I thought that's why short-arm penalties existed?

Does anyone know what sort of support networks are out in place by the franchises and by the Rebels in particular? Beale's alcohol issues have been known for years now. Do they employ psychs and counsellors? Do they assist players with the basics of life in the way that Dumbledore described? If...

Possibly the language barrier did not help on that score.

I've been to 90% of the home games for the last 3 or 4 years since moving home from Canada. The Waratahs are massively lifting their game this season in terms of the activities and entertainment. I'm not saying that criticism of the team, its fan engagement or its match-day stuff is out of...

And Cooper Vuna.

All true, but he had his shit together in his last two seasons up here. Clearly the change of scenery has not done him any good.

Yes, but seemed to be keeping them in check. Off the booze during the season, etc.

I was worried when he went to the Rebels that losing the structure he had in Sydney would be detrimental. Seems like a young man with some demons. Perhaps being closer to home would be good for Kurtley -- as a player and as a guy with a whole lot of life ahead of him.

Frustrating periods of inanity aside, that was a solid win. It wasn't perfect but the Blues are bloody good and we never let the game get away, even after going down by two converted tries. Matt Lucas certainly had a rough start, gifting the Blues a try, but fought back and played well. His pass...

So Roy looked up the NFL on Wikipedia and wrote an article about it?

Even if it keeps a few suckers out of the beer queue I'm all for it.

American sports arenas have managed to sell food and drinks in the seating areas for decades. I doubt these are insurmountable problems.
