I believe Peterson actually won his hearing. He was accused of something he managed to prove false. Not sure Quade is in the same position.

If they take the ArU contract off the table & let him play for the reds it opens up the option of him going to Japan and earning big bucks instead of playing for hs country. Do they then let there's do the same? We could get to a point were between world cup years players do this to fill there...

IS - did u post that YouTube as a suggestion the Tahs may use the grubber as an attacking weapon?

We're talking to early about Gaffney anyway. His actual title at the moment is Director of Rugby so they may hire another backs coach. Who knows, with the randwick connection maybe even Campo might get the chance to put his money where his mouth is.

I love the notion that the ARU don't know which way is up but at the same time are running an 'inception' like program from the basement to influence contract negotiations. We need to start writing rugby fan fiction novels round here.

Bardon - Gaffney is still there, Scott Bowen (backs coach) got the bone.

IS - he got sacked this Arvo. Lee - I'm still not to sure of gaffneys involvement this year and what he actually did. If reports are true Foley & Co tried to have him sacked mid year as "cost cutting". Gaffney himself has also said he never got the chance to be hands on. If he is the right man...

Hate to say it for fear of a lynching, but we miss a fit rocky Elsom.

Scott Bowen is out the door. Chieka & Gaffney only coaches ATM.

They had been. Cooper wanted boxing matches, an off season in Japan and other things, they had negotiated to let him box but not go to Japan. It wasn't dropped off in June and left alone.

So the criticism from JON made him freeze in the Saffa game? Alright, one explained, now how bout the other 40 times Bryce?

When the cooper story broke it was revealed that he was bargaining to get approval to box and also a sabbatical at some stage. Wouldn't surprise me if genia is the same. (sabbatical not boxing) it's hard to judge if there a good thing or not. It's hard in my mind to come up with a rule that fits...

I don't understand when he is going to Japan, isn't he injured til next year? There season finishes in feb/early march doesn't it?

There have been a few guys I know who have dropped out of the rugby system due to lack of game time to go to league. If it helps keep them it's good isn't it? It's not perfect which is why I thought adding the EPS guys or perhaps making it academy sides with a youth quota might be better, but...

I thought the Aussie press conference today was great, respectful of the all blacks but with a lot of youthful talk of having a crack at them and looking forward to trying to pull off an upset. Both Beale an Phipps where really good. In the position the team is in and compared to NZ coming out...

They have added a bit more since yesterday, I'm optimistic it can work, still lacking in detail but the under 20s idea is spot on, maybe the 5 EPS players can be incorporated to ensure game time as well. Tele again- An ARU task force on Premier Rugby, set up recently and chaired by deputy CEO...

Happy to let it go, your projecting your opinion onto things that don't exist.

I never understood how the reds are applauded for the type of gameplan used as an example of Robbie deans being out of touch with his players. Is it solely because they won? - just need to ad to avoid usual replies. Not trolling, interested in the discussion about it.

When did I say he was perfect, when did I say there was a cunning plan? His "KPIs" we're financial, if you google articles from JoNs return to the job it's stated that it's going to be about cost cutting and saving the code from insolvency. Your attacking me for being in the grey area were I'm...
