I'll take your Quade hating Kiwi opinion on board and then completely disregard. The CEO has changed at the ARU since Quade's action - coincidence? Many are saying that the coach can't change as well because of this; but if the coach were going to be changed, then I reckon JO'N would've...

Agree. I thought Stu Dickers was another example. Liked a tidy breakdown which made it better for fetchers. That I wasn't screaming at the ref (from my vantage point in the corporate box with Baabaa, ahem) is probably indication that we got the rub of the green. Although as barbarian said I...

Fuck me, you have hit rock bottom. I'm not sure I disagree with you to be honest Scarfy. If any of the girls wanted input into how the backs were going to play - so be it. I'd even encourage it. Just that there's a difference between that and being some sort of defined leader within the...

From what I've heard you might be surprised how many of those you name might actually want to pipe up and put a "rugby intellectual" hat in the ring. You intimated this yourself on the front page in a comment replying to Hux's post about "smart rugby" and a current lack thereof. At the end of...

So Kafe's cunning tactic from the Rugby Club is to only spin the ball wide to avoid one man's tackling - McCaw. What could go wrong?

Good points. If an employee gets promoted clearly above their competency level, who's to blame: employee or employer?

Well, at international level, if hope to have two guys who could otherwise be Super head coaches working for you, I'd say you'd need to be inclusive of them, or watch them walk. However, when it comes to players - there will be a few you'd want to involve in some decision making, but the rest...

1) Love the big boggle-eyed bastard and want to show it? Then watch the vid and leave a comment http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/video-farewellsharpie-leave-a-message-to-the-man 2) Check it out - his mum left a comment. Great stuff...

Mark's got killer hair highlights as well - he rocks!

I'm not surprised Bryce gets defended by Kiwis - not just because he is one - but because of his style of reffing especially at the breakdown. Those teams who could counter-ruck and disrupt at the breakdown did better under Bryce, and we know that many Kiwi teams excel at it. (As an aside I...

And his name is Vinny. Great name

Dan54 - I do agree with you that people take it too far with refs - if you want the ultimate example, read the comments on the article I linked to above. For this reason I haven't posted something about it on the front page, I'm not keen on just opening a can of spite. I do however think that...

So Dan, we should wait until some guy tells a journalist that he stuffed up royally before we comment on it? Anything else is being "a very bad sport"? How's the weather up their on your horse?

I've got to listen again - I got it stuck in my head that Greegs said 1997!

To be honest my comment (and title of post) was tongue in cheek as I find it pretty fanciful that JO'N should cop the blame for Bryce's repeated (by his own admission) poor performances and thereby his exit from the game.

It's about raising thread quality. Not every thread is great quality, so that will probably reduce numbers and concentrate discussion.

So, just to clarify.. The changes are already in place - so if you can threadstart now, you're a threadstarter - a twisted threadstarter. Basically the idea is that once you've become a valued member of the community, you get the right to start threads. This should be a right we value...

From http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Bryce-Lawrence-retires-20121016#.UH1PIWhvkss.twitter Looks like I missed an achievement to add to JO'Ns CV in my piece earlier this week You should see the Saffa comments on that article though, looking a bit pork choppish

This may well have been news to Will as well.....

That was like a cold case murder mystery!
