    Shute Shield 2010

    Mentioned the same thought to my viewing colleague this arvo. I also wonder what effect the constant chopping and changing is having on the team. I know there was a thought before that Fear stuck by his favourites too much and would rarely drop anyone but the exact opposite seems to be happening...

    Shute Shield 2010

    Despite winning 4th, 3rd and 2nd grades (2nds was a great game and the right side of a 35-10 result), Gordon couldnt do the job where it really mattered. They were awful - again. Lack of a game plan, poor organisation, basic mistakes, woeful handling (I had to check the Kickey wasnt managing...

    Shute Shield 2010

    I've got to drop Mrs Riddler and her sister off at the airport at 10am (a week of bachelorhood for me) so will probably be at the "birthplace of Australian rugby" fairly early, hopefully catch the end of ThatGuy's 4ths putting the filth to the sword and getting ready to see the wonderful team...

    Shute Shield 2010

    So who's going to the Uni v Gordon game? Perhaps the semblance of a mini-GAGR gathering? Topo? Bruce Ross? Aussie Dominance? ThatGuy?

    Wallaby selection game/exercise

    Mea culpa. But I'm still happy with a couple of bolters. Faint heart never won fair lady. Talking of rules........ Hope that warm beer doesnt come between you and TPN too much.

    Wallaby selection game/exercise

    So how come the rest of you have all picked TPN although he's injured? And do you realise how much it pains me to have 'Not So' in my team? And how come there's no real bolters in the sides (apart from Douglas who should be a shoe in). Surely Dingo will use this "lesser" Fiji test to blood...

    Wallaby selection game/exercise

    Apols gents, that thing called work is getting in the way at the moment and therefore Team Wallaby hasnt really had the opportunity to reach a general consensus. Therefore what's pasted below doesnt have total and unanimous approval but we'll have to go with it for now. 1 Salesi Ma'afu 2 S...

    What position did/do you play?

    Formerly (20 years ago) Outside Centre but now a rusted on forward. In the nirvana that is Golden Oldies, not a great deal of difference between 1-8, they still continue to do all the hard work only to see 9-15 stuff it up!

    Waratahs 2011

    Surely as a contracted player he is/was bound to the NSWRU/Waratahs until a certain date with permission to play for a Shute Shield team (in his case Manly). Legally, he would therefore need dispensation from that contract to play for another team not associated with NSW, i.e. a club team in...

    Waratahs 2011

    Has he been released from his Tahs contract? Cant recall seeing the official announcement.

    Waratahs 2011

    FP, thought we had that on a number of occasions but instead of it going out wide, it went one off for a few phases until we a) knocked it on b) lost in the ruck or c) got in each others way and totally stuffed up the continuity. Plenty of times it could have been spun wide or, as mentioned...

    Waratahs 2011

    :violin: Yet more BS from my mate Chris. Probably one area the Tahs did have the wood slightly on Saturday was in the forwards, hence Waugh's obsession with one off running and keeping it in tight. If Hickey thinks the weight advantage is an important factor, why didnt they test out the the...

    The Hickey Must go thread

    I think the point being made (and very well if I say so ;)) is why the hell didnt Hickey have a proper rotation policy this season (aside from the one that was forced on him by injury and even then he didnt manage it very well) if he thinks that it has merit. When you compare the S15 demands on...

    Tahs Player of the Season

    Now that the Tahs have been dumped, time to nominate your player of the season. Will be interesting to see how this reconciles with the 321s that have been collected all season. 3rd place : Kane Douglas - was given a chance and well and truly took it. Should be in the BaBas squad - at...

    Semi 2: Stormers vs Tahs

    Puts you in the same club as Hickey and Barnes. I think that Waugh may be the only one that knows and hasnt shared it with anyone else.

    Sky UK's Super 14 Rugby coverage

    Go on, what happened?

    Semi 2: Stormers vs Tahs

    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Let the Hickey apologists step forward and bravely defend your man because fuck me sideways, he needs defending now. Agreed The Stormers were the better team and deserved to win. But they were given an easy...

    Ah, go on then. Can I invite NTA back into the fold and we can have Team FHC with one other volunteer.

    Shute Shield 2010

    How on earth does the Dud get another gig in firsts after his performance last week? Glad to see Preston is on the opposite wing to the Player Formerly Known as Ratu. I still recall him being flattened at Coogee last year.

    Matfield - Love him or hate him...

    Hope he takes into account the few minutes difference there will between the position of the sun a couple of days ago and where it will be on Saturday :)
