The Hawera/ Lilo 10 /12 conundrum is a good one to have and to ponder. It will also be interesting with a different influence and perspective on the backline with Hewat's oversight and Lilo's recent stint O/S.

^^I think your on the money with the fact we will see a fair bit of player movement in the next year. Players will be seeking game time and squads this size don't facilitate that. You also tend to see lots of movements pre-RWC as players grab whats on offer before the international reps muscle...

The groundsman for example, followed by the medical staff and then the mascot...... Good defender but that's where it ends.

Yes. We wish there was a reason he wasn't here!

In regards to the evidence, there are a few rookie mistake many make when trying to be clever especially when they don' t respect the forum. First up, reinterpreting questions is dumb and a give the impression you are avoiding answering. The second, don't copy your mates or let your mate copy...

^^^^ Try exit package. Cox was paid out. Thus why the rumours about him wanting to sell were floating around. He needed to but he also needed to keep it quite to keep the price up and not be cornered. He dropped enough hints to the ARU but they were unwilling to pay his price ($6mil+). " The...

Setting aside the report, there are two tasty "Easter eggs" in Reynolds address to the Senate about the report. The first is about the ARU's alleged attempts to disrupt the enquiry. I believe Reynolds referred to the behaviours as "inappropriate and highly mis-directed attempts to stop the...

The wording is subtle but the meaning and intent is not. It takes less than this to make departments take cation as required. The recommendations as usually tested (to see if they can be done) before the reports are released.

I think it hilarious that we can talk about the Brumbies back-line and even more specifically the centres its like we have all subconsciously erased Godwin from the roster!

Unlikely as Departments are generally required to report back on actions relating to recommendations (not just the go through the motions reporting either.!)

Goes to show that you can have a great 10 but if it doesn't fit the back-line and game plan or you can have a great back-line and game plan with a 10 that doesn't fit. A lesson we need to learn here in Australia. I think Adams might just fit with Wessels at the helm but it might take some...

IMHO the permutations of the such an eventuality. or even coming close to fruition is worth some very serious contemplation. Off the cuff, I cant see it not hurting the game and Aussie rugby and could really damage (mortally) the Melbourne Force post equalisation.

Well, no other team is throwing out the welcome mat so I am putting it out there; Ritchie Arnold, if you want a home I would welcome you to the Brumbies. The hidden bonuses would be that it will confuse both Brumby Jack most of the time, and the rest of us at interchange time. Even better if...

So was Ben Hyne pre-injury.

I am not sure what I can contradict other than media speculation. IIRC beyond Cheika's comments of "he has commitments" there has been nothing from Cheika, the Wallabies or Palmer. All the "reporting" was speculation. We got a poised...

The advantage with Stiles is that he is also a forwards coach. Palmer is only a scrum coach,

Er, um, Cusack has told ABC drivetime radio that the players will be running out in the CBR Vikings strip, Superstition thing.

IIRC Palmer flew up to camp Wallaby after getting an invite from Cheika and flew back home the same day. Cheika when asked about Palmer "he's got commiments". From there somehow it's jumped to an agreement or arrangements which in reality is all assumption. He has commiments. Simples.

Waste!
