I never, ever thought I would say this, but shame about Toua being out. He has been playing ok on the wing at times.

After watching Aussie rugby this weekend i was reading the news about Trump and the G20 and I am wondering if I am the only one seeing similarities between Trump and the republicians and Pulver and the ARU? In general terms it 2 leaders who are out of their depth, in denial, no clue what they...

Where did the above come from? Cant find it on FB.

Sad to say but Bernie Larkham is well on track to be the Aussie version of Sir John Kirwin. A playing legend who was not a coach. The results are diminishing the reputation rapidly. Time to take a leaf out of Lord Laurie's book and go hang with Cheika.

At least the SARU have facilitated opportunities for the teams rather than cutting them off totally and pulling the rug out from professional rugby in each of the provence.

The Fardy, Alcock and Smiler combination not only brought the breakdown pressure needed but the mobility that has been missing for a few years. It going to be hard to replace. Pocock brings the pressure but not the attacking mobility of Alcock. Fingers crossed the likes of Hyne and Fakosolea...

CBR Times reporting Alcock is off to Japan. Shame they are not retaining him. Also a possible early return by Lilo. Would he qualify? http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/act-brumbies-to-wait-on-christian-lealiifano-super-rugby-comeback-decision-20170630-gx1vz7.html

^^^^has been the travelling scum coach and strategist while on tour when Palmer was not touring. Definitely worth keeping around for his form both on and off the field atm.

And then you watch the Hurricanes v BIL and see the naturally right footed 20yo Jordie Barrett kick a ball 30+ metres downfield in to touch on the move, under pressure using his non-favoured left foot. Most kids who play AFL can usually kick off both feet at least 20 metres by the age of 16...

Head of the line at the Centrelink queue just ahead of one of the other franchises players and coaches! ;)

Its interesting to consider the post match comments from Moore and Cheika in relation to fitness. Its interesting to ask the question if the comments stem from a comparison which is actually a misconception in relation to comparing (the benchmark) how they perceive the pressure and pace of the...

I can't disagree with you about his past defence issues. At best in time maybe what he can bring in attack will offset the defensive deficiencies he has due to his size. But he does appear to on the right trajectory developmentally.

So you thinking about getting on the bandwagon BR? ;) He is playing well and his support play is excellent. I was hoping we would get more then a cameo @10 from him just to see how he looks there just in case.

Ready the lynch mob! IMHO Will Genia (in part) is the poster boy for what is wrong with the Wallibies, ARU and professional Rugby in Australia right now. So after getting off his banana lounge from next to a pool in QLD, playing under a hypothetical Super Rugby deal, he starts for the Wallabies and...

Rugby is a global sport but only one place on the planet has such ridiculous and idiotic situations as this. As if it wont have an influence. :rolleyes:

Whats that saying about one rotten apple? Fortunately I don't think it will effect the ARU barrel! :D

No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it. – Fernando Pessoa

Yeah that backs coaching drought is really impacting teams globally. Kiwis and those forwards oriented Saffa teams like the Kings and Lions are struggling to get any attack or back-line stuff happening. :rolleyes: I would suggest another world wide coaching search as there is a carpark across...

What caught my attention: GWS Giants chairman Tony Shepherd told The Weekend Australian this week: “The corporate world has embraced the opportunity to support women’s AFL. “We had no trouble in attracting corporate support for our new team. Katie Page approached me right at the start...

I would suggest that anybody making a comment based on their current knowledge base should do so with abundant caution. One point in particular may be worth considering carefully before you speak is around the potential revenue. You may just find right now that potentially the a women XV could...
