There was an article (I think in the Australian) a couple of weeks ago about salary cap rorting going on in all clubs. The players know what is happening. I am waiting for the spotlight to be turned to the player managers for their role in all of this.

Re: Melbourne Storm stripped of 2007 + 2009 premierships What law has he broken? He has just broken the rules of a sporting competition and the Storm will bear the brunt of that. In rugby the only rule is that clubs can't directly act as brokers between player agents and third parties (as far...

Re: Melbourne Storm Who? Interesting that the article has tried to foist all the blame on to Brian Waldron (who is now with the Rebels which the author makes quite clear). He wouldn't have done it alone and the board and owners would have to have known about it.

Our guys played Woy Woy yesterday 3rds won 36-17 (we scored a fantastic try in that game that if videod I'll be getting the guy to post to youtube so I can nominate it for totm - have to check with him ;) ); seconds went down 19-17 in a good game, our blokes came back strongly in the second half...

That's the one.

Matt Ryan (former Wallaby prop) used to have some grreat coaching advice on his old broadside website. Not sure if the site or the information is still online though.... Some really good advice for coaching scrummaging especially.

How come the West Harbour support vote dropped from 3 back down to 2? Who's the traitorous scurvey out there that Lindommer and I will have to make walk the plank?

If it keeps Quade in a Reds jumper then I am all for it....

I would have been a lot happier if ten had gotten the rights. I think they promote their "sports" better than anyone. My Dad is a bit of a rev head and loved watching the racing on 10 on Sunday afternoons, a while before that they promoted basketball in its halcyon days here in Oz. Would be...

If you are calling it grassroots will you put the "playing rugby" thread in there also?

Copper... like in the song "what's the colour of a 2c piece? Copper, Copper What's the colour of a 2c piece? Co-o-o-pper.. all coppers are ..... "

Rams kicked off the season with wins in firsts and seconds today and the opposition didn't turn up to their home ground in thirds ( :nta: ). The refs didn't dous any favours but then again we didn't do ourselves too many either. Our defence when chasing kicks still needs a lot of work as the...

3 Waugh (magnificent game - how many more like that does he have in him?) 2 Beale - classy attack and was I confusing him with another player who put a great hit on a Crusaders player in defence deep inside the 'tahs half 1 Douglas - didn't do anything flash but I thought he did the little...

if you wanted a NZ perspective you could try silverfern a lot of us came over from there as the kiwi bias is particularly fun. You just need to be careful what you say as they are a bit precious about Richie, use of the word choke -All Blacks and WC in the same sentence....

They'll find a new way to either miss top spot (to the Bulls most likely) or lose some very winnable games to miss the semis. They always do. And people like to call the All blacks chokers .... :fishing

I think TC is a solid player that every team needs, does the grunt work that a lot of the so-called superstars shirk as it may mess up their hair. Every team needs one or two of them if they are to be successful.

We have a similar problem on the Central Coast as what happens in Sydney. We have 1 dominant club (Avoca have won the past 5 comps) and 3 other teams who make the finals every year (Gosford, Terrigal and Kariong). As a supporter of a club who is in a constant battle for existence I both hate and...

Great to see the 'tahs didn't need to rely on Waugh to close out a tight game. Some excellent defence and reading of the play in the last 10 minutes sure did save their collective behinds.

Why? He has already signed on for the Brumbies. The 'tahs would be better off giving Paddy Ryan game-time if it is for development purposes.
