I think Manly changed in about 1997.

Re: Matt Giteau facing suspension Gits is a clown. Notwithstanding the disallowed try, and lthough we aren't comparing like for like, I'd say Walsh still outplayed Gits too.

I think what Rocky proved when he played a few tests at 8 is that he isn't a great test 8. Until last year, Palu was criticised and yet Rocky didn't replace him. It appears as though the form backrowers (plus Pocock who has been injured) are Pocock, Rocky, Hodgson and Higginbottom and so they...

As long as its an Oz team winning the S14, I wouldnt care which one. I'd trade both the Brumbies S14 titles for the 2003 World Cup win.

An interesting admission by Sivivatu and based on cost/benefit analysis. ie if I don't chase I'll be more dangerous in attack which outweighs the benefits of chasing. Good players know when to inject themselves into a game. There arent many, like McCaw and George Smith, who can make crucial...

Your most controversial selection is stacking the bench with 4 backs. Then Hynes at 13. I see merit in the Weeks argument. Robinson isnt in top form. I don't think you watch enough world rugby.

Good post. Not sure I agree with all of it. I like the word "imponderables".

He was very good THAT year.

he never played for Manly. You are thinking of Seranusi "Bruce" Raque (that spelling is definitely wrong).

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. Somerville is well known as being ambiproperous. A 19 year old Jared Warea-Hargraves played in the ARC for the Central Coast team didn't he?

Guys that is superb. Really well done. As for the stats errors, there are journalists who make far more fundamental mistakes than that and they work full time and are paid. Maybe you could set up a G&GR proof reading thread which is locked if you want some constructive feedback (or want to...

Flowers was big on his deficits and didn't necessarily produce results although he did run the ARC in 2007.

Your numbers are out but I'm sure it makes a difference.

That is astounding and an astounding waste of taxpayers money. Another astounding waste of money was the spending on World Youth Day. Someone needs to tell them that money belongs to us and we don't want it wasted.

This thread demonstrates why it's good that the wallabies aren't chosen by fans. On an interesting side note, there are theories that democracy's greatest failing is that it is a popularity contest and that the average voter is swayed by policies which may not neccessarily be for the greater...

Good colts players were being paid 15 years ago (when I was in colts). I think that to say they don't need money for colts is naive.

No to interchange. Penalties and droppies reduced to 2 points. Increased yellow cards.

Lets see what happens.

Manly are a good side who have started well the last couple of years. I don't think many other teams would have put that score on them in the first round. Hopefully things will improve.

I've had enough knee ops to give an informed opinion. If there is no bone bruising or cartilage damage, he should be able to have the op straight away and would then be right to run by August. He'll need to build up the muscle again though because it will waste big time. He might be able to...
