Quick hands - you beat me to the reply - agree entirely.

Stan, loved you as a player, those stories of you having a ciggy for warm up are right up there with Dougie Walters - true Australian sporting hero's, they don't make many like you these days - and we're poorer for it. The nice, and insightful, thing about your post is that you didn't just...

He is Pauls son.

Interesting answer, I can live with that. So what you're saying is that the ARU will pay little cash, if any? The grounds have always been a financial drain on the club - I'm a member by the way - so I guess it makes sense. Woodies get better facilities for no real cost and ARU gets a...

[quote="wamberal, post: 526934, member: 1924 We will never know the financial details, but I think you can assume that the price paid to Eastwood would be significantly less than they could get on the open market, a discounted price to reflect the value that the Club will get from being able to...

Just to add a little further information around how sensitive the brain is to repeated impact, and how little was known about it in the past, I remember, about 15 years, being in London and watching a documentary on TV that was exposing how something like (I can't remember the exact details, but...

I agree, plus I was talking to the President of one of the successful clubs (ie: no risk of demotion), a few weeks ago and he said that there was going to be change, then quickly changed the subject.

I think you're spot on here. Deans, for all his failings (whatever there were) is an enthusiastic and committed rugby man - he really believes in the beauty of the whole thing. I know that this will never happen, for a number of reasons, but it would be great if he was retained by the ARU to...

I understand what you're saying, and agree re: the vitriol, and since you are a Brumbies supporter you may well have a better radar on Jake White - maybe you know people close etc, but somehow I don't think that will phase him - didn't he face "player power" when he first went to the Brumbies...

The missing piece being McKenzie to Melbourne. I suspect you have similar information to me, which is from a reasonably reliable source.(would be more confident if Bill Pulver had told me, what what can you do! - final straw being senior players finally had enough of juvenile behaviour by...

Grey was pretty much the same as old - obviously a little slower and didn't hit as hard, but still fit, ran straight and hard and tackled well - eventually nearly knocked himself out in a tackle and came off in the second half. Walker was the same as old - incredibly skillfull - we never got...

A quote from the Australian in 2011. " ... Deans revealed that he had passed up a career as a maths and economics teacher to work in food distribution businesses..." He may have come from a farming family, but I don't think he ever was one. still, he is frustratingly inarticulate.

go to : http://www.rugbynews.net.au/ there's a section there that is last weeks Shute Shield program. Click on it and go the the very last page of the document - it has the team lists there.

Ok, so he has form - thanks for the info. Hadn't really been following the Reds this year so was unaware of those - bad look then.

Out of interest, and I don't know the answer before I ask, this is, at least, the second time you've made this accusation in this forum. I assume one was the current situation, what were the other two? Any proof?

Ha, check out the team lists - apparently Lote Tuquri is playing for Japan - and there I was thinking he was injured and couldn't play for the Tigers. Maybe it's another guy...... hmmm

Don't be threatened by that one - the eccentric bearded guy who hosts it, Costa, is a Waverley college old boy and referees a fair bit around Sydney. Seen him in action a few times and he's not bad - so there's a rugby connection there. We'll take those ratings as well!

This is my 3rd Lions campaign as a Wallabies supporter. I was there we won the 84 grand slam. I was there when we won the Bled 3 - 0 (plus many many others). I was there when Campese threw his pass. I was there when Harrison made his steal. I was there when England won the RWC and I'll be...

Lily is this in relation to Luke Jones? I thought, as a junior, he played in the same Manly Roo's team as Michael Hooper and Tom Kingston - maybe he's more of a Manly junior.
