Wouldn't know, i don't read it. But plenty of trash in the SMH.News Corp have taken a strange turn and writing positive articles about rugby again, are they finally over the ‘acting-out’ phase of the break up?

Cully wrote one praising Kerevi (most would agree on here) and Wayne Smith suggested a calming and more steady Cooper could be the key to taking the Wallabies to a final, based on history in those tournaments.Wouldn't know, i don't read it. But plenty of trash in the SMH.
Fair enough - I find it a bit over the top to start talking about a RWC final.Cully wrote one praising Kerevi (most would agree on here) and Wayne Smith suggested a calming and more steady Cooper could be the key to taking the Wallabies to a final, based on history in those tournaments.
Both seemed pretty measured to me.
do you have a link?Fair enough - I find it a bit over the top to start talking about a RWC final.

Yeah I guess I can reel in the miserable-cnut-y-ness a little bit.Jesus, Derp, let the more optimistic among us have our moments. Just for once. The Wallabies are winning, the sun is shining and life is good.
He wasn't saying we will win the World Cup, in fact that wasn't really a factor in the article at all. It was just to say our prospects look good in the longer term. And you know what - he's right!
It's nice to be excited about the future of this team. We *could* be really good. And really that's why we do this whole thing, so I'm happy to ride the wave of positivity.
On that topic, Campo would have to be the worst presenter on the Stan broadcast (and that includes SBW) - he's not a comfortable speaker, doesn't understand the modern game and most of his input are platitudes like 'run at space not bodies' and 'play what's in front of you'.This is completely off to the side but there was a moment in the broadcast where they were talking to Horan and Campese and I was a bit shocked how old Campo looked. He looked like he could be Horan's father.
There's 7 and a half years between them.
And to think how many times I (and Bullrush I think) have been rubbished for saying there was a lot of potential in the Wallabies, and I got rubbished for it last year too!!Jesus, Derp, let the more optimistic among us have our moments.

Yeah but you're a Kiwi, you were just trying to jinx us. We're not morons.Have to say,

nah mate I someone who was involved in rugby in Aus and yook notice of what was happening. I not into trying to jinx any bugger!!Yeah but you're a Kiwi, you were just trying to jinx us. We're not morons.
I didn't think there would be much or any local coverage of the Champions League. Isn't all that done in Europe and local networks just distribute it?While Stan/Nine has been good for Rugby, I've noticed quite a lot of haters out there for their coverage of the round ball game.
I wouldn't even know where to go to notice said haters.While Stan/Nine has been good for Rugby, I've noticed quite a lot of haters out there for their coverage of the round ball game.
Comments on their Instagram posts advertisings the UCL etc. Lots of people saying to give it back to Optus.I wouldn't even know where to go to notice said haters.

Or are we still rolling out Bosnic to see what he has to say about things?
Yeah the Optus 'coverage' of the EPL just incorporates regular English punditry. Maybe that's how the EPL chooses to sell its right. Although i think there might be some other content - a wrap up or something.Comments on their Instagram posts advertisings the UCL etc. Lots of people saying to give it back to Optus.
Not sure - lot of people complaining that there is no punditry before/after games and at half time. So possibly they're just getting the game feed?
I don't disagree with what you say, but would it be strange if the number three team in the world did not think it was capable of making the final?Fair enough - I find it a bit over the top to start talking about a RWC final.
Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but number three for now.I don't disagree with what you say, but would it be strange if the number three team in the world did not think it was capable of making the final?
