Unpopular opinion thread

[Inside Shoulder]

The team to be dropped from Super Rugby should be the Waratahs.
Reason 1: Most players would get picked up by other clubs, thus satisfying their employment fears.
Reason2: Would make the ARU reside and operate in an independent area thus alleviating public belief that the ARU are unaware of anything outside of Sydney and make staff appointments and Wallaby selection from an independent viewpoint.

To actually make Oz teams better for Super Rugby, 2 teams should actually be dropped, the second team being the Reds. NSW and QLD can run successful rugby competitions without Super Rugby while the other states can't.

The antarctic comes to mind

I don't understand the hype around bacon.

Edit: whoops, didn't realise this was rugby specific unpopular opinions.

Dean Mumm, after earning over 100 Caps for the Waratahs and over 50 for the Wallabies despite spending four years in Europe, was a great player.

Edit: and despite having fingers made of industrial lubricant.

The title is "unpopular" not "Untenable"

Given my last post was unpopular to the point it was deleted, I'll tone it down a bit for this one:

Every time I see a "Whats Link doing these days?" post in a Reds thread I cringe a little. I think its time the Reds fanbase emotionally detatch themselves from Ewen McKenzie. He's not coming back.

The same thing could probably be said about Quade Cooper's 2011 form. 6 years is a long time.

Its time to look forwards (and I don't mean into the rear-view mirror).

I like drop goals and believe that the Wallabies would be a more successful team if we played a game plan that included many drop goal attempts.

He certainly fucked it the first time around.

I reckon the 2005 Lions series and in particular the second test were peak Dan Carter.

He was simply incredible then.

His great strength was that he did everything to a very high level and had no weaknesses in his game.

And he just did ALL the basics, the fundamental skills, really, really well. Apart from that banana goal-kick, he never struck me as doing the freakish things, he just did everything at a high level. Even knowing when to take a tackle because that was the thing to do, not fling it away. Smart and unselfish.

Wash your mouth out!!

If anyone was going to support Dctarget's strange position of not wanting to eat bacon, surely it should have been you!

Tom Carter is a unit of measure.

I'm sitting on a train in Sydney that's absolutely full of red scarves - people on their way to a meaningless friendly to cheer agaisnt the Aussie team.

If the FFA can tap into a fraction of the inherent support for soccer in this country with some level of competence then we'll never get anywhere near their sport ever again.

Australian Super Rugby franchises execute the box kick tactic really well. Actually, the aussie Super Rugby franchises kick well in all facets of the game.

100 years ago that is exactly how the game was played.
