I'm probably wrong about him when he addresses the team in the sheds, but he exudes an 'it's a game of footy, we'll all cope' vibe.
Actually, Hoss writes Friday's news.
I used to write the news, Sully. It's a fairly low bar!

We like Hoss! Don’t we?
Let’s talk QC (Quade Cooper). Has he reneged on the Barbarian team involvement or the tour, or has Rennie just jumped the gun? Did QC (Quade Cooper) get his Australian passport. I’ve been away so just catching bits and pieces.

I know there's a fair amount of snobbery in the Forums aimed at the front page. But there is a lot of humour out there and some clever writers. Also, very little parochialism except in good humour.

QC (Quade Cooper) has been granted his passport. Also, Rennie has apologised for announcing Cooper for the BaaBaas without consulting his Japanese team first, think it's been rectified and Cooper will play. No news about him not playing Japan so you assume that's fine.

Thanks for that. I was a bit worried that QC (Quade Cooper) had a motive to gain him passport and move on. Glad to see he’s sticking by us.

It was his cunning plan to be a mercurial playmaker, play 70 or so tests for the wallabies, win a Super Rugby title. then fall out of favour with his Super Rugby coach, bide his time in QPR and Japanese 2nd division for a few years, then return to the fold because he’s pretty much the only viable backup due to injuries, Covid bubbles, having a NZ passport, et al, then to get picked out of the blue to start against the reigning world champs and kick the winning goal after the hooter for the win and give supporters here something to cheer about purely to get an Australian passport. Bravo Quade

From what I’ve seen Raper would’ve be an amazing 7 in those days too. They did play with unlimited tackles and 3 yard back defence, so it would’ve been similar to todays rugby.

Raper was amazing. There used to be a club in downtown Sydney called the Mandarin Club, it was at the corner of Goulburn and Pitt. It was pretty popular way back when because it was open until dawn. It was not unusual to see Raper there in the early hours of game day and leave with a girl on his arm. Apparently he would eventually get a bit of sleep, then go to the nearest oval and "run it out". Then head to the game and absolutely kill it.

Mandarin Club was still there when I started working near there around 2000 but I think it went into administration about a decade ago.

Yep, too much competition, I think.

Was well and truly still running when I worked less than 50m away in Goulburn St in the 70/80s. Often had lunch there, but never ran into JR I have to say. Used to get some top entertainment acts, Shirley Bassey for example.
