Wow!! These are huge. I'll never accidentally walk out early on a Tahs game again.

That's borderline distracting for the players..

Yeah I was there the other day, they were playing videos on the new screens. They are fucking sensational, the images are so crisp. Like watching at home on HD.

Which will suit a lot of the networkers at the rugby because they no longer have to watch the actual game. Personally, I don't see why they didn't spend the money on upgrading the actual facilities.

So having through about the grubby copy of the game I watched, I'm not unhappy about where we are. As someone pointed out the other day - last year we were 4 from 8 at one point.

Our fixes are easily identifiable (handling, mostly) and our fitness is only going to get better.

Other teams are starting a bit faster than us, and I reckon we're even going to lose a couple more, but we'll be there at the pointy end.

It's ageist that Waratahjesus is excluded.

Hey,

Was searching around for a 2015 fixtures .ics file for my calendar, but could only find one with every game of every team. Don't know why they don't provide this on the website just for the Tah's fixtures.

So I edited the generic one to create the attached. Hoping the fixtures don't change and all caveats on it working on your system. Normally you just save then double click on it or import/open.

James

PS assume I'm not allowed to post in the 'Discussions' forum - so I posted here instead.

Hopefully you blokes are in for a rough afternoon come Sunday at the football stadium!

I'm looking forward to seeing the screens on the weekend, but I've got a sneaky suspicion that a fair portion of the screen will be taken up by adverts.

solution to the potgeiter/2 years situation. Next year, the reds sign JP, with no argument from the tahs. in return, the tahs sign Adam thompson from the reds. We then swap every 2 years. simple

 

[Braveheart81]

Unless Jackpot starts playing better, it's going to be Tahs fans suggesting that the ARU don't let the Waratahs re-sign him for a third year and fans of other clubs saying they should let us re-sign him.

 

[Scrubber2050]

Jackpot is certainly not playing anywhere near what we have all come to love (that style). This year, largely he has been ineffectual

Nice result, enjoyed the game. Jacpot improved, Folau "like Mike", forwards dominant, and the value of a better bench obvious. Good on Latu on debut, threw accurately - albeit flat and was into everything. A few too many defensive fubars though, and some brain-fart decisions close to full time show we've still got some ways to go - but we're on track. Loved the execution at the set piece, and disruption of the rolling maul.

Hoping for good news on Kuridrani, the impact looked rough. Looks as though it'll all be overshadowed by Pocock's claims of homophobic baiting by the Tahs though - ironic cover on smh online, Pocock's wrist looks decidedly limp

T-firmly-IC, however having media involved already is just wrong - at least give the organisation the opportunity to deal with a complaint, but going public only being the remedy if the organisation fails to act appropriately. My 2c (applies regardless of the issue, be it racial, homophobic, etc) - how will we know if the organisation actually has integrity if issues are thrown to the media circus as the first option?

Feeling a bit better this week than I was last. But yeah, still things to clean up, including our scrum...

the conversation with pocock was audible over the referees microphone.. the issue went public from the get go..

Nonetheless i dont believe keeping it under-wraps and dealing with it internally is setting the right example, if we want to stamp out homophobia in sports it needs to come from the very top and if homophobic slurs were made then punishing said player sets an example for all layers of rugby.

Yep, reading that now (re: audible mike) - which makes my comment entirely redundant. Ironic however is Pocock's comment "you can't say that, there could be gay players out there" - I'm sure he'd reword that given the chance - you don't need to be gay to be offended by either homophobia or dumb/lazy sledging.

I find this poor humour. just the type of crap Pocock is trying to draw attention to.

 

[BDA]

i say good on pocock for having the balls to say something. If that type of stuff is going on on the field it needs to be addressed. This isn't the 1980s.

So is the optimism gnome back? Who's house is he bunking at this week?
