Not much going on it seems. Awfully quiet.

why is there wine in what appears to be their reception area and apparently on display as if for sale?
don't tell me they have had to liquidate the cellar.
A little side-earner from the old growth vines in Mosman - "Shore Estate Graveyard Hermitage".

I noticed that & also the big empty space in the trophy wall. I'm guessing that's where they used to keep the Bledisloe

The difficulty is not that some talented players leave when there are too many options in front of them that are performing. It is when players are not identified or removed consideration erroneously (and there is the debatable point) when depth is an issue in their position. My examples of Malone and Parkes were not that they went or that they were not identified. They were not wanted, and no fans were calling for their selection because they were rightly seen as more conservative kicking based 10s. My argument is more around the systems that select a side holistically and consider that Halangahu and Manny Edmonds were selected as a "Running" 10s because that is what the Tahs had to have to keep the fans, but under Link and then Foley/Hickey they played a largely conservative game plan. Would not the talents of Malone and Parkes have been better suited for the play the Tahs adopted?
Then there are other arguments like Elsom v Mowen

Side gig.
Had to raise some money somehow. Did you see the state of that leather couch? My cat wouldn't sleep on it.

You need to write a comedy series, a la The Games on the ARU

Decided to read the thread an am amazed at how everyone is coming to the same conclusions I have been saying for years. Maybe there is hope after all.
Twoilms post above well last nights ratings on Fox say nay SCREAM for a National Domestic Competition. Twoilms beaten by Scottish 5 division teams maybe over the top but he is right when you think where the A-League sits among the various FIFA countries playing.
Last night the extra time ratings where 460K. To give some comparison, only 2 AFL matches and 1 NRL match last year pulled more viewers on Fox. SBS extra time ratings 258 K remember on a one hour delay when the match was also streamed. the main match 367K on Fox with a peak of 553K
Australians essentially separate Football type codes between domestic and international. AFL has none but league, union and soccer do. Basketball and netball the same.

Weathered couch look has always gone done big with Mosman-based CEOs and Chairpersons*.
Not sure why.
