  - James Mortimer: Very true Sheek - I cannot argue with a quote from the Don. I too remember well that game, where Lomu’s terrifying runs against the English made the AB’s gameplan for the final to be “14 men playing to...
  - sheek: James, I am often want to quote the great Don Bradman at this point - “A champion in his own era, is a champion in any era”. With respect to Lomu, I personally prefer Campese & Davies. I like versatile wingers....
  - James Mortimer: However Frank, as great as your replies are, there is one point I must disagree with. Not sure if it’s yours or not “Lomu was a phenomenon of his time but I’m not sure he’d be as effective in today’s...
  - Frank O'Keeffe: Sheek, Yeah I must’ve done something wrong because my post didn’t properly register for over an hour I think. I was thinking of posting it again… glad I didn’t. But yeah, sorry to anybody who had...
  - James Mortimer: Awesome stuff Frank. Great reading, thanks for the input. This was my ultimate hope when writing this article, that we would reflect upon our great game. Nice one mate.
  - sheek: Frank, I’ve seen those Boks-Cavaliers tests of 1986 on video myself. Shock of shocks, I saw Naas Botha actually running & passing with aplomb. We’d better keep that one quiet!!!

  - Pippinu: Qoute from my last post: “Let’s hope Adelaide are capable of doing a bit more than putting 10 men behind the ball and waiting for a lucky break or a set piece opportunity.” Nope - completely incapable of it.
  - Redb: same as always Adrian. Crowd bothers to turn up, crappy boring game confronts and they go home wondering why they bothered with the A League. It’s why 50,000 turned to Syd v Melb two years ago and have never got close to that...
- Melbourne Victory to win this year’s A-League (33)
  - Dave: AU were very ordinary…came for a point and got what such a negative attitude deserves….nothing. Only decided to play after MV had scored. Great crowd of over 27,000 deserved better than the attitude of AU….they...

  - LeftArmSpinner: hayden, They are always there or thereabouts. it just struck me that the other Blues team, the tahs, with their front row woes, should jump a plane to Boenos Aires and sign up a few of the young Argie props for S14 and...

  - TW: KB Nice that you found a 1860’s video of Harrow football. Clearly shows how it was played back then. Hasn’t been influenced by anything for 150 years. Pity that even the sokka historian don’t agree:...
