Well, I think I’ve got enough quotes.

Given the turmoil that has plagued Aussie rugby over the last few months it’s probably time for some light relief.

As much as I enjoy the frank and insightful exchange of ideas about the game of rugby, half the fun of The Roar is reading the comments, some of which are priceless. Here is just a selection from the last couple of months. Enjoy.

This is the product of one hand typing.

Also x-factor? More like text-factor badumtish.

And we Tahs’ fans can mutter into our chardonnay that it’s all a Qld plot…

“Missile assets”?

I doubt the RAAF wouldn’t want to use both of them.

TK sang it in the sheds.

HS didn’t, though – probably plotting an insurrection. Or maybe just doesn’t like singing. Or know the words. Or wondering just where the hell is “Girtbysea”.

I think you and I must have watched different games. The Wallabies are the ones in gold, right?

No stats for that, but there are stats that make it clear that doing a dance before the game greatly increases your chances of winning.

I don’t always agree with Spiro, but when I do, I read one of Scott’s articles to work out where I went wrong.

I don’t blame French rugby, I blame Robbie Deans, Craig Joubert and Julia Gillard.

What’s Defence?

Defence is the thing Beale should be sitting on the outside of…

Watching him pick the Tahs, because thats what he knows, is a bit like watching a dog return to its own vomit.

Chivas | November 20th 2014 @ 3:18pm
Without responses like this there would be no conversation. You complain on the one hand and feed it with the other… Sounds like the parent smacking their kid and then demanding they stop crying…

I think any adult male who enters a spa with flouro budgie smugglers along with 10 of his mates should face scrutiny…

In a field that is absolutely full of disingenuous arguments, this one takes the cake.

Sigh! I think I enjoyed rugby more when there were no mobile phones and jumping on line was what whingers accidentally did.

RodMac | November 20th 2014 @ 12:17pm
I’d swap Beale for Brodie Retallick’s shoelace.

Can we stop with the “x”-factor and instead insist on “good execution of fundamental skills” factor??

RobC said | November 20th 2014 @ 4:53pm
Interesting. Some players knocking on the door. Some are texting from their phone

redbull said | November 20th 2014 @ 3:42pm
His best position would be left right out. Enough X-factor in the backs without carrying another in the forwards

Jack | November 21st 2014 @ 8:12am
Don’t stand up; stay bound and push.

If you get a cap for 100 Tests… what type of headware do you get for 100 tests as captain? Some sort of 19th century naval hat hopefully.

Future Prime Minister of NZ this bloke. Might even get the tap on the shoulder by William and told “I’m not worthy, here you’re the King of the British Empire. And whilst you at it you can have Kate too”.

Sheffield Shield v Test Cricket
Winfield Cup v State of Origin
Adam West v Christian Bale
AlsBoyce v Scott Allen
A League v World Cup
Riding to the shops for some milk v Tour de France
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens v Heroin
Holding hands for the first time in grade 3 v A night with Scarlett Johansson
Its all about a massive step up in class.

Kiwis don’t count cricket because they can’t play the game. We used to bowl underarm to them and they still couldn’t win. Even my little sister can handle underarm.
