Aussie, aussie, aussie, oi, oi, oi … eh repub – god you’re a tiresome troll

Kiwis win fiery clash against Australia

Given the finacial position then yes it is a good move for the club … now hopefully we’ll hold onto those vital players we needed to stay and hopefully get in a couple of new faces …. I only hope S & G show some faith in Zola and Clark – they’re definitely trying to build something

Are Sullivan, Gold the answer to West Ham's future?

“best back row in the competition” … really ? … think there’ll be plenty to disagree with that statement – Smith looks to be fading, Elsom has hardly set the world alight since his return from up north and holies is a journeyman …

… can they win it – no … can they make the play offs – certainly – but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Aussie teams don’t get a team into the top 4 again this year

Can new look Brumbies win the 2010 Super 14?

This is a FIFA decision in the end – not an AFC one … seeing Blatter is the one who approved the NZ team in the first place and can point to an upsurge in interest in the game in NZ and an improvement Oceania representation – it’ll be a big decision to dump them – this is nothing but posturing from bin Hammam – I expect the Pheonix will have their HAL contract renewed with no new conditions …

Long dark cloud hangs over New Zealand football

How you can defend Hadden I’ve no idea – he inflamed the situation – he has become the most unlikable Australian cricketer in a very short time frame

Shane Watson and Sulieman Benn are modern 'flannelled fools'

The Latham debate is interesting – Eddie Jones really worked overtime on him to curb his attacking flair in the international scene – to the point where he’d perfer a lump like Rogers over him … it was a real shame he could easily have been far more similar to a Campese if he was allowed to reproduce what he did for Qld … sure their would have been a few more mistakes but perhaps there may have been some really memorable moments …

An international rugby team of the decade

what final ?

Brad Haddin could be the next great keeper batsman

absolutely correct – and I’d also apply that to the “Gilchrist is a walker” concept – easier to be a perceived walker when the pressure is off …

Brad Haddin could be the next great keeper batsman

I agree Jesse .. and this issue has been festering for a few seasons now – Warnock did exactly the same thing with Sheffield Utd in the season they went down .. and then had the front to blast Man U for supposedly putting out a second string outfit against West Ham in the final game of that season – a game the hammers won to ensure survival …. Liverpool put out a 3rd string team against Fulham the previous weekend – which duly ensured Fulham’s survival when they got the vital win ….

Now it’s happening again … it’s wrong and it makes a mockery of the PL and cheats the fans … the EPL should have set in place rules for the deduction of points if this occurs and Wolves should be deducted 6 points – that will stop all this occurring ….

What’s McCarthy going to say if the circumstances outlined above occur again later in the season – if say Chelsea or Arsenal put out second string outfit against Portsmouth, West Ham, Bolton, Hull – when they’ve got a Champions league semi or final to play …

Wolves' meek surrender a betrayal of fans

Agree with those above – he’s not that good a keeper…. he won’t be considered in high esteem by other test playing countries (like Gilchrist, Healey, Marsh) as he’s seen as a cheat … throw in the bust up yesterday – which he really didn’t need to get involved in – and possibly inflamed … all adds up to far too many debits on the balance sheet …

Brad Haddin could be the next great keeper batsman

There really is only one #6 to be included – Richard Hill – the rest are just scrapping for a very distant 2nd place … and I’d placed Joost as being ahead of Du Preez … and the locks are far to similar esp if you want to play a more fast paced game – those two clods aren’t going to be that mobile and won’t be offloading a la Jack, Williams, Eales etc

An international rugby team of the decade

he also had Carter and McCaw … helps a bit when you’ve got talent like that to fall back on …

There's light at end of tunnel for the 2009 Wallabies

Maddog – got to agree with you re this sounding nothing more than straight out of contract negotiations 101 … but history certainly shows that you’re wrong on “You won’t be guarenteed a spot in any side” … plenty of big name RL players have been fast tracked into a Wallabies jersey and fallen well short … if there’s an ounce of truth in any of this (which I doubt) and he does make the leap to a S14 team – almost guarantee he’ll be in the Wallabies before the end of the year …

I could be a Wallaby, insists Thurston

F@#k me – what is it with the boody rugby codes in this country … Cooper, Friend, Beale, Gallon and now Wicks …

Beale charged with assault

Matt – did he have that option ? .. if he did then you’re correct a broncos gig would have been good for him – far better than struggling in the neather regions of the NPC … esp if they go for the 7-7 NPC split the players association are calling for – which is to be based on table position … Otago will definitely be in the bottom 7 next season …

Ex-Reds coach Mooney to coach Otago

F@#k me – this bloke really does like applying for dud jobs – Otago are almost as big a basket case as Qld – and that’s saying something …

Picking an all-time greatest One Day team

The last thing Australian rugby needs is a puff piece like this – everything that’s bad about australian reporting is in this – the over hyping of players, the classifying who is and will be worldclass in the next 2 seasons … “Classy 21-year-olds Will Genia and David Pocock may well be the world’s premier players in their respective – and key – positions with another 20-odd Tests under their belts by 2011, while 25-year-old loosehead prop Benn Robinson already is” – hogwash ..

“To Australia’s rivals, though, coach Robbie Deans is the envy of the international rugby world.” … really ? – I think every one of the major nations of the rugby (England excepted) are pretty pleased with who they’ve got and haven’t shelled out millions on a clearly floundering coach …

Australia were abject for the major part of the international season – a good result against a poor Welsh outfit doesn’t fix things over night … the “deposit’s in the bank” call is merely yet another excuse for a poor effort

There's light at end of tunnel for the 2009 Wallabies

Same old tired argument with same old worn out examples – do you keep a proforma of this garbage on your desktop ?… the only thing missing is the use of the “diaspora” somewhere in the now familar rant ….

change the bloody record

New Zealand punches well above its weight

No mushi – I’ve known it for a while – I used to like this site – but more and more I’ve noticed the wholesale repetition of subjects …. it’s boring

Australia will host the 2022 Football World Cup

Is this just another attempt at flogging a story for all its worth to garner hits on a blog – this topic was done to death all last week – yet monday arrives and the chief expert pens an article to merely restart what’s already a tired topic under the guise that Australia are in pole position to capture 2022 – when in reality they’re an outside chance at best …

Australia will host the 2022 Football World Cup

BG – if you can’t see the difference between Tiger Woods and Matt Johns then there’s something wrong with your preception …

Wallabies star Cooper charged with burglary

not quite – Oz are going to their 3rd in SA … NZ are heading to their second … Liam – the idea is not to host the whole world cup but to ease the stress of stadium availability – NZ certainly could host a 1 whole group .. but the concept would severely weaken the Oz bid inthe eyes of FIFA

Co-host Football World Cup with New Zealand

and where does New Zealand’s NPC fitl into this plan ?

Create a Super Rugby conference in Argentina

The self contained conference system is certainly is the only way to go – but be careful what you wish for – Australain rugby’s pretty light on at the moment – but maintains a #3 spot due to the fact it’s players have had regular exposure to the top drawer quality players / teams from NZ and SA … moving to a solely self contained conference will severely limit that exposure and may see the overall quality regress …
