How Quade can become a Wallaby again
23 Apr 2013Why is Quade Cooper not in Robbie Dean’s thirty man squad for the upcoming Lions tour? The simple answer? He is immature and confused.

Coaching is really a poisoned chalice
22 Aug 2012The NRL’s New Zealand Warriors have not performed in 2012. Bluey McClennan has taken a sip from the poisoned chalice and passed it onto the next one. The Auckland Blues totally under-performed throughout the 2012 Super Rugby season. So Pat Lam takes a drink from the same chalice, filled with maybe the same Auckland water, [...]
