Brett McKay and Ryan O’Connell are getting a second medical opinion in episode 35 of the Cheap Seats podcast.
In this episode, Ryan shares his growing love of inanimate objects, while Brett urges the Waratahs to move the hell on.
Episode 35 talking points:
Another great #AskTheCheapSeats on the counter-intuitive move to stand down Israel Folau.
Super Rugby: A couple of cracking Australian derbies, and a chance for the Western Force to go top in Australia. The Waratahs need to get it together, plus some FTA interest from 2016.
NRL: more upsets and surprise results, issues for the Roosters and Cowboys? Melbourne get up after the bell, and the Glenn Stewart fiasco threatens to derail Manly.
The now-famous token wraps of AFL and the A-League, including a farewell to Harry Kewell.
Worst Case Scenarios for this week, in which the boys awkwardly shopped at the same store.

So what, it would galvanise the tahs and also bring the crowds back to S15 just to give it the ARU. People are so sick of this derelict administration that has run rugby into the ground.
whatever the text equivalent of shouldering arms in cricket is, that's all I'm offering up right now, Johnno. You're on a different plane to me today, mate...
Yeah lunch mate, steak sandwiches, meat pies, a roast beef, pizzas what. What the, means the menu ain't gonna be good, no wonder we cal it cheapseats podcast, I reckon devon sandwiches it seems to be on the menu Brett, with that answer ha ha.
And this matter is at a close.
Hope the Reds can find that tempo from the second half again when they next play. It would've been a classic win had they got there.
He placed a hand on Quirk's back, but didn't seem to grab him. It wasn't a 'bind' really, in fact it's technically illegal (as it would be an incorrect bind to a ruck) but realistically, no ref is ever going give a penalty for that in the absence of other factors. Quirk grabbing him is also illegal and likely to get penalised, especially close to the line
I'd imagine most refs would agree that the correct sequence would be a penalty against Quirk which would then be reversed following the punch. Penalty against Moore (probably yellow card), no advantage played, no try.
The Tahs may or may not have won with him but he would have been a MUCH more dangerous threat than Lance, that is hard to argue. I probably should have put it the other way around - I would definitely have tipped the Force had I known IF wasn't going to be in the team. Unfortunately I didn't find out until too late. I'm not trying to big note IF (there are plenty of others to do that) but I saw him to be the fresh legs that would have been just the tonic the Tahs needed to get back their try scoring habit.

Excellent. So it only took an extra couple of days to clear. About the same length of time to clean up the egg from Bill and Ewen's face.

Who cares about Folau's throat when you could be talking about Aaron Smith's honey badger?

Brett, I hope you're not implying that I'm an Expert!! Do we have any idea in when IF will be playing again?

And that's fair enough Shop. I can imagine more Experts would've done the same thing if it was known earlier..

actually, you cant be offside in goal. but Moore bound to Quirk first, and should have been carded as a result of the punch
