Brumbies 'systematically taken apart by the Blues' in 'non-contest' as Larkham's men cop huge reality check

It’s going to be hard to pick any Brumbies in the Wallabies squad when they’ve been dismantled by the top kiwi teams.

They only beat the Reds by 1, the Force by 3 and the Highlanders by 6.

So perhaps not travelling as well as they thought?

Brumbies 'systematically taken apart by the Blues' in 'non-contest' as Larkham's men cop huge reality check

Well said. I wonder if QLD Rugby reads this?

I don’t go to the Reds for three reasons:

1. Food and beverage prices
2. The music
3. The manufactured “we are Red”

Feels like they are trying to create the NBA.

'Like a Scud missile': World Cup reject leads rout, but Reds suffer fresh blow with Petaia's season in jeopardy

Paisami looks fit. You cannot do what he did on Friday night with those repeat efforts in attack and defence without being fit.

'Like a Scud missile': World Cup reject leads rout, but Reds suffer fresh blow with Petaia's season in jeopardy

I’m a neutral.

Waratahs look like they play like they’re training. Lack intent in defence. Lack physicality in attack.

Watch the Reds directness tonight.

Jorgenson wouldn’t make the QLD Club XV so why are the Wallabies contracting him?

I agree referees weren’t the reason they lost. Souths should have won by 20.

JD is in denial.

Foxx off AGAIN, Wighton grabs double and Latrell booed as Souths ease Demetriou pressure

League is such a simple game.

It’s all about field position and Gerard Sutton did a great job keeping the Dogs in the game with some of the softest penalties seen in the history of the NRL. His eyesight is shot and he must be the most captain’s challenged referee in the game. Time to retire Gerard.

Souths kicking game is below average. With metres at a premium in these games some of their kicks for line after a penalty went about 8m. I don’t understand for the life of me why teams don’t strive for more distance. It’s not as if Souths pack was bending the line! So why not take 30-40 metres? Watch some union and you’ll see how! It takes pressure off fatigued forwards and deflates tired defences. But Souths once famous for their restarts are meek in attack.

Best for Souths were Tallis Duncan, Shaq Mitchell, Jack Wighton and Cam Murray.

Reserve grade performances from Milne, Tass, Hawkins, Walker, Kaloamatangi, and Mitchell.

Good efforts from Host, Burgess, Tatola, Johnston, Cook, and Moale. Some of the defence was very good signs for the future.

League is such a simple game.

Souths miss Campbell Graham coming out of trouble, in defence and just in effort plays. It’s so noticeable after the last couple of years.

There’s plenty of fullbacks. It’s not a crucial position like in rugby league.

Exclusive: NRL powerhouse set sights on Wallaby-in-waiting after ex-All Blacks boss snags Roosters star Manu

100% agree.

At the moment, Souths have a very average fullback, reserve grade centres and a NSW cup standard halfback.

Even at 40 or whatever he is, Cody Walker still cannot keep his cool and is just a petulant child when baited.

Souths are easy beats until JD picks that team you’ve named.

He hasn’t achieved anything yet.

Rabbitohs backline are toast. Cobbo, Staggs and Walsh are licking their lips and will run amok.

Too many reserve graders in the Souths team this week. They could be 0-6 to start the season.

Even the NRL has sanctioned this. Sin bin for any late hits on playmakers.

'What you permit, you promote': Reds slam late 'cheap shot', HMP set to start ahead of Lynagh in Rebels grudge match

Do the officials who let this go get to work this weekend?

Even with 2 monster screens at each end of the ground and a TMO, they couldn’t get this right.

Appalling performances should result in a sanction.

Majority of that board has to pull the pin on April 29.

They have lost the fans. We should have a say.

RA's manic Monday and how it will shape the future of the Australian game

Rugby League should give itself 8 weeks.

And all foul play or deviation from normal now should be a minimum of 8 weeks
High tackles 8.
Grapples 8.
Crushers 8.
Calling someone a pussy 8.
Missed conversions 8.
Bad post match interviews 8.
Poor try celebration 8.
Ill fitting jersey 8.
Only bloke with shirt off in dressing room 8.

'I am really sorry': Leniu cops HUGE ban as NRL judiciary hands down verdict for ‘monkey’ racial abuse at Mam

Rabbitohs had a reserve grade centre, a reserve grade winger, and the same 7 who is not sparking any creativity in attack.
But leaking 36 points on a smaller field says a lot about round 1 attitude.
It’s going to be a long season for the red and green without Campbell Graham and with an ageing Cook and Walker. The rest look like they are trying hard but you need a general and Lachlan Illias is not it. Look at the way DCE (in a dinner suit) controlled the second half.

Integrity. A word foreign to this bloke in every respect. He will try and rewrite history and play the victim.

If I never see another rugby story with this bloke’s name featured, it will be too soon.

Eddie Jones set to be appointed Japan coach six weeks after walking out on Wallabies

Will re-read Eddie’s book with this experience in my heart and see through a lot of the BS! Disillusioned fans across the country.

Over to you Phil Waugh when you get back to the “grass roots”.

Eddie Jones quits as Wallabies coach - 'Sometimes you have to eat s--t for others to eat caviar'

The Board should be refreshed too. Get rid of the career directors who are just governance box tickers and put some full time rugby people on this crisis who will work 24/7 on rugby.

Appoint some club people to keep the CEO accountable to the community connection rhetoric.

Chaos is your friend in the short term when you’re trying to save the long term future.

We just don’t have the cattle. Without meaning to pick on anyone, when was the last time a Wallaby 9 did something world class on the field? Something that made you say “he’s outstanding”?

Same with 10, 12, 6, 7, 8.

COMMENT: Eddie must be axed if he can't beat Wales - or the game will be in deep trouble in Australia

Agreed but two wrongs don’t make a right

COMMENT: Eddie must be axed if he can't beat Wales - or the game will be in deep trouble in Australia

The commentary on Eddie is really really personal.

Disgruntled journalists taking shots or ex-players who have had a run in with Eddie.

We are all depressed by the current state but hold the course please. Knee jerk reactions are wealth destroying in the stock market and the short term views in the rugby world are twenty times as myopic.

Ikitau is world class. Just not sure the circumstances are right. It’s all academic unless they win by more than 7 this Sunday.

Shame for Jorgensen but he’s a young player who has another 10-12 years at the top.

Wright and Pietsch haven’t shown the goods at this level. Tom was equally bad and good in the Baa Baas games against club competition.
