Oh, bit different when the shoes on the other foot eh, Tony?! 😂

Why mention the others when my reply is to you?! You didn’t seem to need their support in your email to me?

Oh, you’re one of those guys, likes to give but can’t take it in return?! Duly noted. 😂

'Inappropriate': Eddie puts Laurie in his place over Wallaby criticism, explains Quade battle, gives Hoops, TT update

Hey Tony, not blaming (or victim-blaming 😱 ) you guys at all…just highlighting “The Roars” propensity for quantity over quality 😂

Hmmm?! Interesting times as a Storm member, original fan.

I believe Bellyache or whoever chose Munster over Nico Hynes made a mistake. For all Munsters other-worldly talent, I believe his ego is hampering the Storm’s cohesion.

I just don’t see the “mental-steel” in this team. Specially when compared to Storm teams of old. Or the Panthers…

Interesting reading a while ago, Storm’s win percentage is higher with just Huges as opposed to both Huges and Munster.

Nothing I’ve seen this year has proven otherwise. Could still be wrong of course, just my “gut-instinct” or a fact-learned bias…

Is it inappropriate though?! A well-respected, long standing servant of Australian Rugby is asked his thoughts, replies honestly and then gets called out for it?!

It’s about as inappropriate as Goldie’s comment about Quade…all clicks and comments, aye Ed’s?!

You’re a braver man than I, Fiwi! 😁

Ex-All Blacks World Cup winner could still earn Wallabies call-up by Eddie, Australia A to play Portugal in Paris

Haha, me too. A certain Ed blocked my last account after “v1ct1m-bl@m1ng” me…seems I’m still skating on thin ice 😂

Not sure you’d want to go to France currently Fiwi, have you seen the state of the country? Hoping the tournament goes ahead and the players/staff remain safe while there.

Choosing to ignore your own countrymen’s trolling comments just shows your bias Mushi. Plenty from both sides of the ditch. By all means call Nakinz out, but don’t preach from upon that sanctimonious high horse like it’s exclusive to Nz.

Following their Coach’s example perhaps?! 😂

That’s a good point about affecting his confidence BA & not something I considered. But, you are correct. Would be a shame to dent his confidence while he’s still developing. Hopefully he can progress as he’s a great prospect. As they say, “You can’t coach speed!”

CONFIRMED: 34-man Wallabies squad for Bledisloe series against All Blacks as trio axed in shake-up

Hey West, I’ve replied but it’s gone to the nether. Ed’s don’t like being called out 😂

Agree on the 13 issue Jez. I’d put Flook in, definitely has potential. The general consensus around his limitations seems similar to those concerns around Ikitau at the earlier stage of his career. Ikitau has blossomed well and I believe Flook has a similar upside. Good communicator, defensive ability and distribution skills. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders too.

Peter, while that’s true about Toole’s defence during those games, at least he has some semblance of attacking nous. Vunivalu’s defence was just as poor without any attacking “upside” when compared to Toole. I say give him a chance, couldn’t do any worse could he?

I agree Todd, England completely outplayed us in the semi.

Correct article West, but aimed at the comment section. All these “Aussies” having a go at Kiwis for being here/commenting etc. Sick of it…do they consider what their ancestors went through, to only put us through it too?

Hope no one buys that cake for you Ken, and not in a nasty way. But, they’ll be saving you from a poor excuse of a “Rugby show”, sans Kirstie of course. 😂

So you were just here to troll, that’s mature. Shame, as when you’re not taking swipes, your contributions can be well-considered and provide an interesting and welcome viewpoint. But, there’s no place for r@ci$t remarks, despite the Ed’s doing next to nothing about it.

There is a whiff of myth about this Springboks side - and they were badly exposed by All Blacks' coaching team

Nice article Avid!

My five cents, I wonder how much of Dean’s “player-empowerment” style is still impacting the Wallabies?

As much as Cheika cops the blame for poor discipline in his teams, I believe it was a “carry-over” from Dean’s reign.

The “toxicity” as Quade described it has continued. Players “empowered” but not held accountable. Then when the odd time they have been, the toys have been thrown out of the cot.

I have no hard evidence, only my opinion. But, take Kurtley for example. Never ever improved his defence or tactical nous. But, shown undue favouritism while others weren’t. When things aren’t perceived to be “fair”, it can definitely affect the teams “morale”.

Not saying the morale is bad now, just a “hang-over” with a few of the players from that generation of players.

Why the Wallabies discipline is so hard to fix and you should stay on the Eddie Jones hype train a bit longer
