Probs because lebs have guns and knives?

Violence is not 'passion': Wanderers fans chuck a wobbly again... why is it always them?

50 minutes on the train? Would that be because Cronulla is at the southernmost extremity of a large city. Around which a train line has to be built around the waterways that make it such a great city. Shanghai, give me a break. London and Tokyo are global cities that have public transport commensurate with their economic relevance. BTW if you could catch a fictional train from Richmond to Cronulla you would find that, in Japan, you would be in Osaka! No country town…

Irony? Or patronising? Or presumptuousness? It’s all too much for me.

Must be for mighty thinkers with mighty blinkers.

It’s conceivably conceivable.

Why things could be about to get even uglier for Rugby Australia in fallout over Rebels debacle

Yep. Nobody wins here, short term.

Rebels set to sue Rugby Australia as civil war erupts, Rugby Victoria President barred from summit

You didn’t come down in the the last shower did you?

'He screwed our state': The act that still angers Twiggy Forrest and why he's not ready to jump back in

It’s an ambit claim, start high work your way down to the happy place that both party’s are comfortable. This is the first time i have availed myself of some of the details about this issue. Far out. The dude has more money than God, wants to help, knows, loves and understands the game. What i find funny is that the politics of the Rebels and the Force are in play. FFS, you are a strategic contrivance. Lap it up.

Props are fast these days.

RWC heartache, Eddie and what's next: In demand young gun delivers biggest clue yet on future

Yeah but isn’t the point of it to have 93 players on the fringe and then they move on up the ladder?Yes but the problem is the ladder, and does it exist?

Wallabies depth chart: The list that dispels the myth Aussie rugby doesn’t have enough players

The kid is solid gold. I’ve never seen a better player at schoolboy level. Of course that doesn’t necessarily transpire…
I nearly teared up when I heard the news about the knee. He’s recovered from that and another pretty heavy injury, being vaunted, yet relatively unproven and in the eyes of many just another unfortunate instalment of the Eddie farce. But that timeline in his first year out of school will set him up nicely I reckon. Good luck to him.

Exactly!!
No different than soccer all over the world too. Old mate, the new sponsor, fix it, chump change. We know it works.

Rugby Australia is back where they hoped they would never return - and their next move could make or break the game

None of this back and forth gets us anywhere. Nothing suggested addresses the elephant in the room, That is that rugby is too often boring and pedantic.

You were and you weren’t, but fair call. 2015 GF side and went alright. No excuses for the post Uncle Wayne stuff but…

2024 is the Year of the Dragon, but it looks like St George Illawarra didn’t get the memo

You’re right Tony. I’ve just tee’d up on this particular thread as I take proper stock

2024 is the Year of the Dragon, but it looks like St George Illawarra didn’t get the memo

How’s this for optimism?

Choice of spot on the hill at either Kogarah (might go twice) and WIN Stadium (hard to see when I’ll get the motivation) AND into pre-game Taj Mahal Chinese pretty easy too. Although the Bulldogs win the yum cha hands down. Another disappointment. What’s not to love….?

Yeah but I’d take some of their recruits in a heartbeat. Dragons are abject.

Maybe things have gone right. Two of them have long standings injuries they tried to keep quiet (ok not Amone, his long term issue was different) annd we dodged an bullet. Imagine if they actually legally had the dragons in a bind? Having just clutched at straws…bugger me, I have no optimism whatsoever. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Flanagan is going to have to pull a rabbit about of a hat. Big time.

Your kidding? Without Boyd dragons don’t win in 2010. FACT. an elite player who struggled to get up for lesser games. No argument.

Ha! Poor sentence structure, a wedding a few months ago and BAM! A pommie brother in law, a lippy one at that…

'What the hell is going on?': Jilted Wallaby reveals Jones chaos and tells coaching flop to 'at least be honest'

Right so how is it then when I’m told by by my very recently english brother-in-law who is an ex-player and still closely associated with Bath rugby, that, in the lead up to the World Cup Eddie was supposed to lead them to…..and so nearly did…everyone in the game there thought he was a shyster and if they got over the line in 1999 they’d take it any day of the week but FFS get rid of that little c u next Tuesday asap.

And Australian Rugby in all its guises didnt think to perhaps perform due diligence commensurate with the demands of their professions? Yes times have changed but Eddies halcyon days were at the ACT, there again there was strong Randwick connections, not least David Knox, fair player to drive them around , no argument.

Old mate shanks a right footer (he’s a leftie) just over the crossbar in 2003 and the honey moon was over. For everyone. But we have to hand it to Eddie, his bluster fooled a lot of people, here and the UK.

'What the hell is going on?': Jilted Wallaby reveals Jones chaos and tells coaching flop to 'at least be honest'

Some interesting points Old school, the one about others injured who could have tagged along instead of Jorgo particularly. Maybe Jorgo is the better for it? Maybe all those manoeuvrings is about his development? We’ll see. As before it was a straight from central casting shit show. I’d wiped Australian rugby union for the last month but there’s a lot of clarity now.

'What the hell is going on?': Jilted Wallaby reveals Jones chaos and tells coaching flop to 'at least be honest'

Jorgensen pre ACL and then, if not selected maybe no broken ankle, stood as a big part of the future. But rushed back after the ACL?? Absolute madness. The lack of consideration for this kids future was disgusting.

Totes…so who would you have as half?

'What the hell is going on?': Jilted Wallaby reveals Jones chaos and tells coaching flop to 'at least be honest'

I reckon he’s needed in the back row. I cant remember if he played centre when the sharks won the comp but in this side we need someone who can pass the ball. And I don’t mean the Lomax version of low percentage rubbish.
