well written Steve, Year of the Dragon and sharks to sneak into 8th
A big, brutal NRL season starts tonight
the 5 minutes I have spent reading this, I want it back!!!
Tom Carter is the Waratah who couldn't
Redb, your opinion of Roy’s credible sources are the ones you agree with or suite your opinion
Answering the AFL's $1 billion question
Republican, mate you are rascist, the garbage that you are allowed to post on here is unbelievable. I will keep complaining, however the roar seems to allow your rascist rants to get through the net. Now Republican, throw some of those long words at me you learnt at St Edmunds in the many lunchtimes you spent in the library because those big mean boys were out playing thugby.
Why I left Australian rugby but came back for Rebels
thom_canberra, on reading your article, answer is simple, Victorians have been brainwashed!!!!! thats it in a nutshell.
Why there's no need for code wars in Australia
On reading John-Paul maloney’s interview with Andy Friend the following piece of the interview struck a chord with me, seems this bloke has more integrity in his little finger than the back room boys combined!!
“At home later that day, Friend sat with his wife, Kerry, for a cup of tea out the back. He was as calm and good-natured as ever, interested only that in reports of his sacking he not come across as bitter.
Certainly he had points to make and things to disagree with, but two experiences in two years were his reminders to keep his employment situation in perspective.
The first was the death of player Shawn Mackay on the Brumbies 2009 tour of South Africa. The second was Kerry’s near-fatal mountain biking crash last May, which left her in a coma for two days and from which she is still some way from full recovery.
”This guts you. I would have loved to have seen things through. But in the scheme of things, it’s only a job,” Friend said.”
Not Good Brumbies Not Good
Has Larkham's scheming struck again at Brumbies?
Republican or anyone else on here from the ACT, what is all this I am reading about property development that is being thrown around in the ACT Times regarding the Brumbies????
Has Larkham's scheming struck again at Brumbies?
I agree with what Dingo said, this is disgraceful, 2nd round, rubbish!!!!! How are they going to attract a talented coach with the club gaining a reputation for sacking them at the drop of a hat. Parramatta eels come to mind. At least the Broncos sacked their coach pre season if that is any consoliation to their fans., BTW Brett, you cannot call yourself a nappy changer until you can do it at 2am with one hand with just the hallway light peaking through the door!!!
Right Brumbies, you've made your bed, now lie in it
I am happy that the Rebels have their first win BUT, that was no penalty!!! Anyhoo, congrats Rebels
How did Rebels scrape past Brumbies?
great post Spiro, I have been to Christchurch many times and have some good friends there, my heart was in my mouth when I saw the first images, rugby is the love of Christchurch and rugby will be prominant in their recovery as they love their Crusaders and All Blacks. I am glad Australia is doing what it can to help our ANZAC brothers in their time of need.
Carnage in Christchurch, but the spirit remains strong
Koops, Redb been giving you lessons on how you google or have you been reading the Victorian education departments edited history books. Ken, growing up in Wollongong was the same thing. I went to an all boys school and I remember there was one kid from Victoria at our school who use to gone on about this game we had no idea about. Cross country football I think we called it!!!!
Nathan Tinkler withdraws $100m offer for Knights
Republican, you are a boring brokern record!!!!!You must bore the bejesus out of anyone in earshot in your life. Give it a rest my brainwashed friend!!!!!
AFL talking the wrong language to Sydney
pot calling the kettle black my friend. You quote “I certainly do not condone this sort of stereotyping that the likes of Eddie McGuire are prone to”…….. you are on here almost daily for the last 18 months stereotype casting Kiwis!!!! Pull your head in Republican, you are no better!!!
AFL talking the wrong language to Sydney
my half a dozen or so times I have watched rugby in New York over the last few years, I was really impressed with the dedication of the clubs involved and the players. The times I have watched them,there was a good atmosphere , maybe a 1000 plus watching and a standard of Sydney 1st grade in subbies. I think there is definately a healthy base to develop the game.
and this is a also a positive rugby story from the United States
American rugby: Onwards and upwards
that is such an unAustralian post republican

On a positive note, King wan Chinese restuarant (my mate has the knife Peter Gow used to cut up the Dragons jumper in the restuarant) is back upstairs at the leagues club and after eating there the other night, old mate is still knocking some good Chinese tucker. Mrs Nemo and her entire family are sharks tragics so I ride this painfull journey every year through them.
Cronulla Sharks to bite back in 2011?
over the last 10 years or so, I have probably got to the States about once every month or so (mostly east and West coast, not so much in the mid). One thing I have noticed is the general awareness of rugby has increased somewhat within the circles I have moved in when in the US. This is not to say for a moment that it is a shadow of American football, hockey, basketball or baseball and a myriad of other sports. My personal rugby experiences in the US have been quite enjoyable, playing against the USMC and US Navy in Honolulu in the early 90’s seems like a lifetime ago, they were big boys but not so great at scrummaging, now on the sideline I have watched a few games over the last couple of years in NY, mostly NY Old Blues home games, they seem to be pretty good, about Sydney subbies first grade on a good day!!! (few Brisbane boys and the odd Kiwi) but their technical skills were far better than when I played against US military sides. The one bonus Rugby has is that it has a common field shape to American football gridiron fields. This is a huge plus. I had an interesting conversation last year with a bloke from Seattle in San Fran (while watching Stanely cup) at a bar called Knuckles sports bar at Fishermans Wharf. Hearing I had an Aussie accent, he asked me do I prefer rugby or league?? I said rugby and asked him what the difference was?? After telling me he believed league was the most marketable sport in the US from a scratch position if it was developed right because he said it was as dynamic as American football and simpler to follow on TV and would suite American viewers and media. I asked this bloke had he ever been to Australia, answer NO. I realise talking to one punter in a bar means zero, however 10 years ago that conversation would not of occurred.

I am not a Kiwi Republican (I think this is the 3rd time you have asked me if I was a Kiwi over the last few years with me answering every time no, but should that matter my rascist friend??), I was born in Wollongong hospital, and as a proud Aussie, I think you are a small minded Rascist!!!!!!!! Shame on the Roar for allowing you to continue your anti Kiwi garbage. I will complain about you again, they will say you are being moderated, and you will continue to publish your PRO ACT ANTI KIWI garbage. You refer to “our game”, mate its not my game.

Footy, its actually called “KNOX Grammar” and they are a blue ribbon rugby school!!!! FACT. But then if you were spruiking this to a room full of Victorians, they would believe you!!!

Republican, how do you get your anti Kiwi repetition past the mods??? I have complained about your rascist post numerous times and Zac assures me you are being moderated, yet every other week when I log on here, you a spraying us with this Rascist garbage because you have a dislike of Kiwis!!! But then again, this post will be moderated for critiscising old mate!!!

Could someone answer this question for me. Does Izzy play in the back pocket or the forward pocket and what is the pocket??
Izzy ready for the AFL? Not by a long shot
