To be fair to Hunter he did pass once, first time in about 3 years

Reds' 'unbelievable, unfathomable' double disaster sums up shocker as Force spring stunning upset

Everyone, but mainly the blokes, will be proud wearing a “Map of Tassie” on their outfit

Devils ready to raise hell: AFL's newest club goes back to the future with traditional jumper as stadium furore rages on

I’ll have to watch again, in the game I saw last he missed touch from a penalty, cut in twice when had an overlap, ran when he had an overlap, did a silly grabber to hand back possession, then did a great pass for a try and was suddenly a genius.

'No one backed us': $8 outsiders Waratahs upset Crusaders AGAIN as Edmed steps up to deliver famous win

Players get a whack to head and don’t ‘feel’ it all that much doesn’t mean it hasn’t done any damage.
Perhaps some fine tuning about extent needs to be done for sure, but it’s not going away and looking at some older players, it shouldn’t.

DMac injured ahead of Brumbies clash, smart mouthguard leaves All Black's mouth agape as he's hooked at crucial moment

Hard to disagree with what was said, but having a history of head knocks registered from a young age, via mouthguards, would IMO, help a great deal in assessing each individuals susceptibility to damage

The Wrap: Concussion is a key area where Australian rugby can become a leader, not a follower

Both the AFL, who announced a deal last week, and the NRL on Friday, announced deals with HITIQ to use their impact mouthguards for head knocks, in a far ranging commercial deal and a 4 team comprehensive trial respectively. The deals cover men and women.
Where is the rugby deal?
Who is leading in this regard…not Rugby

The tears of a clown

Green makes most of promotion but questions remain over best spot as Bartlett's burst propels Aussies to victory

Thank you, I see it now, told you I was stupid

'I thought I was done and dusted': Tears flow after emotional Marsh wins surprise AB Medal as Ash snares women's top gong

I am pretty stupid…who was the Test player of the year

'I thought I was done and dusted': Tears flow after emotional Marsh wins surprise AB Medal as Ash snares women's top gong

For me…
Test player of the Year…Cummins….
One day player of the year…Maxwell….
Don’t know why they don’t have those awards….
Best overall player….Mitch was very good…best, not sure

He didn’t do his job at all…he got out. If he hadn’t we would won. Silly comment.
His bowling wasn’t terrific, he got one wicket in the Test.

Test Mortem: Green’s golden status fading as batting unit becomes fragile, Windies need help to kick on from Gabba glory

Cam needs more than a couple of FC games. There are many, especially here on the Roar, that have no understanding of the step up in class to Test from Shield cricket.
Some clown even suggested that Shield was the highest level in Australia ….shows a complete ignorance of high level sport.

Besieged batting duo face moment of truth with Windies setting Aussies tricky target as Marnus slump continues

Worn out…at 23….poor guy

Smith's time is up: Selectors miss golden chance to look to the future with short-sighted leadership decision

Didn’t say he was dropped…
Could have played the Australia A game, could have played BBL….could have played a bit of cricket

Smith's time is up: Selectors miss golden chance to look to the future with short-sighted leadership decision

Green is being mollycoddled way too much. He needs to play much more cricket than he does.
Didn’t they leave him of the recent Tests because of poor form…yet there he was playing water boy (good name for a band)

They mainly came into prominence as a support for the Yes campaign, over the past year or so, I think they look awful, but I don’t like aboriginal art much much either.

'Looked like Chennai': Ponting blasts 'substandard' pitch as rank turner helps Agar to ridiculous figures

Obviously you don’t know what virtue signalling means with that comment

'Looked like Chennai': Ponting blasts 'substandard' pitch as rank turner helps Agar to ridiculous figures

What’s with the virtue signalling shirts that keep getting trotted out in the BBL.
I agree it would good to have an indigenous or three playing in the the IPL, apart from SB, but cricket has rarely been their thing…

'Looked like Chennai': Ponting blasts 'substandard' pitch as rank turner helps Agar to ridiculous figures

Great cricketer, who greatest decision was hiring his current manager, who completely changed 90% of the population’s opinion of him after the SA debacle….sheer and utter genius that bloke.

A farewell to remember: Warner wows SCG one last time as Aussies polish off Pakistan ... but cap mystery lingers

My point was if you were going to experiment, Head is likely to be a better proposition than Green

Giving Green light to opener experiment could work - but that doesn’t mean it’s the right option

Historically, you bat your best at 3, as they get a bit older they drop down a bit.
Green doesn’t fit the bill for 3.
Not sure he fits the bill for opener either.
Travis Head averages 50 in one dayers opening, I would be more inclined to try him

That NSW fast bowling contingent that has been relentlessly mocked by a certain WA bloke with obvious limited understanding of the game, is wonderful. Sure they have some downtime at times, but if one is struggling, another steps up…awesome teamwork

'Cool': Captain Cummins dishes out perfect, one-word response to Pakistani's shock 'better team' claim

The worst part of the decision is that she thought his fingers were under the ball, therefore the catch was fair.
However it is quite clear his fingers were on top of the ball…so her reasoning was completely flawed.
