Or the F… Off Back to Sydney Bears?

Nah we don’t want scraps thanks. Plenty of league history in Ipswich and Redcliffe.

No hope in North Sydney, but the Bears could blossom in Brisbane

Yeah I’d place him well and truly in the small “l” liberal camp. Which is nice, but nit far if at all from the centre of the road. Depends which road I guess.

And he’s like Philip Adams – most of his pieces oddly seem to be about … himself.

Ok pal how about you declare all your knowledge expertise and indeed identity.

Why should anyone give a rats what you think? Cause you sound like a whining g.tless keyboard warrior.

I have no idea if he’s done a decent job or not.

Over to you, champ.

McLean is openly declared to be a place-holder so I’m not sure it matters too much. He’s a long term board member (afaik) so I think that’s enough.

Is he really going to be integral to the rights negotiations? I wouldn’t have thought so.

They were a fantastic read and very witty.

F20, my father-in-law was an editor. If Fatty was writing his own copy, that’s a very rare thing!

I find national anthems at sporting events weird full stop. If it wasn’t for sports events I doubt anyone would know the words. Do they sing it in parliament? No. The High Court? No. It doesn’t seem to serve any serious civic purpose. I last sang it with any conviction when I was about 12. What exactly is the point of it?

Change it to Flame Trees and I’ll sing along.

Orr is quite mobile too is that right Train? Maybe it was someone else but I have a memory of him in the Reds trial chasing a kick like a 7.

For sure . And I think he’s one of the reasons the Brums are coming out of their rolling-maul shell.

I don’t expect too much from the Wallabies this year

Actually I’m quite optimistic, or at least more than I was the last couple of years or so. Looking at the teams listed by jameswm and Dilkington below, they’re pretty solid and they’re not coached and selected by Cheika.

No saying we’ll win the Bled, but it’s out best shot for many years.

…. 😱 that solves my wtf moment 😛

Only big query is whether Nawaqanitawase is ready. One way to find out I guess …

yeah I haven’t seen a lot of Havilli but he often looks very impressive, I was thinking on the weekend the ABs must have amazing depth if he hasn’t earned a black kit.

I agree.

That said, I try not to get too hung up on it because I’m old enough to remember the days when refs and linesmen made the call and got on with it. Personally, if someone gets a ball within an inch of grounding it over the line, I’m happy to say they deserve a try – I get sick of these ‘blade of grass’ decisions, especially given the number of forward passes they get wrong, the lack of policing the offside line … yadayadayada

Oh yeah, To’omua and Kuridrani would be a brick wall, it’s one of the reasons I prefer the idea To’omua at 12.

No easy metres, no panic high tackles, no musical chairs … from a WB perspective, I don’t care if the Aus SR sides don’t win a lot more this year, I have substantial optimism that we have the makings of a top WB side again.

Yes from what I’ve seen so far, both JOC and Lolesio are providing more in attack.

To’omua is the best defender of the 3, tho.

Hence, I presently have him pencilled in for 12, with JOC at 10.

Lolesio is the next cab off the rank for 10, I reckon. He looks like a natural, I think the biggest risk Iif there is one at all) is he might start to over-play.

I really don’t see where Beale fits into the equation.

Yes the only position for Beale atm is ‘left right out’. He’s struggling to keep his starting spot in the worst Aus SR side.

Does anyone know the laws around how much footage the TMO must review before making a decision?

I don’t know, but I’d doubt there is any protocol about it, unless that’s changed recently – we’ve seen them look endlessly at the same footage in the past. I haven’t seen it, was it a bad call, or just a quick 50/50 decision?

No Hoy you are definitely not alone. I thought the same thing when I read that line.

Yes we’ll take Naisrani thanks very much. (But fair point, he would need to keep his form up, Reds have a good BR atm).
