I want to wish Toutai and his family a speedy recovery. He inspired me to keep playing rugby in an AFL state. Get well soon legend.
UPDATE: Toutai Kefu 'expected to survive' violent machete attack, family members also hospitalised
Love “Slo-Mo Jo” but can’t agree.
Luc Longley won 3 consecutive championships with the greatest team of all time.
Bogut was NBA All 3rd team and NBA champion.
Mills is an NBA champion and Ingles 3 point shooting equal (although close)
Simmons will be better.
As I said – I love Jo and it is great to highlight his awesome career. But best? Nah
Joe Ingles is the best basketballer Australia has ever produced
Wow. The pure selfishness of the Players Association and the chief cry baby Dangerfield as well as the old VFL crew has been exposed.
Of course Vic remains a filthy cesspool of community transmission whilst other states are clean.
Hubs in SA/WA/NT/Tas and even QLD always made far more sense.
People have to travel for work Patty. You are well paid for kicking a ball. Deal with it and move on.
Now the season is under threat.
I for one can’t be happier that the VFL, whoops AFL, season may go under because of the Vic first attitude. You fools.
AFL season under cloud after Conor McKenna tests positive for COVID-19
I though the point was that 3 games could then be played in 2 weeks if a compressed schedule was required? Given that Vic still has community transmission I’m not convinced at all the season will proceed exactly as scheduled.
Integrity this, integrity that: Why the AFL needs to change their tune on 16-minute quarters
Ditch the series altogether
Too many dumb ass decisions.
Start a GP feeder and GT series.
Open it up – get back Audi, BM and Merc.
Accept Holden v Ford is dead and move on
With Holden out, what’s next for Supercars?
Joe, I have been on this site for a very long time.
I have never read something as illogical and poorly thought out from a senior member of the Roar.
Pieces like this give Folau’s views even more airtime.
Now the outrage merchants and clickbait purveyors will hype this up no end.
It could have flown under the radar without as much as a sound bite but your piece wages the battle again away from the sensible middle.
Roosters should derail plans to face Folau
Hi Jay. I think you know why it will fail – playoff grind. In one off games the defensive deficiencies can be masked – but come playoff time it won’t help. There is going small (eg Warriors as you mention and even the Bulls death lineups with Rodman at C) but this is getting a bit silly. If you had Giannis or Simmons – maybe – but not with the current lineup.
The previously stale Houston Rockets are now the NBA's most compelling experiment
Professional sport needs a professional attitude – ie. the best equipped person for the job at hand.
The problem is there is too much undermining in Australian Rugby and nationality becomes another “tool” for these true “Trojan Horses” to use.
Until there is a national program as Spiro mentioned then it is hard to see an Aussie being the best candidate for the job. An whilst provincial and club self interest rules good national programs will not exist.
I would always prefer an Australian head coach of the Wallabies but
Rennie and Penney should be the last of the NZ coaches in Australian rugby
Hey Andy. Hindmarsh is behind the entertainment centre where the Sixers play. Both are close to the city and linked by the multi-million dollar tramline extension.
Upgrading where it is would be fine. It’s the facilities, lack of roof etc that are the problem.
Would a winter season even work in the A-League?
A jump shot can be gained with time. His asset set otherwise, is a little more difficult to obtain.
An imperfect Ben Simmons is still having a star's impact
To quote the great Bill
Got him, yes! Marvellous effort that
David Warner deserves more respect
No excuses for Warner but many astute observers have noted a distinct lack of reverse swing across many different matches since the Newlands episode. Makes you think it was more common that the sanctimonious would have you believe.
David Warner deserves more respect
A lot of discussion in this thread regarding injury risks. Fatigue related injury is a well known concept in ACL injury literature. I would expect that the ability to get in position for a lower and less dangerous tackle also decreases when fatigued. I am all for an 8 player bench.
The biggest improvement in the game to improve scoring would be TMO overview of a rigid offside line. Stop the cheating on a rush defense. Use the computer to draw a line. Notify the on field official immediately if a breach. 3rd offense in a possession is a yellow. There you go….. solved the rules for ya 😉
Don't go changing rugby union's laws
No because they made all the running and deserved the fortune they got. I’m a believer in making your own luck. I also thought the maul try being disallowed was tough.
However, a few of those “back and forward” errors in other games could have led to all black tries. The bounce of an oval ball is variable and unpredictable!
The Wrap: Do the World Cup semis tell the truth about the final?
Hi Highlander. I actually though there were a number of English errors. This was somewhat proven in a few stats I saw. What was amazing is that when there was an English error they were almost always able to pressure the All Blacks into one shortly after. Normally ABs dominate teams in the turnover, but the English errors were often with close range passing and their always seemed to be support to defend in broken play.
To be honest I wasn’t sure how much of this was actually preparation or how much was fortune on the day! Certainly having to chase the score put some pressure on.
The Wrap: Do the World Cup semis tell the truth about the final?
I’ve been complaining about this for years. Game has gone soft and then selective application of what is dangerous based on outcome not intent. It’s crazy
Five talking points from England vs All Blacks
Please show me any sensible comment he has ever made on the Wallabies. It’s all “class” minus the “cl”
All Blacks all over: England knock New Zealand out of Rugby World Cup
On the standards of this RWC he should have been carded. I’m not advocating that by any means but with the focus on high contact plus deliberate and after the play I think he was lucky.
Five talking points from England vs All Blacks
Yep. But he isn’t dumping on the bad on field attitude shown by Read. The massive JB fail. The huge choke by the 3 to 1 favourites. That bloke needs a massive dose of humble pie and I hope he is enjoying it cold at the moment.

Few great kiwis on here paying respects to the better side. My only question is where is Jokerman? missing in action like BBBBBB….
All Blacks all over: England knock New Zealand out of Rugby World Cup
Agree and I said the same in 2017. He is a motivator and nothing more. This can work with decent cattle in the short term. He refused to evolve and learn. I’m not sad today.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika resigns after quarter-final loss
World Rugby threw him under the bus to appease home unions. It was a great all RC semi-final series in RWC 2015. The NH couldn’t stand it.

Done. I just think poor old Joubert has copped a lot over both games when he actually did a reasonable job.

Busy work and school periods….
Adelaide match had no one to start but after work picked up – I was there with the family after school / work for the Aussie dig – some decent batting too.
I think there is an awareness issue in November and it’s made worse by the pay TV issue but it’s no unexpected with the timing.
