I think the big thing is that they are winning the close games that they have previously lost.
I’ve lost track of the number of games they have lost by a point or two after being ahead.
Of course, the buggers couldn’t do it whilst I lived out West could they! Seven years of sitting in the stands, knowing that whatever position they were in they could/would still lose, gallows humour all around. Then last year I have to move to NSW, and this happens.
Oh, and don’t let anyone tell you that they aren’t interested in rugby out west. Crowds are generally pretty good, and certainly more enthusiastic than the chardonnay drinkers at the SFS.
What’s going on with the Force?
which means that all those hyping NSW need to calm down a bit – there only away game so far was in the ACT for gods sake
Home is where the heart is in 2014 Super Rugby so far
Got to agree completely.
Moved over from Perth last year, where I’d been a member of the force since they started.
Games in Perth were great, wonderful atmosphere and a lot of gallows humour.
Joined the Waratahs. Last year most of the games were friday nights which made it a VERY long day at work. Crowds were pathetic, and didn’t seem remotely interested in the game. An awful lot of people spent the time wandering around and chatting, and whoever thought it would be a good idea to hand out free flags at each game didn’t think about small children beating the crap out of each other with them!
Went again on Sunday – nothing has changed this year either.
Why the Tahs' fans are the worst in the world
But Australia lost.
So of course SA either tampered with the ball or doctored the pitch.
Or both.
Warner questions reverse-swing wizards
No, some of his teammates don’t deserve to be there. But as they haven’t announced the squad yet, we don’t know if they are. Bear in mind Prior was dropped.
The fact remains: in a team requiring a major rebuild, should they stick with a 33 year old with a poor recent record (irrespective of his other baggage)
KP the scapegoat for Ashes debacle, and it’s a disgrace
But the question isn’t about everyone else.
The question is….does KP deserve to be in the team on his recent record?
KP the scapegoat for Ashes debacle, and it’s a disgrace
In the last 2 years tests he is averaging 38 and has 4 centuries in 26 matches. He is 33 years old.
Why shouldn’t he be dropped?

Basically, money buys World Cups…
You are correct, which means that the TV networks will decide when the WC is held.
Pick the wrong time, and some serious renegotiations will be occurring.
Get it straight, FIFA is a laughing stock

Tony – shouldn’t you be back in Canberra running the country by now?
Get it straight, FIFA is a laughing stock
So you want just 3 teams – OK. How about WA, Melbourne and Canberra?
Some people need to realise that the game doesn’t belong just to NSW
Australia needs to go back to three Super Rugby teams
Does the following sound familiar?
Mitchell Johnson will prosper at the WACA but struggle elsewhere
Johnson is the epitome of a confidence player at Test level.
When conditions are in his favour he shines. When he bowls well his batting flourishes.
But when he doesn’t feel quite right or begins with a bad spell, he often disintegrates.
Unfortunately for Johnson, playing against England conjures horrific memories – the kind which may to rattle him and prompt the uncertain, wayward Mitch to emerge.
Not sure how you can be an average bowler if you take 330 wickets.
Anderson the most overrated player in Test cricket?
Rubbish. We are English. We look at out team, and imagine different ways they could collapse to ignominious defeat.
My predicted top six Ashes run scorers
I think you’ll probably find that if Australia lose the Ashes its all a NH/IRB conspiracy against the traditional Wallabies running rugby……. sorry, wrong SZ article!
SPIRO: Clarke must make Waugh to win back Ashes
I was under the impression England asked for the tour to be delayed for 2 weeks, so they could send a full strength squad, but NZ and the IRB refused?
All Blacks hold off English onslaught
Amazing. Australia has been independent for 110 years, and everything is STILL the Poms fault?
Ireland set to crucify the Wallabies
‘Tell the groundsman to prepare a green, grassy pitch and go in with four seamers.’
I thought it was only the cheating English who prepared pitches to order?
Who comes in for Watson if he misses Brisbane?
As opposed to beating the worlds tenth ranked team, losing to NZ, and then deciding you are well placed for a Grand Slam tour?
SPIRO: Southern hemisphere rugby powers set to invade Europe
My prediction – Crowley will be taken out 40m behind the play some time in the first quarter and will take no further part in the game. Mitchell will run amok, and Hawthorn will win easily.
Grand final talking points and Norm Smith predictions
Personally I think trading n0.1 for Sandilands plus A.N.other would be a win for GWS and Freo
Giants chasing Buddy for profile or titles?
Never mind, beat argentina at the weekend and they’ll be the best team in the world again!
My name is Brett, and I think I’m a Wallabies masochist
Bingo!
I only wanted a mention of South Africa A to get a full house!
BTW which country recently changed citizenship laws to get a new leg spinner?
Don't sugar coat it: England won 3-0
I think CA has invented a time machine – this is pretty similar to England in the early 90s.
Khawaja, Hughes, Starc: the revolving door
And yet I can’t remember the UK ever changing their citizenship laws to help their cricket team.
Spiro, you have a serious problem with all things British. Seek help now.
SPIRO: Oh no, the Brits are the new Aussies of world sport!
Of course Walsh was confused – he couldn’t find an Englishman to penalise.
Reds and Waratahs play out a procession of poor rugby
I’m going to assume the title should be “the ten best in the southern hemisphere’?
