Aussie rugby diehard

Tough choice here. Noah 100% kick success = win. Quade better playmaking but we lose if it’s tight due to missed kicks. Not sure of their all time kick % but pretty sure Noah is well ahead
ANALYSIS: Kellaway, Kerevi, Koroibete and Cadeyrn - four big ticks in Wallabies' triumph
I’m a bit young to have seen him play. But, I played tennis with him one afternoon in Sarina, Nth Qld, at the house of my grand parents’ friends, when I was about 13. He was way too agile for his size.
I now work at the Royal Brisbane Hospital. I bumped into him one day, introduced myself….he seemingly remembered the afternoon and was great chat. And still a man mountain !!
Mark Loane: A man of two diverse worlds
People are still confusing the issue. Knock forwards/backwards/down/sideways is irrelevant…..it is a deliberate knock down, ie interference with opposition attack. Penalty every day of the week. Yellow if during deep attack/in the 22
Wallabies warned as Rennie apologises for ref rant
Again …. I must have been missing something….knocked forwards or backwards is completely irrelevant. It was a deliberate knock down of a pass = penalty, + yellow card if try scoring opportunity. How was this not raised by Slipper ?!? He should’ve been in his ear immediately
The Wrap: Three epic Test matches all swing to the north
Agreed. I must have been missing something….knocked forwards or backwards is completely irrelevant. It was a deliberate knock down of a pass = penalty, + yellow card if try scoring opportunity. How was this not raised by Slipper ?!? He should’ve been in his ear immediately

Poor ruck clearance speed, unconverted line breaks and poor discipline all suggest a lack of fitness, Hooper excluded. Good decision making fails with fatigue. Our work off the ball has got to improve
'No answers': Only questions and confusion left lingering from Wallabies' loss to England
This comment is a great summary. Wallabies poor decisions made all blacks look good
MATCH REPORT: Rennie's Wallabies sent out to go big or die trying - it was the latter
You’ve gotta love the Einstein definition of Insanity……. Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result…….
Cheika has shown time and again that he can’t learn from mistakes. He invariably has no B game plan.
He is the complete opposite of the calm analysis under duress that a top level coach should practice……Hansen, McKenzie, Jones even.
He doesn’t select players based on merit, ie performing their 3 – 4 core roles to a consistently high standard.
He doesn’t run a meritocracy. How can the players have faith that their hard efforts to improve and progress into/earn a Wallabies gig will be justly rewarded. Answer: they won’t be and therefore the cumulative performance ceiling for the Wallabies candidates drops.
He must go. The search for an international level replacement coach begins after this action. Refraining from offloading Cheika because there is a perceived lack of Aussie alternatives is actually deeply flawed. Go through an appropriate process and you will find someone up to the challenge. There is plenty of time left for a new coach to improve this team, purely through deeply needed and simple cultural improvements, prior to RWC 2019. We will not go anywhere near winning it with the current Cheika approach.
Finally, if Phil Kearns gets the ARU CEO gig, things will go from bad to worse. WTF am I missing?
I would dearly love Cheika to prove me wrong……
Cheika's chaotic culture in crisis
I’m from Qld. The wallabies and rugby in this country belong to all of us. Not the Sydney/NSW centric ARU. I reckon each rugby playing state and territory should have 1 board member and one vote.
