Nope, you shared a questionable opinion first time. That’s all.

Rugby News: RWC final TMO quits over 'torrent of abuse', Wallabies Grand Slam tour touted, Fiji lock facing jail

I’m wondering why FF?

'You can't sell a secret': Biggest issues facing Australian rugby - and why it's in better shape than meets the eye

That logic really is flawed. Eddie the lip has a better CV than Cheika and that worked out swimmingly. And Cheika has already ‘been there done that’. It didn’t end well and he certainly didn’t enhance reputations from the coaches box. Cheika is in the rear-view mirror and should stay there. He may well have matured and learnt a bit, especially to behave better, but his inner Cheika did pop out recently. He would be a retrograde step.
Flawed logic is one of the reasons we are in the place we are right now

Cheika set for contract extension as another Wallabies head coaching candidate slips by

I’m sure Hamish appreciates your devoted support.

“The QRU, now known as RA”. Classic. Lets see how things pan out first rather than being salty over nothing. Unless you felt RA was actually NSWRU and are feeling particularly aggrieved.

'Shame on the plodders': Hamish blasts RA 'boneheads' as Harvey Norman deal ends - but founder denies link to axing

Is that so LBJ? Wow….

Humility cuts both ways: Brett Clark and the QRU deserve the same scrutiny as Hamish McLennan

Very good Ben, as usual. Thoroughly enjoyed your observations and how you’ve put this together.

I knew Australia's bunch of 'no-hopers' couldn't win the World Cup, right up until I knew they would

That’s the thing, I don’t think the POMS do hate all that much. I’ve never read so much support and admiration – albeit grudging in some instances – (BBC Cricket) for an Aussie cricket captain in a very very long time. Well done Pat. You’re doing us proud

So it wasn’t wasted. Good. It was intentional

You looking for something in particular apart from the jolly old witty guy routine?

Exclusive: Rising Wallabies hardman set to leave Australian rugby in warning sign for RA

Exactly TWAS. I thought this would have been self evident rather than cause breathless hysteria

New chair says Aussie rugby must end 'sugar hit' approach, 'fears' for game's future if reform doesn't occur quickly

Perspective. You could say NSW want everyone to centralise entirely on their terms. Centralisation isn’t the issue, it’s trust and for good reason

States not RA the issue Australian rugby is facing as Wallabies great calls on reform measures to be backed

It’s not just Rugby though is it. It’s 7’s & more intense and more exhausting with nowhere to hide and a 1 minute break in between. I disagree that “most players” can be going just as hard at the end of 15 minutes as when they started with only a minute break. Hooper can.

Hoops commits to Olympic dream after Eddie snub - and he could face another massive star of the XVs game in Paris

Speed yes but also very much ticker. He’s like a diesel landcruiser. Not even close to 350,000k on the clock so age not an issue. Not always as fast as some of the other 4by’s out there but close enough and will still be hooking in when the others oil lights start to come on.

Go well Hoops.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. Ozymandic is a Saffa I’ve thought and now am also hoping. It’s one thing to endure childish & obnoxious posts but to accept him as an Aussie too?

Oh the humanity

Outrage? I thought you were trying really hard to be funny. If imagined zany humour wasn’t your intent, I can work on outrage I suppose

Interesting you think the Fijians are upstarts woodart

My response was to Allister

Or move RA to QLD and have it stacked with Brisso GPS heads and see how keen NSW are to hand over the keys

Understood. So you were watching the rugby but still somehow know that while doing so, he didn’t watch any of it.

'Always knew it would get really ugly': RA chief's strange admission as World Cup budget blow out revealed

Yeah, nearly choked on the ‘bizarre coincidence’ comment Gray. What’s bizarre is the unintended satire this all is and growing. I can see a Rob Sitch ‘Utopia’ style series down the track.
.
I agree with you on the entitlement comment but I think it’s equal with the parochialism and unadulterated loathing between NSW & Qld. A centralised model with Qld handing the keys to the kingdom to NSW, good luck with that.
.
I think some of his comments also indicate clearly that he does read the Roar. So accordingly, hi Hamish, f – off Hamish and when you get there, f- off again

'Always knew it would get really ugly': RA chief's strange admission as World Cup budget blow out revealed

Strange comment. So you spent all your time watching googy and never watched any of the rugby either.
