I don't mind that 4 years ago they told Pat they thought he would never make it.That's a judgement call they need to make on several people every year. With the best intentions, even good judges will get the odd one wrong.
What peeves me is their attitude, "we don't think you will ever make it, but you can still hang around and take up a spot in our academy."
Interesting that he thought he could improve more outside of their system, than within it.
..And he was right.
Blow the joint up and start again.

the academy is already gone.
im guessing he was never told he couldnt make it, sounds like he is just bullshitting to try to shift attention away from his lack of ball skills.

So pretty much the same as when Carter came out and said that Eddie Jones told him he wouldn't make it for being too slow with no balls skills then?

completely different, Carter proved Jones wrong, whilst McCabe had to go to the brumbies to get a game, when McCabe makes it at a big time team, then we can compare.

McCabe has 10+ Wallaby caps and is the incument inside centre. Carter has 0 Wallaby caps, on the bench at the Tahs and is being released from his club and being forced to look into playing a different sport to stay on the field. You're right, completely different.

were talking about McCabe being told he wasnt up to super standard.
Carter has played finals footy, McCabe has not.
really different.

He's really hooking into the lesser provinces this morning.

You guys are equal with the Rebels in wins this year, with a near all Wallaby roster, and still haven't been able to ever win a Super title despite having the largest player base and the premier club rugby competition at your disposal. One day the lesser provinces might catch up to you guys, if we're lucky. Take it easy on us please.
 

I like to watch

Finals Footy?
what about the World Cup, ever heard of that?
TC was as close to getting a game there as me.
Where Pat actually started and sang the anthem and evrythink.

I wish it was as easy to get a bite when I go fishing.

Come on Bruce, I mentioned Carter and you were here responding within a nanosecond. All depends on what bait you're using.

The bite I was referring to was in relation to my mention of "the lesser provinces". No need for me to come to Tom Carter's defence. waratah jesus is all over that.

as far as im concerned, anyone not on the Tom Carter bandwagon is already to far behind the intellegence gainline to compete in an internet debate.
 

It is what it is

John Solomon (38)
Just wondering if anyone has asked Coach Foley in what areas he and his coaching staff have improved the Waratahs in 2012?

Super Rugby Ranking?
Attack?
Defence?
Scrum?
Line out?
Restarts?
Speed?
Strength?
Conditioning?
Skills in passing/catching?
Kicking?
Culture/Morale?
Style of play?
Player development?
Recruitment & Retention?
Other?

What we'd do to have Burgess and Mowen in light blue this year. And Beale.

Come to the point, who were the fuckwits who let them go?

Keeping the same Board, CEO, management team and Head Coach in place for yet another season gives me the opportunity to post yet again the story of the Italian opera singer:

A tenor was making his debut at La Scala. After he sang an aria the audience rose as one and roared: "Ancora! Ancora!" So he sang it again. Once more the audience demanded an encore, so he sang yet again. After the fourth time he pleaded: "Per favore non ancora."

A gruff Italian voice rang out from the balcony: "Bastardo, continui a cantare e finisci quando cantare correttamente." (You bastard, you keep singing until you get it right.)

It looks as if those who are responsible for the mess our team is in are determined to keep singing until they get it right. I should live so long.
