Pitcairn Islands Dial Up Internet Cable has melted.

You are like a fart in a lift, Dude. Ed is doing good for the Woodies and will achieve in due course. It is not as if Australian Rugby is overwhelmed with competent hookers, let alone the Shute Shield, which we all know is the pathway to the next level. Cotton, Horton, Abel, Tuala...

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. You saying that Wessels is worse than Whittaker? Proven record as a head coach, only failure was when he was made scapegoat by the NSW Rugby Mafiosa. Don't give up your day job just yet. Ed is busy helping the Woodies Shute Shield...

Why not swap? Rebels take Rob Penney, and Waratahs take Dave Wessels. Simple. Both coaches are currently in Oz (not sure if Penney has flown the coop yet).

Am I one of the "loose posters" you refer to? I simply stated that Rebels would not be disappointed with the performance of their Bench Hooker, and that he would be a big loss for the Woodies this year. Someone accuses me of being a family member and I clarified that I was just a simple...

We have a complete match thread dedicated to kicking the Tahs when they are down. After two very woeful performances they damn well deserve some decent arse kicking. Why are you not on that thread preaching your philosophy? Are you from the Penny family? Mr Penny also seems to think that...

I let facts do the talking. You can make your own judgement and comparisons. This is professional sport, not Subbies rugby where young blokes trying their heart out should be. Am I not allowed to quote David Porecki's stats, just because he is not a young fellow trying his heart out...

About as balanced and rational comprehensive as most of the fan boy posts promoting the excellence of their favourite GPS 1st XV player 5 years after they leave their protected school environment. Winners are grinners. Let the Brumbies folk have their time in the sun. After all, they are the...

Christchurch 2002 was also not a good time for the Tahs and Tahs faithful. The great news is that the drive home to some welcome sorry drowning full strength appropriately priced cold beer from next week at BankWest will be about 45 minutes faster than the usual experience at Moore Park.

Have you just infringed on the Intellectual Property of the NSW Waratah Supporter Club. That is what we have had for the last 20 or so years. 2014 being the exception that proves the rule. I sense an element of knowledge transfer from the Auckland Bluse experience.

Imagine being the fourth best any position in this rabble. Most of them appear to be starting. <sarcasm> To be fair though, from those not already contracted to the other 4 SRAU teams, who would you choose instead of the current squad? Very slim pickings indeed.

According to Stats on Rugby.com.au, Robbie Abel must be very close to breaking into the Match day 23, as must be Cotton. Their stats (from 80 minutes in the grandstand) are a cigarette paper thickness behind the current starter: Cotton and Abel each made 0 metres, 0 carries, 0 offloads, 0...

There has been more awareness of rugby in and around Sydney this year, on billboards, bus shelters, social media, newspapers, internet and TV so far this year than the last 10 years combined from Foxtel. I presume similar campaigns are running in other major centres. Shame on you Foxtel...

Edited Original post. Does that meet the bill?

Proud, long term Eastwood supporter who has seen Ed play since the Under 12's. Not "Mr Craig" but someone who just wants to see someone from the "wrong side" of Sydney Harbour, who went to a public school and played junior rugby with a club under the Eastwood umbrella get some recognition...
