Cooper's passing was a sight to behold. Thank you rugby gods for this treat.

He's likely on more money now then he would have been back in Australia, especially considering endorsement deals. But when he went over he was only on a guaranteed 100k and 500k a year if he made the team, which is almost the bare minimum NFL contract. My understanding is he renegotiated his...

Not switching, just backing the ponies too now that the reds are done for this year. We've already played them twice.

But with a Brumbies core of Moore, Pocock and To'omua, all QLD rugby products, it's easy to jump on board

I'd argue that it has very much been a positive story, everyone knows taunts like this exist, yet nobody has yet stood up and called it out for what it is, unnacceptable. You can't have a go at Pocock without having a go at Moore, he stood next to him and echoed his sentiment. I think the fact...

bad example and choice of words. But my point was aimed at the political correctness gone mad, "slippery slope" argument that is popping up everywhere

Generally i like to pick my battles wisely, so i'm just going to leave "it"

I'm referring to the broader internet debate which is taking place in comment sections on here, smh, theroar, you name it. The notion that this is somehow equivalent to calling someone fat etc

I'm sure there's statistics out there, and i think they probably only tell half the story. There would be many more who would have been unsuccessful, and just as many who did it while they were internally struggling to come to terms with their sexuality, and hadn't let many (or any) people know...

Not knowing anything about the specifics, one would assume the police got hold of several mobile phones (surprisingly easy now thanks to qld gov't police changes), dug through them and found that KH had purchased cocaine for friends a few times over a period, or once for several friends. This is...

Are you actually suggesting Pocock should be punished for peaceful activism on environmental issues? It is this attitude that has characterised Australia's now world famous apathy in this area. I mean we'd all rather he become a mouthpiece for CSG, shack up with Alan Jones, and sell his soul...

Judging on test performances and not super rugby, it goes TK and then daylight. Surely I can't be the only person who wishes he never sees AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) bomb another try in the gold from 13. I think you could fill a decent highlight reel of him finding space down the left with a man outside, only to hold...

i think most test standard wallaby wingers would have dotted that one down. He does well in the inside channels, but his positional play is crap. As is Izzy's. When you have 2 of your back 3 not knowing naturally where to be and what to do, you have problems. And we all know the wallabies have...

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is not a test standard winger in my opinion, and right now he's a distant second at 13. Tomane has been playing well and is clearly the better winger, despite what this board would suggest

the fairest result would be a yellow for a professional foul, and then reverse the penalty for retaliation if it is bad, or 2 yellows if it's vicious. But this remains a serious problem. It's unfortunate but the ref is always going to go one way. I remember when i used to play B'ball, i wasn't...

No doubt an overreaction. Glorious nonetheless

^ makes me so happy. In my opinion anybody holding onto someone on the ground, or holding someone back at a ruck deserves a punch in the face, surely its the most effective way to make them let go. Refs should penalise the cynical play, not the other guy. I remember Simmons getting a yellow for...

no conspiracies, no real surprise. Just a player making huge contributions to his team week in week out, and his team mates noticing.

Not usually one for politically correct fairfax pieces, but this one hits the nail on the head for me. http://www.smh.com.au/comment/sexual-harassment-bullying-has-no-place-in-the-aru-20141013-115eve.html
