    Reds v Brumbies - RD10 2013

    I see Paul Cully has come out on twitter saying that it's not fair to call the Brums play cynical, with Laurie Fisher quick to chime in as well. If only there were a legal way to defend against the rolling maul... I wonder how it will be handled if the Wallabies try to pull that stunt against...

    Reds 2013

    I was haunting ballymore on thursday morning and spotted Will Genia doing some 2 on 1 contact work. He didn't seem to be favouring the knee at all to my untrained eye and I was wincing every time he propped on it, but all good. As an aside I also overheard him explain his technique for...

    Scott Higginbotham - Liverpool kiss on McCaw

    I'm not a fan of the cheap stuff by any means. But the thing that I REALLY don't understand is why be half hearted about it? The downside is pretty clear, but where was the pay off?

    Quade telling it how it is

    Surely there must be some variation on Godwin's Law for threads that descend into the generational blame game? I mostly lurk around here and from what I've seen, this sort of intellectual laziness could be a sign that a thread has reached the end of its useful life.

    Qld Premier Rugby 2012

    No question that it looked pretty bad. The only thing I could say in their defence is that it happened very fast and I don't think there was any intent there. At the time I thought red was a rough call, but I admit that I am pretty ignorant on what the standards are. If tip tackles are...

    Great interview with Alan Jones

    You could be right on that - although some of the profiles I've read on him seem to paint him as a man who has a always had deep seated need for that sort of following. I honestly don't know - it could be a bit of both? The outcome is the same though!

    Great interview with Alan Jones

    As for my views on Jones - he's got runs on the board with coaching the Wallabies, so I have to respect that. However the ego, bombast and general disregard for facts of his public persona undermines how I view his commentary on anything to be honest. By all reports he's a very complex...

    Great interview with Alan Jones

    Sorry mate, was just shit stirring about his personal history, nothing to do with the interview. Low blow really!

    Great interview with Alan Jones

    You might be half right in that assessment ;-)

    Rugby TV Shows

    I'm a bit surprised at the positive reception Canno seems to get - he drives me up the wall. Marto and kearns do at times as well, but I guess I expect it from them. Canno makes so many basic errors in his commentary and it seems like he has never really thought through what he wants to say so...

    That is fantastic news - I'm glad my eyes weren't deceiving me either!

    Reds 2013

    I was walking my dog around Ballymore on Friday and I'm amost certain I saw Peter Hynes doing some 1 on 1 rehab work. Hard to believe but maybe there's a comeback in the works? I'd love to see it - you have to admire that sort of spirit.

    Wallabies versus Wales- SFS

    Shit - the GAGR calendar download failed me. It has the game kicking off at 7:30pm?! I missed all but the last 10. I demand a refund!

    Who's to Blame?

    As much as I was frustrated with our inability to get the job done last night, I don't think the game plan was the biggest problem. The real issue for me was the inaccuracy in our support play, we got isolated far too many times. This was a game to do the simple things really well and I can't...

    Reds 2013

    I stopped into Ballymore on Monday last week - he wasn't training with the main group or the rehab group. He was just running the far sidelines, straight line work only. What was the injury anyway?
