Jarvis also pointed out that c*nts are still running the world.

More supporters. More media coverage.

It seems like we can afford him. It would be wonderful to have him. But I suspect it's wishful thinking. And you have to feel a little bit of sympathy for the Force (not too much, Melbourne should have been the 4th team). Without Pocock or Sharpe, what do they have? Journeymen one and all.

I think that we would rarely if ever have the luxury of selecting from a fully fit and healthy squad so much of the either or discussion regarding the back five is pretty theoretical.

I know that Rebecca Wilson article is just designed to wind people up but it was particularly stupid. According to her logic there cannot be any test matches in Melbourne and we don't meet friends in pubs - what is this some noted Sydney specialty, what with all your wonderful pubs? And how...

Hypnotist: You are all very good players Team: We are all very good players. Hypnotist: You will beat the Rebels. Team: We will beat the Rebels. Hypnotist: You will give 110 percent. Team: That's impossible no one can give more than 100 percent. By definition that's the most any one can give.

No I'm suggesting that teams that have historic attachments to State (or even territory) colours should use them, particularly as their home jersey, and if they're playing away, they should simply flip their colours. Victoria has been for a very very long time navy blue with a touch of silver...

State flag? I'd like to see that!

Victoria has been navy blue since forever. meanwhile, the Brumbies, the ACT, what even is that? It's not even a State. Brumbies away strip should be mostly gold with a bit of blue and should have been worn for this game. Rebels at home get to wear their dark blue jersey.

O'Connor is reportedly definitely not available.

There are multiple reasons that we have a salary cap and I think they're pretty sound. Not knowing what the cap is, yeah well that's a problem. But it's aside the issue of having a properly constituted cap. If we didn't have a cap then we may end up with the situation of english premier league...

yeah I think he may have missed the byline there.

AKA the Melbourne Storm approach.

Well it comes down to defining 'specialist' doesn't it? To my non-expert mind, you could train and condition an elite 15s player in a few months to a full season into being a top 7s player, a 'specialist'. And then transition back after the Olympics. Conditioning Kurtley Beale may be an...

It seems to me that it would be a pretty huge decision for the ARU to make, whether to affect the quality of the 2016 Super competition (and probably wallabies tests as well) in order to win a gold medal at the Olympics. I think it's pretty clear that if the best wallabies are playing at the...

In the short history of the Rebels, none of its supporters have learnt to take anything for granted.

Does anyone know what (if any) selection process the ARU (and the other tri-Nations since we're on about it) will have for the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016? Will it be sevens specialists or will wallabies be called upon? I'm presuming the latter. Do we know whether the ARU thinks that this is a...

It's not 250%, it's 150%. If it was 3 weeks, it would be 50% more, if it was 4 weeks, it would be 100% more. but yes, it is definitely inconsistent.

ellabroz, you must be at Gippsland Grammar? In a few more years my boys will be going to St Pauls Warragul and I will be doing what I can to try and get sevens going. Hopefully you'll be having some success! In the meantime, it'll be footy :( not that I'm anti footy, I like the game. Just...

Well it's totaliser, so it's what the punters reckon. But punters are mugs...
