I suppose the positive thing is it seems a bit of a battle to fill up the spots , may be interesting to see a league list (they tend to prefer group events) and possibly cricket which would veer more towards betting and also AFL . The takeaway for many is being a dickhead is not a crime ...more...

I think the Samo age issue will be cleared up when the Rebels send him to the Melbourne Uni Archaeology Dept for carbon dating tests. Hope he goes well in 2015 .... and glad its not a comeback , just a continuation of what has been a fine career .

Forget the birth certificate (its on Fiji time) , he's only as old as the player he's pummelling , the Kelly Slater of Rugby ?

Mogg needs to get his mojo back , didn't realise he was carrying a shoulder which explains a lot , when on song few better on the fly and love his kicking distance .

Based on that Southern Cross Media looks like it could now be rated a Sell ....but with Jamie Dunn now on board at MMM Bris Vegas Marto could sit on Jamie's knee and reprise the roll of "Agro" .

Yeah , but with Hooper now the benchmark ....

I think that (the Rebels trio absence) was the great unsaid of the NRC Comp ....But having said that the other teams were shaping up well towards the end and well done to Brisbane City .... the excitement of the players to win further validated the competition for me .

Maybe the Reds could go retro with the GloWeave "Body Shirt" from the 60's , if you believed the ads .. the shirt coupled with flares and a liberal dousing of Brut 33 was said to prove irresistible to the ladies .

Will Skelton would be appreciated in Grenoble , well it is the birthplace of the late and great "Andre the Giant"

But unlike your garden variety investment banker Jones actually ran companies , has passion and has the ability to cut through the bullshit ... Mr Pulver meet Mr Jones ....

Cipriani did it in reverse ... and JOC (James O'Connor) is the one to watch for 2015 .

Rugby Union has more vested interests than the Middle East peace negotiations , the defunct Adelaide Steamship corporate structure in the 80's looked more workable .

Add Pyle as well ...

In the end I think it is an individual decision whether to stay in Australia or go overseas - the reasons are not clear cut with factors coming into play such as Money , Culture , Wanting to improve their game via offshore experience, Career-Education -Life experience , Partners-Children ...

Yes Chris , I thought of one player, but the risk seemed too great given the spotlight on holidays to Byron , potential DUI's , 4am sojourns at Hungry Jacks , Social Media Gaffs , lack of form , injury , political activism , Broken Glass Doors and walls . Given all of the above I thought it...

I went to the Rams /Rising game at Pirtek ... Great ground , good atmosphere from around 1500 crowd , enjoyed watching the women go around in the opener ...Don't follow Rams but well done , keep it up .. there seems to be a future in the NRC if the upper echelons of the game can lift their...

How's this for a concept in the lead up to the RWC ? Put all the Wallabies on a pitch , then grouped behind them say each players coaches , key support people (could include parents , mentors , physios Referees, touchies etc) from the U8's through to club , rep , schoolboys , subbies , Shute...

Thanks Brendan , yes the top down to grass roots should be a given , they have had 15 years or so in the professional era to properly engage .... I'm just making the point that there are plenty of other sports doing it far better overseas than our guys have and I fear they are not looking at the...

Have any ARU board members or key executives of the ARU and or State Unions / Super Franchises conducted any study trips to visit either successful Rugby operations offshore and or visit any other Iconic sporting codes or successful franchises within those codes internationally ? Meeting with...

Agreed , Jones has a similar work ethic to Fardy and I think Hooper & Jones know each others game pretty much having played all their Schoolboy and Australian U20's together and facing up against each other in junior reps as well as Super15 ...maybe a good combo of the three in the wings...
