Fair enough, I was going off the version of the article on the SMH website (which is what LG posted).

Nice retort Bruce, though if it's the same Sun-Herald report that lists Carter as a returning Wallaby I'm not sure I'd be trusting it as gospel truth tbh. In fact, given there's no author listed on the article, there's no AAP/Reuters/Wires etc at the end of it I'd be willing to bet the report is...

It's the Fiji Warriors isn't it, development/'A' team same as the Tah's played last year in Newy.

Far from it, the Palu/Elsom/Smith combo is the best we have, it's just unfortunate that generally they aren't that good on the Int'l stage. Obviously Smith's a world class player when he sticks to his job, but while the other 2 have occasional flashes of brilliance they simply don't consistently...

Exactly, that backrow has it all - a number 8 who can knock the ball on 10 times for every big hit or run he makes, a 6 who can fall off tackles and get driven back in contact 10 times for every opposition lineout he nabs or break he makes at outside centre and (at least in the case of Smith) a...

Actually the photo doesn't conclusively show Palu's left hand in contact with anything. A shot from above or side on would be a different matter, but from the angle in that image there's no way to know if there's been any contact. Given that Kearney's nose wasn't mashed across his face, he got...

Except it was a ruck wasn't it? :nta: And Mealamu shoved Cannon's head first (not that it was worthy of retaliation, just saying that he wasn't bound to his props)

Or sitting on the ground grimacing and holding his shoulder

It's one of the reader submitted 'opinion pieces' on the Roar and while you get some decent ones, a lot of them are drivel like this. It's the sort of thing you'd expect to read from Chiselhead on here, or Chief Rugby Correspondent Jabba the Hut on Rugbyheaven.

Hmm, I know Hickey's got to talk up the signing, but a single test, 4 years ago, off the bench against a minnow sounds very much like a giveaway to me!

Don't think it means too much, it's just Dempsey trying to promote himself and his 'union'. Its got about as much relevance to the ARU/any proceedings brought by Lote as me appointing a QC (Quade Cooper) to investigate his sacking.

Fixed :)

Well gee, I got it wrong, you really are important then aren't you ::) ;) So your solution to an imperfect situation is to breakout the horsehair wigs and have a courtroom debate on whether or not a suspension should be thrown out because the citing commissioner didn't dot an i, or used the...

And by the same token, if Bakkies elbowed Waugh in the head surely you don't expect Waugh to back off and take it do you? Yeah I know Bakkies is a hardman and he'd smash Waugh the little pansy blah blah blah blah. It was mentioned on a similar thread on that other site that footage was shown...

Was that what he was actually banned for, or is it a case of the cockmunchers at Fox not having any footage of it and deciding this shove must've been it? I seem to recall during the game that when the touchie was giving Kaplan a report he mentioned something like 'Bulls No 4 used an elbow on...

Yeah but Barnes doesn't do the 1 percenters, you know - mouth off, give guys a shove here and there, stand around with a tough guy grimace on his face. All the really important things! ;)

Intriguing that Barnes is Flatley II due to an over reliance on kicking and a lack of passing or linebreaking ability yet Carter, who's sole attacking ability is tuck the ball under the arm run up to (not through) the defensive line and get tackled, offers more ? :nta:

JON didn't say the CC/NPC wasn't professional rugby did he? I thought he said that SANZAR couldn't support 2 levels of professional rugby ie Super rugby and the professional domestic comps in SA/NZ?
