    EOYT 2014

    I thought of asking Quentin Tarantino to do one of his last movies (has flagged retirement) based on the current state of Australian Rugby ... but after doing "Reservoir Dogs" he probably wouldn't want to go over old ground .

    Gail Kelly ponders ... the International Monetary Fund (or something similar) or Australian Rugby ?... the choice is clear ! At this point in her retirement (which has not kicked in yet) she may want something more relaxed like being a Middle Peace Negotiator .... All jokes aside , she would...

    EOYT 2014

    If the boys were swanning around Paris in their FCUK tee shirts , At least Bill can handle that situation ... And on Dublin I think its a non-issue as I think Guinness is classified as a food group not unlike a slab and a packet of savoury shapes keeps uni students on mission in Australia.

    France v Australia

    Bairdy ..Yes , I thought Jones didn't disgrace himself in the 20 minutes of a tight dour test which was in the balance .... I thought Sean was tentative for the first 20 or so vs Wales ..its called the pace an intensity of Test Rugby which is bad luck if you only get 20 minutes .... If Jones...

    France v Australia

    AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has been a mainstay no doubt , has a go and seems to be a guy you want to have in the trenches with you on and off the field . And besides Australia loves Gordon Bray saying "Adam Ashley-Cooper" ... better than "the footballing artist formerly known as Adam Ashley-Cooper" . The number of...

    France v Australia

    Cheika seems to know how to keep the "fires burning" in the squad by throwing the gauntlet out to those outside the XV to fight for their positions on the bench . I don't think that he can be much fairer than that and helps instil pride in the Wallabies jersey that may have been missing in...

    France v Australia

    Hardly ... he's just won 1st prize at the Paris Fashion Week awards Wallaby Division just edging out Laurie Fisher & Chris Handy .... Sartorial Elegance is a state of mind ie. If you think you've got it flaunt it !

    Wales v Australia

    Brown Hornet, Interesting the ideal world of Fardy , Hooper & Jones ... given Fardy not an option at this point I think the Hooper/Jones not so silly I think they played their schoolboy rugger together & U20 World Cup and should know each others game pretty much .

    Why is Marto employed as a commentator?

    Sean Maloney , Rugby's Daryl Eastlake ?

    Why is Marto employed as a commentator?

    It's simple , sack them all and replace them with Billy Birmingham ! The 12th man does Rugby ....mmm, just think Ray Warren calling a Bledisloe like a Melbourne Cup , Pulver talking up a test vs the Taliban and shirtfronting the IRB , Hawker as white noise , Alan Jones presenting the John Eales...

    Official Sean McMahon Bandwagon Thread

    After seeing Jones grab Skelton one on one (and not fall off - let face it 6 cops with tasers could do it as well ) I'd say he's as ready as he'll ever be , again from what I've seen Jones takes a man down one on one in defence (with regular monotony) and needs two or more to take him down in...

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    The Glimmer Twins penned two songs that could describe the ARU's quest for a sustainable media package which could enable a meaningful FTA component to the masses , the songs are "You can't always get what you want" and "I can't get no satisfaction" . The ARU need to take a step back and...

    Huge Jarse , Don't show the rating table to our spouses ... I don't think its worth that sort of pressure and ridicule .

    Official Sean McMahon Bandwagon Thread

    The NRC has been a lot looser (where Sean excelled) as was the Baa Baa's match - one has to expect a steep learning curve for Sean concerning the pace and intensity of Test Match rugby .... Todays effort I'd rate a 5/10 ,it was good to see him improve after a tentative start and showed glimpses...

    Wales v Australia

    Yes , Jones will get his chance ..seems to be a backbone of any pack he is in , saw him rotated during the NRC games between 4,5,6 & 8 switching mid game where necessary to good effect , does the hard yards in attack and defence and at 23 still in an upward trajectory.

    Wales v Australia

    Yes , Phipps has a never say die attitude ,love watching his endeavour ..think this will bring the best out of Genia ....Cheika should love this scenario playing out .

    The League Media

    The questions you have to ask yourself is "where is the money?" And, where are the real affiliations between print/media groups, their sponsors and the end game = the consumer/fans ? It appears the game being played by various media interests (somewho have long term $500 mill plus broadcasting...
