Goosen was literally 10m off side. If you’re not part of the lineout, you can’t advance until the ball is past the 15m line (when the lineout is over) and he’s probably where the halfback should be. Absolutely appaling refereeing.

Not directed at you Highlander, more at a few others in this thread. But if you want to exclude foreigners (those not born in Aus), you're kind of excluding 28.2% of the Australian Population.

Perhaps Quade was on to something...

He was the Brumbies worst player on the weekend. I was left scratching my head saying "WTF, is he really the best the Brumbies have to offer?" It's no wonder Christian's being rushed back for the semi-final. Hawera was THAT bad that CCL is going to play his first XV game back after 2 years...

My God, you're right. We're in this problem because of the RULES. It's all the fault of the law book.

The problem is, the Tahs never deserved half a team of Wallabies in the first place. Robertson, Hanigan, Mumm, Horne, Naiyaravoro, Dempsey are all barely Shield standard...

Oh sweet summer child, with your glass half full. I admire your optimism. In reality, this disease has been spreading since a select group of players from one franchise white anted our best coach in a decade. A whole lotta luck and the worst England in living memory, Warrenball Wales &...

This is the ARU we're talking about... Every step they've made in the last 6 months has been an unmitigated disaster

Beale just doesn't offer the Point of Difference that Hunt does in defense. In attack, they're pretty much neck&neck. Hunt can bust tackles and set up outside support, whereas Beale evades tackles to set up his outside support. As I said, safe to say Beale will be a starting fixture come RC...

Well those English fans haven't seen him defend in the front line. I would never, ever put Beale at 12.

Are we intentionally excluding Beale from conversation? There's no doubt in my mind that once Beale is fit, DHP or Hunt get punted. Rightly or wrongly, it'll probably be Hunt due to Chieka's refusal to play Izzy in more natural positions.

Straight up, the Nabuli pick is bloody daft. I've watched every Reds game this year and last, so I do feel a little qualified. The kids got skills and can finish a try, but he's simply a dumb rugby player. I'm sorry, but it's true. He's the type of player that will mis-time his chase off a...

In such events I'd imagine the ABC would pick up the slack if Ten couldn't. I can't see any LNP government being seen as actively contributing to the demise of the sport of the silver tail.

When the opposition diffuses bombs Folau will defuse them all. :D I reckon he can do that regardless of jersey number.

I also got the feeling that Kerevi had moved himself to the top of the pecking order; the way that Chieka talked about him and his "leadership qualities", I expect him to start.

Judging by Chieka's comments regarding Folau & Hunt on Kick&Chase last night, Folau will be 15 and Hunt will be 23. I'll be the first to say that Chieka's reasoning behind why Folau must be 15 was pretty perplexing, he seems to be a little ignorant of the fact that the back 3 work as a unit...

Well Slim, there's two ways to spin a knob. Clockwise, and anti-clockwise. Now, had Pandaram not been a "goodie-two-shoes-so-far-up-his-exclusive-sources-ass-he-can't-see-the-gross-incompetence-right-infront-of-him", he might be worthy of a little more respect and benefit of the doubt...

You'd train out of Sunnybank and play games between Ballymore & the Gold Coast. After the teams established and connected with their catchment area, by 2020 a 2nd Brisbane NRL licence will be on the cards. They could find themselves a home at a boutique venue in Springfield. I don't think the...

I'd go the Big Bash model and introduce two teams in the two biggest markets for the sake of derbies. Say Western Sydney and QLD Souf. It was only a year ago that a bunch of numpties around Australia (and here) wanted the Force based out of Western Sydney. All because the Waratah's have, and...

Hell, I was skeptical at the hiring of Hawkers half-pairing from his Shore days, but I was willing to give him a chance in the hope that with his history as a marketing executive he'd lead us to brighter days. Sadly there's been a void of anything resembling leadership over the past two...
