Always liked Rathbone's style: fast, hard as nails, good rugby brain, and loyal to the Brums. re: Crawford move to the Tahs (aknowledging that probably Crawford also wants to go back to his home state) - IMHO, White should have given more playing time to Crawford, particularly towards the end...

I think Rathbone would be the first to pull the plug if he knew he's not up to standards.

Include Scott Sio in that list.

Did not know humor was banned from this forum.

A reason could be that he wanted to wait for the end of the season for his decision not to have a negative impact on the remainder of the Force's season

Robinson's words clearly indicate that Robinson wants to influence decisions possibly including the recruitment of the next coach. How Robinson and/or the Tahs want to go about recruiting the next coach is a matter for them, and not really a worry for any other franchise, so good luck to...

I guess the fact that he's won the Rugby World Cup is of a lesser value than beating a S15 top six side. Lots of other people should pull their heads in before he does.

I would steer away from any suggestions for the Tahs by Horan. In terms of credibility even Peter de Villiers looks like Mother Teresa compared to him.

Truly hope so - always been a big fan

Did not realise he was kicking that well.

Lately it has been hard to post without criticising the Force - with reason, unfortunately. Would be nice to post on something positive - hopefully soon.

Considering the game strategy in 2012, what would really add value to the team is a high percentage goalkicker. A good kicker is worth at leat 10 points per game. Not easy to find though.

I agree that the overseas option could be attractive for Colby, and in a few years time there could be more S15 opportunities for him. This said, he needs to fully realise his potential for that to happen.

He would be closed at the Reds and probably the Tahs. I guess he could leave the Brumbies to try to push for higher honors with the two remaining teams?

Don't understand why some people keep seeing Colby Fainga'a moving on because another fetcher is in the squad. The Reds have at least two fetchers in their ranks, but nobody says "Oh gosh, Robinson should move on........" He's contracted anyway, and working with Pocock will do wonders for him.

It was in an article by Growden a couple of days back. Admittedly, not the most accurate source.

Although the Brums went with a foreign coach last year and never looked back, I would think the Force need to get someone Australian as a coach, with an in-depth knowledge of the rugby talent pool particularly in the eastern states. Then let the coach pick youngsters with talent and fire in the...

What a coup for the Brums, and Pocock will be the perfect influence for Colby as well. And it looks like Rathbone might do a Farhnam as well. Always rated Rathbone highly, I hope he makes it back to the player he was - another brilliant piece of work by White.

Never said he was. To say that the board was responsible for not renewing his contracts trivialises the reality that player power precipitated the demise of Nucifora. And player power ensured that the Brumbies recruited average Head Coaches (noting that Fisher is a very good fwd coach) and...

Matter of opinion.
