Really glad LG had the note pad out yesterday, i got most of the name down, but didn't recognise some! After watching the garbage last night, i'm glad i got my local fix of NSW rugby yesterday. The U20's looked very slick after weathering an early storm. You would have to think with the...

Would love to try and claim that it was intentional, but alas.......

That is a cracking idea!

Can't they play the "bringing the game into disrepute" card. I thought that was the ace up the sleeve for all sporting codes?

Had the QRU and/or ARU known about this before he was signed (and i imagine negotiations were well under way at this point), would they have continued.......i doubt it. In the scheme of things, it just isn't a good look for the ARU or QRU IMO.

Emu, seems im not the only one who thinks the punishment is garbage! http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby/queensland-rugby-hard-man-stan-pilecki-says-reds-left-with-egg-on-their-face-after-karmichael-hunt-saga/story-fndpt9s1-1227250221497

The Reds have already said a ban of 6 weeks and a $30k fine, so he will play for them again. Sets a pretty ugly precedent for the next idiot who dabbles in coke! provided of course they don't test positive with Asada

I work on my figure!! But seriously, that is a fairly weak reaction from the QRU in my personal view. Does the ARU get an input on the fine/punishment?

BY his own admission, if he didn't on sell it which constitutes supply, then he consumed it, or is his argument that it is at home as a decoration. He has admitted to having it and the conclusion drawn is that he used it. What is the difference to being tested positive or admitting to using it...

That punishment is a joke. Wendell Sailor copped a 2 year ban for cocaine, and by Karmichael's own admissions he purchased quite a quantity of the drug and did one of two things - on sold it (supply) or consumed it (use/possession). The discrepancy is a joke! QRU that is a piss poor response.

LG, do you have details of trials for the colts this weekend in NSW or QLD. Is anyone likely heading along that can do a quick match review/report and possibly jot down some inclusions/omissions?

Shtinatina, is an 8 ball your solution to watching South African rugby? Surely things would have to get a bit more interesting with some artificial adjustments!

I think with the guilty plea and the sudden freeing of funds, there is a concerted push by the powers to start giving Folau every reason to stay put in Sydney and with the ARU. They would (and should) throw everything to keep him in the game. Am starting to get fired up for this one, am really...

I have a hungy on the Reds giving him the boot before 5pm today. Guilty plea, see ya later sunshine!

Thanks ILTW & HJ, much appreciated. Just on a very quick glance, biggest abuse of the points system would have to seem that putting players in Colts 2, or using them in some manner in colts 2, then running them on as reserves in colts 1 is the way around it.

Taquele looks to be pretty quickly on the outer. Haven't seen Betham do anything outstanding in his last few outings. Misses everything. Agree re: Lousi getting the chop

One would have to imagine its lights out for K's rugby union career in Australia.

Quick question for the masses, in light of some discussions on the 2015 IRB junior WC thread, can someone give me a simple run down of the points system for the colts program this year, and how it all works itself out. EG, how does having 5 aus school boys in your team affect what other players...

This is outstanding news. Well done to the ARU on whatever part they played in this. Interesting noting that they have an option to potentially reduce the number of teams................

Without wanting to defend Randwick or appear that way, credit has to be paid to them for their approach to tackling the university model. Due to the way Uni have operated and changed the landscape, the current options are to play at their level or conceded defeat. Unless there is some sort of...
