i have suggested elsewhere that the ARU must - and i mean must as the imperative - provide a top-up for Thor to join Team Tonga which is the only place in Australia which could manage and nurture him to greatness.

thanks. in which paper was that? can you post the full article or a link? i have said for many moons now that the loss of Douglas will be massive. just as the bloke starts to mature and assemble the experience and knowledge to be a serious world class lock, he's off. anyone who doesn't realize...

let's not be arrogant. leave that to the other 15 camps in the Soup. however, i do expect improvement along the lines you suggest and in terms of all round combination and cohesion. let's not start a silly "find three locks" discussion. let's just hope - and i believe we can believe - that...

nor is he good enough. he's older, slower and less sound than i.

are you confident that he would survive the landing in condition to play?

nah, only players entitled to the honorific Mr are Mr Smith (G) and Mr Palu (c). "Mr C'Connor": "C" for "cnut"? who is the weapon bloke? wtf are "Banjo traditions"?

TWAS and Scrubber: yes indeed. i often wonder if there has ever been serious analysis of the influence of coaches on teams' performances. the results would be interesting. without such analysis, i guess we have to from our opinions from results and not much other fact and from our own...

very high class indeed. worthy of Reds' best boasting at their times of worst playing. and i can remember times when the Reds were a-w-f-u-l :) who is this weapon bloke or blokette of whom you write? "Whizz Kid" - who is that?

:) the opposition will find it very hard to beat the Tahs next year. third year in to The Great Cheiks' reign, they will be considerably improved over this year as coordination and team work develop. they have a personnel problem with Douglas going - a truly huge loss - and must find...

never was a horse that couldn't be rode never was a man who couldn't be throwed

there is a quiet rumour that the ARU is offering Tongan Thor a top-up, provided that he signs with the Waratahs.

yes, Mate. i agree with all of that re The Great Cheiks. i agree also with your opinion of Nathan Grey ... BUT ... i have a big worry there. it is that Grey might go to Argentina with The Great Cheiks as a double act. that would do his long-term coaching aspirations a wealth of good. looking on...

indeed. i have more experience of living abroad than most Australians - almost my entire adult life. i partially returned to Australia when my kids reached the end of primary school. they have always maintained that spending their first 10-11 years abroad was a marvellous experience for which...

some mates and i were discussing this very matter in the bar last night, without having seen Growden's piece. we were concerned by developments in Argentine rugby, in terms of their increasing the attraction to The Great Cheiks of becoming the national coach. the better the Argentinians play...

how did "they" find and present the evidence?

for what?

Brock lives!

that's what we suspected. will be interesting to see what happens next week. we may have also to record choice of hotels for the Wallabies as an indicator of the evolution of the new culture.

Mate, right on the button. let me reiterate. right on the fcukking b-u-t-t-o-n.
