Mate no dickheads it is a general statement that refers to a team ethos. There will be different personalities in every team, some who don't get on, some who no-one wants to have a beer with after a game. I also couldn't care less if hooper was a "genuinely shit bloke" as it has not resulted in...

Top 33 in australia - maybe. Top two in his position - no. Therein lies the problem. What more do I want? A no dickheads policy and a clear signal that there is a selection consequence for bad behaviour, even if theres not a contractual one.

And the starters will probably be Speight, Folau, and JOC (James O'Connor). AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) offers more utility on the bench, especially in a 6/2 split. Which is why I don't understand the need to rush Beale over under current circumstances, and without the need for injury cover.

Rubbish. If there's clear cause and effect, then there is also responsibility. If someone commits suicide due to bullying do you also absolve the perpetrator of guilt? Because the law doesn't.

Really? 12 - To'omua/ lilo 10 Foley/Cooper 15 Folau/ two dads. This is probably the most contentious but I'd rather have 2dads under the high ball and speight on the wing if Izzy was injured. I was keen to see Beale get a start when he looked good off the bench against the french, but rapidly...

In which case schatz may well have not got on the plane..

Do you really think his decision will influence the results? Not only is it ethically questionable, but based on TRC form (unless theres an injury we don't know about) Beales not even the 2nd best 12,15, or 10 in the side. So why risk a backlash for no reason??

Not sure I follow the ARU hate on this one. They wanted Beale gone, appointed an independent enquiry to ensure transparency, got criticised when Beales legal team asked for more time to prepare a defence, then got blindsided when the finding went the opposite to the way they expected. They...

Careful - you're not stating, as a mod and representative of G&GR that man love is shameful or immoral? Cos in today's PC society you should preface that with - "not that there would be anything wrong with it if we did engage in man love" Lest you offend someone. But I digress..

He died in 1977 allegedly coked to the eyeballs. Whats that got to do with the next wallabies coach??

Shit maybe thats what they just found underwater off the coast of Sweden! The ARU trying to get as f@#cking far away as possible!!

Nah they'll just undermine him with media leaks until he walks. Cheaper that way.

Do we really need to state the obvious? Are you suggesting anyone really thought (or that it was even implied) he'd sat down and had a personal chat with Cheika? To me it just came across as someone who's overly sure of himself.

You didn't know williams childhood nickname was bob. Geez I thought you were more knowledgeable than that;)

Two years ago many were saying the wallabies didn't have a single player who would make a world 15. Now we have 1. A front row which is competitive with the best scrums in the world, and arguably better around the field. Not out of place in a world cup winning 15. 2. Two number 7's who are world...

Like i said in the other thread - Richard graham is the obvious solution 1. It solves a large part of the 2014 problem at the reds 2. It gives somewhere for link to ply his trade, and with the 2015 playing roster he can deliver an almighty f@#k you to the ARU by leading the reds to the 2015...

I'm not disagreeing their has been some unfair speculation about player integrity. On the other hand some have also come out and tried to claim that their was good leadership on display. The problem is, silence is damning and where theres smoke there's fire. People have drawn some fairly...

What they have said behind closed doors should remain there. The content of the whatsapp message has not been disputed, is now in the public forum, and is widely agreed to be grossly inappropriate. The wallabies need to protect the image of the game and publicly reject that sort of message. Its...

As the most capped wallaby and the captain, the pair should have responded better to the incident. Their failure to condemn the inappropriate nature of the whatsapp message from the very beginning, regardless of their personal friendships or state allegiances is a damning indictment on their...
