I hate to defend the tahs, but wasn't this the result of them anticipating the covid hit to be much worse than in actually was? They cut wages and programs expecting it to be 1929 bad. So now, they can recruit up to be competitive again, as well as throwing some money at development. Agreed it's not...

I used to go for a big bike ride on Saturdays and end up at Drummoyne watching all the bouncers prop :lol: To be honest, these days some of the top div 1 subbies teams are probably better than the bottom Shute shield teams. Randwick are scheduled to play Parramatta today. Parramatta can only field ...

I know a few Pro Triathletes as the pool of athletes is fairly small and I would be very surprised if those specific individuals were on anything. I'm not saying in any way that triathlon is clean but there is very little money or exposure in the sport to make it worth the risk. My suspicion would ...

Bro. You think Triathlon athletes are not on shit? I suspect they'd be about as clean as the average Tour de France cyclist.

So i think two things can be true at the same time 1. The majority of Olympians are PED free; and 2. Some sports have close to 100% at the peak level. Why can both be true? There's no intrinsic reason that both can't be true. They're just not. If you look at the breakdown, the sus sports are a smal...

Yeah, Stan have done well. As you say, maybe they’ll extend it next year? But there’s still some rugby on. Shute Shield has several rounds left. Subbies on Cluch as well Still a bit going on for the rugby lover. What’s this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_Suburban_Rugby_Union https:/...

If its Twiggys money and not RAs money then no big deal. They also signed Matale from the Crusaders. First I've heard of that. Smart signing if true. Mataele is quality, but stuck behind Bridge, Reece, and Fainga'anuku for a starting spot. Shame to see him go, but don't blame him chasing a regular ...

Zakar

He was dropped to reserve grade last week and last year he only scored 4 tries in 20 games as winger. He is definitely in the twilight of his career and will likely not be wanted by any NRL teams. Sounds like he'd be cheap, and it sounds like the WF want to use him to help build engagement with ind...

Why would the saffas be in the European cup? Same reason the Ozzies are in Eurovision. Its a once a year singing competition that requires very little ongoing travel, is not affiliated with any peak sporting bodies and is generally held to be a kitch comedy event as opposed to a serious test of sin...

Forgot to mention -

Supernova in the East VI was released by Dan Carlin last week. Runs nearly 6 hours.

A great podcast series. He really finds the grimmest moments of human history.

Wouldn't be like Fox to try and sink the boot in to RA

I would to have liked to see him tried at 6 TBF, but he really looked average in the centres. I wouldn't be suprised if he was horribly mismanaged by the Tahs.

Some amount of shite being spouted in this thread - fair play Absolutely. I’ve collated them here: https://forum.planetrugby.com/search.php?author_id=648795&sr=posts Jesus, that's like walking into the committeds padded cell and seeing a manifesto scrawled on the walls in blood and/or faeces.

Mini KG is at Barker (yr12) - Mirco KG goes next yr (first yr fully co-Ed). Not sure at the league scholarships nor the nouveau riche. Barker is a very different school from other ones around here - especially Knox, PLC, Abbotsleigh and Ravenswood. Obviously that is my perception. Shore is def the ...

Swinton is quality those lads giving him shit wouldn't know a blindside flanker from a bar of soap. There's a problem there with a bit too much uncontrolled aggression, but that's a f-ck load better than too little aggro. Once he gets a handle on that he's going to be a star. If it wasn't for that ...

Okay boys, selection day. Who can suggest a bolter who is going to make today's squad from out of left field? Btw, given the NZ teams won 23 of the 25 TT matches, if Rennie can put together a Wallaby team that's even remotely competitive with the AB's then he will be doing extremely well, and Ian F...

Which one is making the blindside tackles from the set pieces? Valetini made a great try saving tackle off the scrum last night… You probably missed it because it wasn’t Henry Stowers. What? Your team got arse f**ked last night. Your attempt to talk them up is a bit pathetic. What are you actually ...

Jesus. Who. Would. You. Pick. At. 6? I will take the liberty of answering on His behalf. LSL at 6, Valetini to come on at 60 or even earlier to go berserk. LSL into the middle of the row. We are a bit worried about the lineouts, would prefer to start with the best possible targets, all things being...

It's not rugby loig slimmy. #6 in real rugby has to have situational awareness and anticipation in defensive positioning, not just be another "centre". He was going OK in the first half of tonight's game, but his head dropped, and he lost focus in the second. I'm all for getting Lurch Thorn in ther...
