And some alleged racism from the gossip queen...

From his Ruck n Maul column last week: One Australian province is all aflutter over two players caught on CCTV in a back lane of a red light district being passionate … with each other. No wonder that province is currently enjoying a good form streak. And this is from today: Our item last week about...

Higgers is strong in the lineout. If you're going with Skelton, he's not a bad option for 8. Based on what? Why do so many undervalue the importance of the no. 8 role? We have been weak for years since Mowen. At least no one is suggesting Palu, he is finished at test level, some say S15 level. Japa...

Slim 293

I would have been certain of Simmons if it hadn't been for his, and Luke Jones', recent form. 196 cm is too small for a lineout specialist IMO. We have to have one 200cm + lock. Going on the Tah's ongoing lineout implosions, it shouldn't be Douglas. Jones could be in with a shot for the other lock ...

Slim 293

That table is interesting. What it lacks is minutes played, so you can get a game by game average. Otherwise it suggests that Will Skelton is very lazy and doesnt deserve to be in the coversation. It also suggests that Sam Carter would be a good option with Luke Jones. Luke Jones is by far and away...

Phipp's passing technique is very slow and laboured... Even if he got to the ruck quickly, by the time he picks up the ball and passes it the defence is in the flyhalf's face... :lol: What?

Slim 293

Groucho, you must be thinking of a different player, because the Nick Phipps that currently plays halfback for the Waratahs picks up the ball and does a massive backswing with his arms before he gets out the ball... On top of that he's the sookiest lil' count playing professional rugby... :nod: But ...

I'm surprised Phipps is still on the field after calling the assistant ref a "f**king idiot" ... I heard that as well. Should have been binned. Even a punch doesn't get you a card these days.... I'm pretty sure if someone punched that whingy sack of shit Phipps it would get overlooked as well... ;)

Moore shoulda been carded http://i.minus.com/ik0iyMhG2uViZ.gif That should've been a card, haymaker to the abdomen of a prone player.... but that gif makes it look like Quirk milks it for all he's worth - takes the shot, realizes what happened, then launches himself dolphin style off to his left.

Slim 293

So the sequence is: Moore places his arm on Quirk but doesn't grab. Slim proved this isn't a bind. This is not an offence, unless you can dig up some more laws. Quirk then grabs him. This is a penalty offence. Moore then thumps Quirk. This is a yellow card or red card offence. My reading is no try,...

You f**king muppet. I even bolded it for you. When you bold something that's wrong it doesn't correct itself... It's like you drink "stupid" for breakfast. Slim has even quoted the law.

So he should. About time players left players on the other side of the ruck alone. They should be thumped if they try it. ;) Are you saying he should have been sent off?

Slim 293

The disallowed try and Moore not walking was probably the worst call I've seen. Firstly, the grab didn't interfere with play. Genia scored after he stopped holding, and it was on the other f**king side! Secondly, you can't punch somebody, even if they're holding you. Personally, I would have given ...
