BUMPED from page 6. AS you all know, I don't post on this thread. Much. However, something has arisen which is interwoven with the current rugby issue of which team should be dropped from SR. You probably already know about the dodgy sale of the brumbies griffith (ACT) real estate. You probably als...

I'm not going over the turkey thing again but this thread should more correctly be called Food I can't cook properly I go with that. What a lot of nonsense. We tend to roast cockerel than turkey but get your cooking times right and blast it first thing and baste like there's no tomorrow, a turkey i...

Which is the most obvious multi - Pat the Ex Mat, Perthy or LeGrenouile?

Taking the emotion out of it, and sidelining the fact the Brumbies are Australia's most successful team. Why aren't they under the gun? I can understand NSW and Queensland being outside the scope because of their pedigree and history, traditional rugby nurseries, but shouldn't all three remaining s...

Mismanagement

I love that the Saffas are acting smug. You're losing two teams and the only reason the NZRU want to keep you in is so they can negate your advantage of playing at altitude

Considering the statement from the vice chair of RugbyWA, it seems likely that the ARU gets their financial modelling done by one of the real housewives of Mosman, squeezed between her yoga and Amway sessions. It would explain the 'reverse funnel' revenue model they're relying on anyway. If you loo...

WTF is that?

It looks like congealed jizz in a gravy boat.

The Stormers vs Chiefs match remind me of what the S14 really was. S12 was the best option. 4 teams each. Full stop. So cut the Blues yeah? Would SANZAAR be willing to cut ties with a financial stable franchise in one of the biggest rugby nurseries in the game, home to arguably the strongest school...

Probably the most effective two sentence cast I've seen in a while.

Its interesting that the forum 'bubblefart Right' are either kiwis, Welsh or Saffas. Weird, as I tend to think of NZ as quite left wing, the Welsh as 'working class' and Saffas as quite a varied bunch. Plenty of conservatives and libertarians amongst the other nations, but there doesn't appear to b...

I value a wealth of viewpoints, and quite like SONs posts, even if I disagree with their content. Silver's are hilarious, as he's a master troll.

However, whenever DAC posts I hear a dull droning in my head. As such, I'm reserving my right to post a Vuvuzella whenever he starts a thread.

Do aussie supporters really think that Moore will not be the starting hooker and captain come international time? I can't see Cheeky selecting anyone else as Captain and that cements his place. Still its not a lay down misere so lets see what happens, though I do reserve the right to say "I told yo...

In Fulools defence he should not have played against the canes as he was a sick boy. He couldnt even fly home with the team on the Saturday. Due to Rob Hornes late withdrawl they were short in the backs meaning of Folau had withdrawn they would have been down a back. Form is temporary, class is per...

The thread is "Food that looks better than it tastes". Lobster is subtle, bland even. But it looks like a f**k sea cockroach. Did you think it was going to taste of ambrosia?!

Team to play in the RC. More experimentation in the June tests though. 1. Sio (manshamed Reds. Hes back baby) 2. Latu 3. Kepu 4. Arnold (MOTM worthy v Reds) 5. Coleman 6. Fardy 7. Hooper 8. Timani 9. Powell/Genia 10. Foley 11. Hodge (defending at 12) 12. Beale 13. Kerevi 14. DHP 15. Folou 16. TPN 1...

You've been whining about the ARU not investing in development. Now that they are dropping a team with the objective of freeing up funds to do that, you are whining about that. Perhaps you should decide what you want and stick to it. I think the issue for most people with a history of following rug...

Lots of people here showing they've never tasted fresh/ripe versions of what they are disparaging. Asparagus is one that comes to mind. Slightly out of season or stale and they suck dogs balls. Fresh in spring with butter lightly steamed and it's quite the reverse . Lots of people also extolling th...

I think Australian Rugby could go solo and develop a wholly domestic, 2nd tier comp. But it would take some courage, and the ARU and stakeholders would need to be prepared to wear some short term pain for long term gain. The reason for this is that initially the comp might not earn the ARU as much ...

In the absense of Fardy, what do people think about a Higgenbotham/Timani/Hooper backrow? Too seagully for my tastes but people on the hive of villainy which is the roar are harping on about it Will probably be what we end up with tbh. Who is going to do the hard work in the rucks from that lot tho...

A sole trader receives all the profits after tax and is accountable for the business as a whole. Responsible for losses. They have to do a self assessment every year and pay NI. Once you go after £83,000 you have to register for VAT. Limited Company you have to pay Corporation Tax and nominate dire...

So who do we want to take from the Rebels? None of their tight forwards. I'd like Mafi but I expect with one less club the appetite for foreign players will be reduced. I imagine Korobiete will be going back to league. I'd like to see a backline next year of 9. Powell 10. Jooste 11. Sefa 12. Hodge ...

Fardy has been class. Has to be picked in the RC, but perhaps for the June tests it would be a good idea to blood one of corechick/dempsey/staniforth/hanigan/Holloway.

They ARE top, fwiw. they could finish clear at the top by 20 points and they'd still be odds-on favourites for a playoff meltdown A big part of Wasps remit at the Ricoh is to play entertaining rugby and get bums on seats.

Terrible news for Australian rugby. Disastrous stuff. Hard to overstate just how badly the ARU and SANZAR plums have f**k this up. Mate they've staved off five years, so that's another 1500 paid lunches, 15 trips to London, a trip to Japan, plus probably a f**king land rover with my clubs subs. fud...
