Just finished no mas there. It was ok. They didn't really get into Duran in any real way, he's shown as a bit cartoonish. I've only seen the two Escobars and Winning Time and both are awesome. Started watching no mas too. Any others worth seeing? The Two Escobars is good but a little contrived with...

that's a fair point i think the cultural change has been stark once the provincial players were removed from the game - the cache of playing for some of the big teams has gone, and the old club loyalties have returned Yea sure thing. All those Tarf players are really loyal. :lol: I wonder how many ...

Yea sure thing. All those Tarf players are really loyal.

the really noticeable change for me is the relative strength of the Dublin clubs compared to Munster and Ulster. The game at AIL level has become much younger, and the strength of the Leinster Schools is really bearing fruit, the numbers of players being produced is phenomenal Just guessing but wit...

Am I right in saying that no league half has switched over an been a real success at 10? Rogers played it a bit but that was only a few years in rugby (I think he played it as a youngster too?) and he wasn't exactly a success. Myler has done okay but it took him 6 years to get a cap and he has only...

Not sure I want a person who isn't capable of honours maths teaching kids tbh. The Irish education system needs to stop promoting mediocrity. I'm not so sure honours maths is necessary for teaching kids under the age of 10. what's honors math? calculus or less than that? Everything; calculus, trig ...

I'm always amazed the number of people who know more about what is right for education over those who actually work in education. Generally using that one teacher they hated in school as proof they know better. Read the thread and what was actually said. There is plenty of debate over whether HM ha...

There isn't the quality of player for an 8 team tournament. Playing somewhere like Adelaide is also a big risk. You would have an 8 team tournament, played in a couple of areas which are a big crowd risk and with a greatly diminished standard of play. How is that attractive to an audience? I think i...

Couldn't the Aussies set up another 3 teams in Adelaide / North Sidney / Gold Coast / Newcastle and have an 8 team round robin competition? They'd have a 14 game regular season (2 games shorter than it currently is) and they could then either have round-robin semis or they could have a play-off wit...
