    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    But isn't the World Cup about developing the game? It's true that Perpignan isn't home to any major stadiums, but Marseilles isn't all that far really - in fact it's just a little over the distance as Canberra to Sydney - and given that it was a world cup I reckon they should have chanced...

    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    I know, and they still would compete as separate entities, but I reckon those games should be treated a little like Origin, but with the ultimate goal of making a combined team that is as strong as possible. Heck, the poms do it with the Lions in League and Union - Irish, Scottish and Welsh guys...

    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    Not really that big a deal mate... sure they went to the games, but those were stadiums with around 10-20k capacities, and I gotta admit I didn't realise they were sell-outs either because the grounds looked more like local club grounds. Kinda like playing at Leichhardt. I reckon if the...

    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    It seriously has potential doesn't it? If they were seriously competitive it might also help to stop players picking Aus and NZ for rep duties. The problem would be the economics - the islands just don't have the economies of scale to make something like that very (if at all) profitable and...

    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    Yeah, I'd read about that - pretty horrible to say the least. Although in terms of atrocities surrounding sports bodies, Union ain't got nothing on soccer... League and Union definitely have a fraught history, but soccer is actively destroying people's lives as we speak, with the hideously...

    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    Can't agree I have to say. I hate soccer with a passion - growing up soccer fans were almost the most obnoxious and whiny... We had these wanker kids at my school who's parents tried get League and Union banned whilst they pushed for a bloody soccer team! Never had that sort of trouble with...

    The 4 Nations 2014 is a Mess

    That's true about France. They were massive in League at one stage and used to beat Australia and England. I believe the government conspired against the game to some degree though.

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    I'd love to see Perth and Adelaide sides added, but wasn't there a review saying the depth just doesn't exist?

    NRL expansion review process

    I'd love to see the Sharks moved to Perth for two reasons: 1. irony; and 2. It'd make Buzz Rothsloth cry.

    Wallabies can secure future with Tahs coach

    You sound like Jone's media manager... Australia weren't playing anywhere near what that paragraph suggests. The wallabies games this year consisted of constant forward capitulation and lack of dicipline and skill in handling. Never far off winning the games we lost? Against France and England...

    Gregan's silence said it all

    I agree that it's barely newsworthy, but you're more irritated than should be natural is all I'm saying... And honestly, the way you're posting, we'd be forgiven for thinking you were working for, or are related to Gregan and/or Jones.

    ARU Press Conference at 2:30pm

    Yes, those first few paragraphs praising his knowledge is obviously a testiment to that hatred... face it, only a select few loyalists like you are sticking up for Eddie, but everyone else is quite sure the wallabies would be much better off with a better coach. Eddie's had 4 years to build a...

    ARU Press Conference at 2:30pm

    He's not the worst coach we've had, but his arrogance has cost the team, and now himself. Greg Gowden layed it out for all to witness in this weekends paper: Lets just put it this way, if Rod MacQueen and John O'Neil were still in their respective positions, I wager we wouldn't ever have...

    Halfback

    What a tradgedy it would be for the wallabies if that has-been kept his spot.

    Gregan's silence said it all

    If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a very serious emotional connection to Jones and Gregan from that reaction... which explains why you've failed to see the wood for the trees on this one.

    ARU Press Conference at 2:30pm

    Spiro is a kiwi, so he's not bias, YOU ARE! You sound like you're related to Jones FFS! Seriously, you've not yet come up with a single reason WHY jones would have been successful in France despite hi measly -10% away record against the big guns. I believe it's down to Jones's attitude burning...

    Wallabies can secure future with Tahs coach

    Why do you care? According to your deluded theory only Jones could ever have given us a hope of winning the RWC... yet you curiously fail at ever corner to explain why anyone would have had hope in a coach with an away record of less than 10% against top 5 nations... but that's most likely down...

    ARU must go

    Those fools should never have let John O'Neil go! He would have built us a national comp to rival the NPC!

    Wallabies coach wanted

    ummm... excuse me, but I thought this year had consigned us to the backwaters of international rugby thanks to the attrocious and ineffective coaching methods of that moron Eddie Jones.

    ARU Press Conference at 2:30pm

    Yet you still manage to avoid explaining why anyone would be confident with Jones at the helm after 4 years of away tests against top 5 nations only bring a 10% success rating... How was he going to win in France with such an obvious inability to win tough games overseas? come on! Answer if you...
