Looks like stuff.co.nz won't approve my comment on the Mark Reason article. I wonder why? There was no swearing, abusive language or personal attacks. :dunno:
Perhaps they thought brain-dead arse monkey was an insult not a medical opinionQuote:

They don't like it when you make pinpoint arguments which expose hypocrisy, double-standards, lack of basic knowledge of the sport or world culture. I've even pointed out inherent racial bigotry before, but those comments don't last long either.Quote:

Disgusting behaviour and yet no mention of the huge funding disparity the Rebels received he just had to pick on WA. What a loser!Quote:

I happily deleted my work thinking Mark Reason will eat his words when WSR is a success - and hopefully we're competitive against the Saders as in the past - that's the litmus test in my books.Quote:

I really like the idea of sticking to time zones, so the yarpies play in Europe, the east coast stripe blazer bumboys play against new Zealand and th pacific and we play in Asia.
It's not a difficult concept, but it appears to be beyond the media types
Indeed, I think we shouldn't be playing the Rebels this year either. Anything that can cause a direct comparison between the current Force/WSR and the establishment teams/comps should be avoided. It only provides fuel to blithering ignoramuses who think that the quality of the team assembled is the point; which anyone with the ability to think in a non-partisan manner would see it is not.Quote:

Let's face it, what happens if Australia does break the RA and SANZAAR shackles and a bunch of Twiggies are found, who then decide to create a new Australian national competition, well-funded, well-advertised, well-broadcasted, playing an entertaining brand of rugby? And what if they decide that the only foreign involvement in this comp, is from equally well-funded, well-advertised teams from Asia? I'm sure the likes of Reason wouldn't be too happy to see the position his teams would be in, left in the lurch across the Tasman.
That's IF the article isn't just a parody or a work to stir up ticket-sales for the Crusaders game.
