    Seems ironic that a pic of the press conference is up on 'Twit Pic' ... http://twitpic.com/5ejhqs

    At his age shouldn't he be called Grumpy instead of angry?

    Agreed, if Rugby had a list like this he'd have the same nickname as Michael Atherton.

    He has been a tough competitor, but has not had the impact in the last couple of seasons. When he takes the ball up, he usually gets tackled back way behind the advantage line.

    Farewell Captain Caveman. A great servant of Australian Rugby. Pity he couldn't leave on better terms...seems like he got cut.

    Credit to Phil for knowing its time and not drawing it out. He's not able to play 80 anymore and his body doesn't get him through as many matches as he got through in the past. It would only be downhill from here. Plus he probably stands in the way of a bit of a necessary cultural change amongst the Waratahs.

    Wonder if that means Elsom will replace him.

    Nice. Love him or hate him, there is no doubt that he was a hell of a player and competitor and should be remembered as one off the top shelf.

    I wonder who will take over as Captain. Dean Mumm hasn't really impressed. Vickerman maybe? He's signed until 2013.
