    State of the Union

    Not Good.......JO must fall as what is happening does not give me any confidence in a decent future for the Wallabies. Strikes me that a major clear out is required, but will it happen???????????

    The old boys are ruling and that is killing us all!!!

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    TOCC, we fell over the line against Wales, it could just have easily been 0-3. And while we are at it, let's not completely forget the Scotland Test.

    We gave one team by definition in the finals no matter what, the second are a struggle. Neither looks a patch on any of the real contenders.

    Don't try peddling an "all is rosy" picture, that's bull and you know it.

    TOCC. If there was a WC today with the players we have available we would be screwed!
    The way the ARU have handcuffed ALL of the FRANCHISE's is a joke and very one eyed.
    We have tiny squads and are all relying on our stars. They get injured and we don't have the depth. I admit that Reds manged with out QC but only just.
    Squads need to be larger and the academy situation is a joke.

    I never said "all is rosy" so you probably shouldn't use quotation marks on that comment, however i don't believe that 'it is all doom and gloom' either....

    I agree there are areas of the game that could definitely improve, one area is the Force been allowed to recruit more foreigners... The national academy is a difficult one, the reason it was drawn under the ARU was for financial reasons but definitely impedes the provinces.
