Could someone please tell me what it is about Randwick that seems to nark everyone

Ermmm...Pappy is Eastwood through and through, right up to being Pres.

But if he had been a green he might have skippered the Wallabies. Or coached them

My bad, brain short circuit. Shows you shouldn't read stuff with more than one eye on the game!!

I think I might have an idea where the rankle comes from!

The more experience the better, I wonder who the backs coach will be. Will he lower or increase the average age which is currently at 52.
Is it too late to apply?

**Alison** · 25-09-16, 10:12

52 is an excellent age!

......
Gaffney will continue to be employed by the ARU and the Force will announce a fulltime attack coach next week.

Gaffney is involved in that recruitment process.

“I suppose an old bugger like me has been around the traps, and that’s not to say I’m always right, but it means as a coaching group we will be able to challenge each other,” Gaffney said.

“I think adopting a different attitude to the way they play from the last couple of years is going to be pretty exciting for the Force.
“There are a number of good young players that are really hungry to play and don’t play with fear, so it’s an exciting time.”

nice to hear a few of those things.
unfortunately I'm getting excited about next season
After all these years of thinking things are improving and getting kicked in the teeth that's not the best feeling in the world
I feel like I'm just setting myself up for disappointment.

I hear you dawg!!

Yeah - it is great to have the team coming together for next year, with some seemingly decent signings.

Anyone know of a spot i can watch the games in Tarawa, Kiribati?
