Come on now Ecky, that's just you refs fiddling with the facts as usual. Leave that to us journos please!
The law was made for man -- man was not made for the law. Jesus said that, so it must be...
Gee thanks. Yes, we have a new crop of imports this year. Including backs, God help us. Some of them are even coming to training.
Absolutely correct. An appalling decision from a very unimpressive ref. Not that it made a lot of difference, the Farce scored shortly after anyway.
And the goal kicking. Beyond woeful. And the tackling, abysmal. And the total lack of penetration and creativity -- like poorly programmed robots running on half charge, each player seemed to make a...
Who the hell would be a Force supporter? What a collection of slow, predictable, lethargic, error-ridden plodders. Even taking away the sterling efforts of the bent Japie muppet with the whistle,...
(Pedantic journo's corner: I cannot tell you how furiously I grit my teeth when I see the noun 'cruel' abused as a verb. There is no such word as 'cruelled' and people who use it should have their...
The TMO actually said that he couldn't be sure that the player's foot had gone into touch first, so the referee could award the try. It's in line with the "benefit of doubt to the attacking team"...
And not least, one or two super 14 players aren't often going to make the difference between winning or losing. The teams in the finals got there without super 14 players and if they keep on winning,...
KWIK Premier Grade: Minor Semi Final: Associates 22 bt Palmyra 15.
Reserve Grade: Minor Semi Final: Cottesloe 27 bt Palmyra 20.
Under 20's: Minor Semi Final: Nedlands 35 bt Cottesloe 0.
Under...
And all the Springboks who were offside in the lead up.
Parking at Rosalie is hopeless. More parking is long overdue. (Pity they can't do something about the dual ground markings as well)
I understand that the Cottesloe management was incensed at certain members of the Palmyra crowd constantly heckling their Western Force representative, often in an insulting and personal manner. They...
It's called the cycles of club rugby, actually Frank. Congratulations on a first class win by Palmyra, that was as good a second half of tight finals rugby as I've seen. You could read all the nice...
It's amazing how people look biased against your team, isn't it? Referees, journalists, administrators -- all of them are hell bent on being too hard on your team and too soft on the opposition. It's...
Jeez I dunno Frank -- better not count your emus before they've hatched. Paly has Wanneroo and Cottesloe and it wouldn't surprise me unduly if you lost both of those. I mean, Paly is the team that...
And also because in the past, third and fourth grade competitions have tended to blow out to 12 to 15 teams, and your chances of making the finals might be down to getting drawn against a weaker team...
If you were his wife, I bet he'd hate it more :-)
From what I saw on Saturday there is nothing stopping Wanneroo from getting results this year apart from a few too many errors and a few problems with finishing. The Roo-dogs had a fair share of...
No, it's a new paper. A combination of the Eastern Suburbs Reporter and the Western Suburbs Weekly.
(Look, you don't tell them that I don't know who I'm writing for, and neither will I. It'll be...
This is typically sexist South island behaviour. When do the ladies get a go?
Nick has moved on to the West Australian. The Sunday Times has a new rugby reporter called Dale Granger. RugbyWA has been trying for some time to arrange for coverage in the Sunday Times for the...
To be brutally honest, Coach, it wasn't that good a game. It was tight, and exciting because of that but it was the poorest exhibition I have seen from Neddies this season. And yes, Frank, some of...
Boys boys boys. It's just a frame of reference. Next year when all Palmyra's blow-ins blow out again and Paly return to the bottom of the table, the team will be referred to as "former finalists...
OK, thanks for that. I have no objection to robust debate, on the contrary, I encourage it. In my opinion the past model of one-way information in the media will increasingly be outmoded as consumers...
You seem to be under the impression that I'm some sort of investigative reporter. In the couple of hours a week that I'm paid to cover community rugby, I just repeat what the coaches tell me. ...
