Heard on the radio this morning that they are training this evening ..at McGillivray oval ??

There was only a small crowd there and most people would have got the signatures by 4.30, no point in them hanging around

my issue was that they put out there come down at 4 see them train and get signatures to get there and find out training was before hand which they called a closed session and they signed and left. Wouldnt have driven 40mins if they has said come meet players from 4pm was just annoyed i guess was good for the kids though and those who wanted a picture.

I wonder if the same thing will be said Saturday night at Subi...

[hertryk]

Very likely... INMvery HO I think it won't be just the Wallabies very poor form but the venue... I am not going purely because it's Subi...

[PerthGirl]

I want to go and support the boys although hate patersons but due to have a baby in week so watching another loss could bring on suddenlabour!! Might distract from the result at least!! :-)

Could call the baby Pat Jules if you have the little one during the rugby

[SNOB]

I'd pay double to watch them at NIB even in their current slump but Subi you can keep!

Could do but she might not forgive me when she hits those teenage years :-)

Don't think it matters what you do for kids in the teenage years we are wrong in everything we do and everything we have done up until that point

You forgot to include everything we haven't done......and everything else that's wrong with the world being somehow attributable to our presence.

me too, but also because I somehow got invited to a special 2 for 1 promotion.

we effectively got 1/2 price gold tickets for 4 people (about $38 each).

up until I got that email I was probably going to skip it, but that offer made it worthwhile.

O’Connor edges closer to new rugby deal Justin Chadwick -The Roar

The playing future of James O’Connor could be sorted as early as next week as the star Wallaby edges closer to a reunion with the Western Force.

O’Connor has been left in limbo at Super Rugby level since being dumped by the Melbourne Rebels in July.

The 23-year-old is keen to continue his international career with the Wallabies, but he needs to earn a deal with the Force if that is to happen.

Just in case his former club don’t come to the party with an offer, O’Connor’s manager has been seeking out other options.

A code switch to the NRL could be on the cards, along with a playing stint in Europe.

But O’Connor remains hopeful that won’t be necessary, expressing his desire to achieve greater heights with the Wallabies.

“I’m very happy in rugby at the moment,” O’Connor said ahead of Saturday night’s Test against Argentina in Perth.

“I’ve got a lot I want to achieve in this game with this group.

“I don’t think we’ve reached anywhere near our peak.”

The Wallabies have a week off after taking on Argentina, and O’Connor hopes to get everything sorted during that period.

“That’s when I can take some time out to evaluate where I’m at,” he said.

“If all things are going well, it could be done in that week – possibly.

“I love Perth. It’s an amazing city. I spent four years here and I’ve come back every year as well for holidays and to catch up with mates.

“But it’s in my manager’s hands.”

For the moment, O’Connor is desperate to help the Wallabies snap their four-game losing run.

Australia were thumped 38-12 by the Springboks in Brisbane last week, and O’Connor said the team’s recent lean trot had left the players hurting and hungry to atone.

“A Test match loss is a lot heavier than a Super Rugby loss,” O’Connor said.

“You’re never ready for it. It’s not something you enjoy at all. It’s very frustrating.

“You just want to get out there as soon as possible and start working on how to fix it.”

-So his manager is STILL f###***n around about the money!!!! FFS!
