    There’s too much blind supporting going on here.

    Robinson claimed he told Oz, Marinos claimed he didn’t.

    Somebody is lying. And leaving an implication you’ll pull out if something isn’t done etc etc is not good enough. It’s the communication age and this is a big deal.

      Many of the ABs and Wallaby players have been in regular contact so I am sure the situation was discussed amongst themselves prior to Friday. If Rennie was genuinely surprised he mustn't be talking to Hooper and co.

        It makes them both look bad

          Ultimately we don't know who said what to whom.

          You are entitled to believe anyone you want, but it's just blind guessing. But if it helps you sleep at night, go nuts.

          The COVID situation has made a mess of something that looked relatively straightforward a month ago.

          Let's hope we get a resolution without placing too much burden on the players. While they are well remunerated, being without your family for long stretches is incredibly tough.

          I think the challenge in scheduling is balancing the needs of broke unions with the needs of a tiring player group.

          It's a bastard of a job, which is why the situation at the moment is almost understandable. Everyone must be at their wits end with this whole thing, perhaps a blow up was always inevitable.

            Yeah the main thing is it makes both unions look like fucking amateurs. Communication, both internal, external, and to the public is key to businesses. Rugby unions are still back in the 80s

              Probably because they keep looking to ex-players for administrative competence.

                  But not YOUR State Premier. This is key.

                        I have some faith they'll work it out as they worked out stuff last year and for TTSR even while carrying on like clowns then too.

                                To many clowns to choose from these days - Gats, Cheika, Marinos, Robinson ....

                                Although, Cheika seems less clownish on the Stan coverage these days, he just seems pretty passionate about rugby and is often very complimentary of the ABs.

                                  Many of the ABs and Wallaby players have been in regular contact so I am sure the situation was discussed amongst themselves prior to Friday. If Rennie was genuinely surprised he mustn't be talking to Hooper and co.

                                  That's interesting, good that they're getting along these days as opposed to a few years ago.

                                  It was mainly the clown that insisted on the Wallabies not being friendly with the ABs wasn't it?

                                  Gatland? 😜

                                  To many clowns to choose from these days - Gats, Cheika, Marinos, Robinson ....

                                  Although, Cheika seems less clownish on the Stan coverage these days, he just seems pretty passionate about rugby and is often very complimentary of the ABs.

                                  Yeah he's a good commentator, just very invested to he point of idiocy when invovlved in the team. I would have loved the tech to have a mini picture in picture of him in the coaching box during all the Bleds - such ridiculous over the top ranting!

                                    It was just when Cheika was coaching against us. He tried to use a seige mentality that had a negative impact on their discipline at times

                                      Writing for keo.co.za, South African columnist Mark Keohane went one step further and called for the All Blacks to either forfeit points for missing next weekend's match or be booted from the Rugby Championship.

                                      "If the All Blacks can't make their games, then they should forfeit the points or they should withdraw from the tournament and allow Australia, South Africa and Argentina to get on with it," Keohane wrote.

                                      LOL, very short memory

                                          I had drafted a post winding back the "He's lying" accusation, but I either didn't post it or it got deleted for all the drunk typos.

                                          As I said yesterday I think the issue is lack of agreement not lack of consultation.

                                          That's not to say I don't find Marinos as credible as a used car salesman, and it seems to me as if RA's default position is to whinge in the media.

                                          And @Machpants Keo is one of the original clickbait artists.
