Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
Seems ironic that a pic of the press conference is up on 'Twit Pic' ... http://twitpic.com/5ejhqs

he's overrated; not in Pocock's or Hoddy's league
At his age shouldn't he be called Grumpy instead of angry?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Agreed, if Rugby had a list like this he'd have the same nickname as Michael Atherton.
Love him or hate him he has made a huge contribution to the game over the years. I wish him well in retirement...
He has been a tough competitor, but has not had the impact in the last couple of seasons. When he takes the ball up, he usually gets tackled back way behind the advantage line.
gee i wouldnt have wanted to have competed against George Smith or David Pocock for a test spot all these years. Thats shit would dent your ego man
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Farewell Captain Caveman. A great servant of Australian Rugby. Pity he couldn't leave on better terms...seems like he got cut.
coz Stone Cold says so
Credit to Phil for knowing its time and not drawing it out. He's not able to play 80 anymore and his body doesn't get him through as many matches as he got through in the past. It would only be downhill from here. Plus he probably stands in the way of a bit of a necessary cultural change amongst the Waratahs.
Wonder if that means Elsom will replace him.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
Or Robinson, with a great big smug grin on his face...?
I met him the other day by chance at a Sydney minis match with his lads... his is a genuinely nice guy... I wish him all the best and his family, he has been a wonderful competitor in Australian rugby...
Nice. Love him or hate him, there is no doubt that he was a hell of a player and competitor and should be remembered as one off the top shelf.
I wonder who will take over as Captain. Dean Mumm hasn't really impressed. Vickerman maybe? He's signed until 2013.
