[“I love Kurtley. Him and I have been on the bench a lot this year and we talk a lot about the game in training, out of training, even during the game.
“Him and I are always talking about what’s going on on the field. We did that at the Rebel. I really enjoy playing with him and being around him.
“His influence [on the team] is great.”
ooops forgot to say that Higgers sounds like a promo from "The King and I"...what a load of bull twang
This is still a witch hunt
Hopefully Patston won't be seen near professional rugby again. What a farking disgrace. Hand bags at 10 paces
What a farking circus
Pulver should have been round to offer her 8 weeks of redundancy pay
Link should get 8 weeks redundancy pay and we hire a performance coach rather than another "team coach" which would be illegal under the Rudd/Gillard work place industrial relations commo, lezo, femmo socialist anti success agenda where Australian employers are no longer employing.
Rod kafer should be coach. he seems to be the only bloke in Australian rugby who has a farking clue. With a lack of physiaclly dominant players and a lack of ability, we need to be clever. Kafer gives us a new rugby IQ. Link coaches like a prop. Axe Gilmeister should be defence coach. say what you will about Campese but I reckon he would get our backline destroying opposition defences. The flat footed flatline that passes behind the man needs to be amended.
Time for the broom. This cancer starts at the top

yeah,put down the glass,whilst typing
Rex doesn't sound like the type of guy who'd bother with a glass! ;-p
BEALE’S CODE OF CONDUCT HEARING
To wrap up the craziest 48 hours in Australian rugby history, we return to a key figure in the Wallabies’ recent troubled history.
Kurtley Beale’s ARU tribunal heading for allegedly distributing offensive text messages about former Wallabies business manager Di Patston in June is set down for 10 minutes after the Wallabies depart for Europe (5pm Sydney time). That means Beale’s teammates will learn of his fate when they are out of the country.
If Beale is suspended, Cheika faces an immediate task to galvanise what could be a divided outfit, with many senior players supporting the popular playmaker.
Should Beale be found guilty of misconduct at Friday’s hearing, he also faces the prospect of being lost to Australian rugby. Already clubs from the NRL and French rugby are being touted as future homes.
If he’s cleared, he could find himself joining the Wallabies in Europe. Crazy.

GnG Rugby ask "What do you think if Beale get's a slap on the wrist?"
And a lot of people are saying they'll refuse to support the Wallabies.
I'll still be going to Wallabies games and Waratah's games (if they play in Perth) but I'll be going with a sign that says something along the lines of "Aus Rugby Suporters Don't Support Sexual Harasment!" or similar.
this should be a drinking game!
If he gets a slap on the wrist, it'll be yesterday's fish and chip paper in 48 hours
The Tossers at G&G rugby who spend their entire waking life on a rugby chat forum will support the wallabies. It's like the scorpion and the frog.......it's in his nature.
I doubt there would be a test they wouldn't watch. If you like rugby, you watch rugby. It's that simple and that complex.
Beale appears in serious sh1te. My guess is his @rse is grass.
If he gets off, I'm happy for him. This circus was a result of inept and incompetent management and poor hiring decisions.
Kurtley is a rugby player. He wasn't selected for a Rhodes scholarship. Let him play rugby. Good managers/coaches develop people's strengths. That is why he will be a superstar again in wallaby gold under Cheika. Cheika gets the best out of him and when he's fit and his confidence is high, he will carve up teams as good as the allblacks and he also brings the best out of Folau by creating the space and the opportunities to do massive damage.
I hope he stays.
No point getting on your high horse. Which man alive has not done worse? Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
Kurtley made a stupid mistake. He isn't clever. He needs good leaders to make sure his mind is on rugby.
I say, let Kurtley play
