Sharpie's reply:

Western Force skipper Nathan Sharpe has dismissed reports of a player revolt against coach John Mitchell which could see him and Matt Giteau leave the club as "scandalous rubbish".
Speaking from Brisbane, where he is looking to revive his international career against the All Blacks in the Tri Nations decider this weekend, Sharpe spoke for the first time of his pain at being dropped by Wallaby coach Robbie Deans - and his anger at rumours of Force unrest emanating out of New Zealand
...
"I have just signed a three year deal over there. I would not sign for three years if I was unhappy in certain areas," Sharpe said.
"Complete rubbish. I don't know where they get that sort of thing from, and that pretty much sums up where I am it with it.
"I know for a fact that what Gits wants to get sorted out is the contractual thing off the field, certainly he has got no problem with Mitch - he gets on really well with him.
"Those reports they are a bit scandalous - but we love a scandal in the West."
"We.. in the west"-Onya Sharpie!
From SMH
Giteau has refused to comment to the press about the matter.
Wonder what this is then????

That was to quash last weeks load-o-crap rumour.... now he can devote next week's column to "I don't hate Mitch"
You've nailed it GIGS20
Mitchell looks to much like Sharpie and J Mitchell - for Gits this is just not a turn on - so this is why they are no longer dating (or didn't start dating- whatever
)
Sharpie and J Mitchell are in revolt defending the less Hirsute members of the team - after all - All forwards know that the backs are just jealous of the Forwards - QED

ACT home in on Giteau
Apparently it's an attempt to get him to the Brumbies despite everyone involved saying it's a social meeting.![]()
I always thought Canberra was well behind the times.
This story was squashed yesterday and they have only just caught on.
They will run the line "Leaving talk is baseless" by about Thursday or Friday.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
must be a slow news week in sydney if they have to mash 3 old articles together to try to give their 'source' some credibility.
Another version of Sharpie's reply.
Force skipper Nathan Sharpe rubbishes coaching rift
September 08, 2008 07:00pm
WESTERN Force skipper Nathan Sharpe has rubbished reports he and fellow Wallabies star Matt Giteau want out because of coach John Mitchell.
Sharpe, expected to return to Australia's second-row for Saturday night's Tri-Nations decider against New Zealand, labelled the NZ-based report as completely wrong and scandalous.
The Sunday News quoted an unnamed Force insider that both Sharpe and Giteau were set to leave amid a player revolt against former All Blacks coach Mitchell.
``The first I heard of that article that I was considering leaving, I'd just signed a three-year deal over there,'' the 70-Test lock said after Wallabies training at Ballymore today.
``I can tell you I wouldn't consider re-signing if I was unhappy in a certain area so it's complete rubbish.
``I don't know where they got those things from but that pretty much sums up where I'm at.''

I was just about to post that!
Its almost a year since MATT GITEAU COMMITTED TO THE EMIRATES WESTERN FORCE - Western Force Rugby Supporters Site
Is this going to be a yearly thing, in which case can't they just recycle the articles and do away with the *BREAKING NEWS* headlines now?
i think they are just trying to scare us in saying that gits will leave
they obviously dont have any other news to talk about so they resurface old news
BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
