OZ rugby player movement

You guys must get different commentary over there, or some sort of subliminal messages that people on the east coast dont get transmitted because of costs etc. Where is this fabled ECB?

Well maybe take your Tah ear muffs off and listen to what they are saying for a change.

Seriously, watch any Force game, with Aussie commentators, and they will no doubt mention random NSW players all night long. They can no longer mention Pocock without throwing in a comment about Waugh teaching him a lesson a few weeks back. Any time they talk about the young guys, Beale or Horne get a mention. And there is also the guarantee that Tuqiri will get mentioned 25 times (but I think that is in his ARU contract, so not really the fault of Fox Sports).

Oh, right. That. Is it really that important to you? I mean, are Force players especially sensitive and need constant reasurance of their existance and importance? Or is it just the fans?

Its mainly Phil ' tahs are the greatest team in the history of anything ever ' Kearns, chook. Kafer, Martin and Clarke are not so bad. Theres usually 4 or 5 ' comparisons every FORCE game by Kearns.

Even the kiwi commentator's were comparing Pocock to Waugh ( and McCaw ) last night.


Im important to me ......

i think some Force fans are being overly sensitive about it, but what they say does actually happen, if someone like Pocock or Horwill were playing for NSW, they would have a repuation bigger then Ben Hur by now.

[chook]

Well, thats where the problem is then. They don't play for the Tahs, which is pretty bad for them. I feel your pain.

Thanks for that Gerry, I actually thought you sat down with pen and paper and wrote it all down. Now I know better.
