Bye Bye (bla bla bla) :lol:

go sniff a cock bouquet with diarrhea sprayed all over it with some regurgitated intestines as ornament, all dished out on a brain's tissue stretched out wide to serve as a tray you small little bird shagger. I hate your guts and don't you ever return here again.....please, sir.

Yep a troll, I'm not even going to report this to staff before I issue the two day ban.

I think it's great a guy like him comes on to make these sooky little troll attempts. Just makes the win that much sweeter that some loser from Canberra had to go trolling to make himself feel better lol.

You're welcome back any time mate . Enjoy it out there in Canberra buddy!

This. I watched the game and all I could imagine was both team's defensive coaches with their head in their hands definitely don't wanna see basketball-esque scoreline's become a regular thing in rugby!

Seriously though, I don't get what's wrong with both teams getting points from penalties? It's an aspect that I actually quite enjoy, though it does help when you support a team with a ridiculously accurate kicker in Halfpenny something satisfying about watching a long range penalty going over, and even more so with a tactical ding dong battle like this final was!

I've always thought the same with the moaning over drop goals, I've seen some pretty cool drop goals over the years. e.g. Ander Monro's one off the base of a ruck versus France in 2011 and Kotze's three in five minutes against Fiji. It's from open play, and usually rewards a team that has worked their way up field or punishes a team that made a horrid clearance kick. Often they are in slow ball situations anyway where a try would have been incredibly unlikely, would a knock on be more exciting than a droppie?

Here's an idea. Close. Thread.

No, less policing. Let's make this place a libertarian paradise.

Yeah I'm exactly the same about drop goals. That Kotze performance helped make that game a very entertaining one, kept it interesting in the beginning. I do get why some people want to see a Rugby League style points drop, but I really like it the way it is.

Remember Dan Parks being a damn good one for it, especially during his purple patch of the 2010 6 Nations. Did it twice against Wales if I remember right. Scotland mucked up an attack by committing too many numbers on one side of the pitch, so he just stepped back and slotted a drop goal. Went on to later slot a superb 40m drop goal after a clearance from Stephen Jones. Even though it was against Wales, it was hard not admire the skill involved.
Don't get why more teams don't do it, great way of extending a lead or keeping the scoreboard ticking over if the defence is proving difficult to break down around the 22m.

I don't see the point of reducing drop goals to 2 points, they are rarely used anyways. Also, they are a very skilled play, certainly not something most can do in a difficult situation.

Agreed, I generally see this argument made by fans of sides that virtually never use them, so I think it more leads into them gaining an advantage. The average per game is probably less than 1(my guess is soemthing around 0.5-0.8 P.G.) even in N.H. games. I think TRC didn't have a single one in 2013 though I think the Argies may have attempted one or two and missed.

Head above the parapet time.....I thought that the final was extremely enjoyable and a lot of skill was on show.

BUT............ I do find the modern rugby game less enjoyable in general being very much a collision based (meaning bish bash bosh) game and it can be very boring when that is all there is to it.......

I believe that this progression toward to the more "rugby league" type defence orientated game of stringing the defending team across the pitch to be very suffocating and only relieved occasionally by some outrageous talent.....I am not sure that there is any answer to that at present but on the reverse, I certainly would not like the game to turn into the more basketball tag rugby type game that some want it to be by the dropping of the scrummage or reduction of drop goal points etc.

But there again, I am just an old fuddy duddy who remembered those wonderful breaks by players such as Barry John or Richard Sharp which could never be made in modern rugby.............!!!
