SEASON '08 - ABOUT TIME!!

Haven't blogged here on this site for a while. I just ran out of steam at World Cup time, but have been posting on that great website The Roar in recent times.

I can thoroughly recommend it, for great informed debate, with very well informed Rugby tragics just like me.

Season predictions??

Waratahs to be the great improvers. The Brumbies to be in the middle of the pack. The Reds probably still down at the bottom, based on their trial form, as they don't seem to be able to put consistent performances in and the Force will be strong, again, as long as they don't implode.

Deans will be a good coach and England will come fourth in the Six Nations.

USA will slowly start to go from strength to strength with their new relationship with the All Blacks. I am quite excited about that.

Is there any chance that Los Angeles will field a Super 16 team in the near future? Maybe, wouldn't discount anything where these guys are concerned. With the world wide chairman of Saatchi and Saatchi as their CEO there have to be some pretty good brainstorming sessions going on in the boardroom.

The ARC? Bugger!!, but I do have some strong thoughts on what should replace it and would like to push that line a bit further over the coming months.

The Queensland Rugby Academy and the Labour Party pulling the funds?...pack of bastards as far as I'm concerned. I didn't vote for them, and never will.

Anyway, I've joined a couple of tipping comps, entered my tips, got my Setanta subscription, and looking forward to getting set in front of Fox on Friday arvo for the first game of the season with my beloved Brumbies.

Go you good things!!

Come on down and post on the site.
