Still floating around, still making quite a good living, still parlaying a moderate talent into a sort of "celebrity" status. He does shopping centre openings, that sort of thing. His wife - the monstrous Marlene - is the brains behind the outfit. It's sort of typical of this country that they should take someone like Joe - not quite a fraud, because he was quite talented in his day, but nowadays milking it - to their hearts. God I hate this country.

To quote Homer Simpson: "Mmmmmmmmm ... Dunedin". Wasn't it blissful?

I see Nathan Williams (former reds, latterly of Stade Francais) has signed for Quins here. At 26 I take it he has given up on any chance of wearing the green and gold? |
He was never close. Actually, Manny Edmonds - Waratahs half-back and full-back who has played for Australia - is nicking off to France. Perpignan, I think. Very very good player on his day. He's struggled with injuries, and, when he's had his chances, hasn't really taken them, unfortunately. Then, he would get a game and star. Then, he'd put in a couple of ordinary ones. He played both Australia A games against the French and starred. His future with the Waratahs looked a bit ordinary behind Duncan MacRae.

Are you interested in the fantasy rugby betting idea Havak?
What about Tamerlin and LDiCesare? Are you guys interested?

Live fast, die poor, Havak!

I didn't mean outnumbered in terms of nationality, more in terms of outloook on the game. You know, like in yours and Finbars strange assertions that SH officials are anything more than passable. |
Mais non! Vous avez votre collegues francais! You outnumber us trois to deux there, aussi.

I caught a little of Edmonds during the Lions tour. Solid player but suspect concentration (takes his eye off the ball on occassion)? Perpignan is a fascinating choice as their strength is based around their forwards - still we beat them home and away in Europe last season (you knew I couldn't resist telling you that?) |
He's capable of more than solid. He can be terrific. Great runner with the ball. But you're right, it could be his concentration that's suspect. I think he's better off at fullback - he also prefers it - rather than halfback because there's a lot less immediate pressure.
quote:
I'd rather it was McCrae going to France because the violent little chap would learn a little humility there (the French would soon sort him out)? |
That was a bizarre incident. He's always been aggressive, but never that much. He regrets it.
quote:
Oh gawd you are going to bring him in November as cover for Larkham aren't you. I tell no word of a lie when I tell you he is generally as welcome here as Healey is down there. And don't ever think of taking him to Ireland on tour - the boys there still want a word. |
He might or might not go. I think he should, he's a very very good player. Good ball skills, terrific at finding holes, very quick and strong. He was almost singlehandedly responsible for turning that "A" match around last Tuesday night. It depends on what plans they have for Matt Rogers, who is being gradually - too gradually, I think - introduced to playing close in. And I suspect Duncan will happily go anywhere and take whatever's coming right on the chin. As it were.

The original post - about the "A" match - was a while ago.
