Brumbies unchanged for the third week in a row

When I hit the age of 35 and my career just starts to fully blossom, Matt Giteau will be most likely hanging up his boots. I don’t begrudge him anything for ensuring the financial wellbeing of himself and his family.

Club loyalty is an important thing and I respect the current Geelong Cats members who have forsaken larger salaries to stay at the club. However that loyalty should be expected to only go so far. It is only a few decades ago that ‘club loyalty’ was used by clubs to pay footy players of all codes a pittance. We see those players today that are old, disabled, and poor. I would not want to be one of them.

I wouldn’t single Giteau out for any booing that wasn’t part of a general Force directed spray.

I’ll be cheering that he’s returning to where he belongs. I won’t be cheering if he scores 20 points & guides the Force to a victory though. 🙂

& I don’t think the wins have been entirely unconvincing….a win in NZ is a win in NZ & a win over the Crusaders is…well, a win over the Crusaders. Both games they stuck it out, stuck it out, stuck it out & ended up getting over the line. They’ll be better off for the experience, that much is certain.
