Jeremy Paul: Wallabies Hooker, Line-out & Sink 'er
July 13th 2007 06:56
In follow up news...and following up from my previous post...looks like Justice will be served. And some Peace will be restored to the front row.
from The Daily Telegraph
For those of you are not au fait with Rugby terminology and choose not to ask a Rugby nowpert...the bolded statement does not mean that a prostitute called a bus to cancel an appointment.
A Rugby Hooker is the #2 position. The middle man in the scrum and the one responsible for line-out throws and is named thus because he/she has to 'hook' the ball with their feet once it gets fed into the scrum.
Carry on.
...yeah...that's because he felt sorry for the man.
JP is being very polite. The Wallabies have no option.
Hmmm...how uncanny. Please please quickly read the previous post to understand mysarcasm surprise....
JP...it doesn't matter dude. The way the line-outs are going...they could call me to throw in and it would still be a better throw...except I can't write straight, let alone throw the ball in straight
...rolling around the floor here...sorry...ROFL, ROFL....oh man...oh MAN...he's loving this...I bet you anything that he could not get the grin off his face when he said this.
Understand one thing...JP is not a bitter man. He is a vindicated man.
He may not have...but he's not the one with the ego problem is he?
See? SEE?????
I kid you not...I have quoted as is...so yes, that's right..."Stephen Moore and Stephen Moore" and yes the person who wrote this is a professional Rugby writer who gets paid to write aboutLarkham Rugby.
It's supposed to be "Sean Hardman".
He's not so "outstanding" now is he? He's out. Full stop.
JP...you are so needed...but a big part of me wants you to just throw the ball in and say "hook this"...but then...you are a bigger person than I. Literally.

HOOKER Jeremy Paul has phoned Wallaby coach John Connolly to let him know he has withdrawn his request for an immediate release from his ARU contract and is ready for a call-up to the World Cup squad if needed.

Carry on.
The 72-Test veteran made contact with Connolly last Friday before the South African Test at Telstra Stadium.
"Obviously it doesn't mean that John is going to choose me, I've just given him the option now my circumstances have changed," Paul revealed last night.
JP is being very polite. The Wallabies have no option.
He is now not due to start his contract with English club Gloucester until the start of November.
Hmmm...how uncanny. Please please quickly read the previous post to understand my
"I understand it will be difficult for the selectors to pick me because I haven't played any Australia A games," Paul said.

"It's in their hands.
"And the other guys are playing well so I don't know if they will need me - but if they do, well I am here."

Paul said there would be absolutely no bitterness if he was not picked when the squad is announced on Monday week.
"I've never had any issues with the ARU or John Connolly or any of the coaching staff," Paul said.

He may not have...but he's not the one with the ego problem is he?
He was the surprise omission from the 30-man Wallaby squad for the domestic Tests campaign after showing good form towards the end of the Super 14 with the Brumbies.
See? SEE?????
So far this season Australia have used Adam Freier, Stephen Moore and Stephen Moore in the No. 2 jumper in the first six internationals this year.

It's supposed to be "Sean Hardman".
The situation has become more complicated by the fact that outstanding young Waratahs forward Tatafu Polota-Nau has been sidelined with a knee injury suffered in an Australia A game.
He's not so "outstanding" now is he? He's out. Full stop.
And the experience of 30-year-old Paul, who made his Test debut against Scotland in 1998, cannot easily be discarded.
While Paul has only had a few club games in Canberra since the end of the Super 14, he has rarely been in better condition.
He has been training five days a week in preparation for his move to Gloucester, doing a lot of work with a friend who is a personal trainer.

Honestly, I don't know why they don't snap you up to write Rugby for them ... you could write Jon Geddes under the table.
Much love

Rugby World Cup 2007
I'm spending today catching up on Orble posts and have only managed to come up with one post of my own and even then it's a news piece.
I am such a sl-aaaaaaa-cker....
I do have a post in Rucks and Rolls explaining Rugby positions in my...usual....way...
Rugby Explained: The Forwards
I just wrote that explanation in response to a realisation...that people here do not refer to other blogs or blog moderators for information, which I find really odd...so much for community...
Ahhh sigh...thanks Cara...I could probably drink Jon Geddes under the table too!
Big hugs hon...
