The Ghost of Raelene
John Eales (66)
That's one I feel we won't see again. Into the Jack Maddocks pile of being effective overseas and keep getting contracts.
What an absolute wasteDarby Lancaster off too Newcastle Red Bull… that’s such a disappointing outcome for him and Australian rugby, he had a great year last year and showed enormous potential in 7s system as well..
I wouldn't stress, he's 22. I heard he loved surfing, so he'll find none of that in Newcastle and probably want to come back to our beaches. I hope he gets some development in the meantime.That's one I feel we won't see again. Into the Jack Maddocks pile of being effective overseas and keep getting contracts.
Or not:Darby Lancaster off too Newcastle Red Bull… that’s such a disappointing outcome for him and Australian rugby, he had a great year last year and showed enormous potential in 7s system as well..
who was reporting he has signed with Newcastle?
Gives them a chance to try Leahy in the midfield too.This seemed to make sense from the start. He's a improve on guys like Poolman and potentially lets the Force have Kuenzle as some Centre depth.
Yew!Or not:
Force swoop in and sign Lancaster
Petaia to Perpignan?
