This is Robert Craddock's (News Ltd) take on it: R360 has not even seen a ball kicked in anger and already we know the big winners … the players who say no to joining it. Most will get a pay rise they never expected. All will have their reputations slightly enhanced. None will be branded...

I don’t think he’s discarding anything. He’s worked through the best the super rugby franchises have to offer in what seems to have been some sort of strategic/systematic order and now we either have to go to the guys who are second in line, the age group stars, or buy Cameron Munster. EDIT: or...

One thing that I don't has been mentioned, from the 8 countries that have taken this stance the inference is that it's the 6 Nations and Rugby Championship countries, and the further inference is that Argentina and Wales did not want to take the same stance.

I know this is a simplistic approach, but using the 80:20 rule, and assuming they are only looking at the top 30 rugby nations, 80% of the players will be coming from the top 6 nations. However....because of our league players we would be included in the top 6 at the expense of Argentina. So...

I’m wrapped it looks likely Carter will be coming back and he must tour if available . But, I’m also not sure he’s the answer - just like Noah, Tom, JOC (James O'Connor), Donno, Tane and Kurtley aren’t. Being selected by Eddie doesn’t make him a walk up starter, granted he had a good super season to earn that...

He went to newington and started out with the Tahs if that helps.

I don’t think we can afford not to do it, otherwise we’ll risk not getting out of the pool stages again, we need to at least make the semis for this one. There is a strong possibility of third party involvement I would wager.

I posted when it was announced he was coming back that if his goal was to make the wallabies for the World Cup he would need to sign with a super rugby side, it’s the only way he could play enough rugby leading into it

If we are going to do this who would be your top 3 candidates GOR et al?

I think we have to be TBH. We win this World Cup the return on the investment will be phenomenal

Cameron Munster eh. It feels like RA have conceded that the only way we are going to have the requisite world class #10 for RWC27 is to buy one. I’m not opposed to the concept for this cycle, is he the right one though?

Racing NSW is up the shit financially, he's been using industry funds to pay the prizemoney for his 'novelty races', hence why he is trying to force the ATC into administration so that he can appoint a new board to approve the sale of Rosehill which in turn means the ATC has to repay an interest...

It’s a bit poor there wasn’t even a match thread for the final, but I guess everyone was a bit deflated after last night. I tuned in to watch, it was a bloody entertaining game to watch actually. Lots of errors but lots of enterprise as well. The Tahs prevailed of course, just send the 2026...

It’s actually to provide entertainment and sell bums on seats, media deals and sponsorships. But yes every team strives to be the best at their sport, that’s just not us right now. And I’d add the professional element is mostly at the tier below, these are the representative teams selected...

I didn’t say they weren’t fit, it was the end of a rigorous campaign and there were plenty of battered bodies out there, not to mention a few important ones that weren’t. Marky has a different brief in jail rugby but those physical attributes will be welcomed when he returns, we will see if he...
