Does he even have a League background? What position would you play him in? If it's not a player agent planting a story, it sounds like horse guy doing some ol' fashioned shit stirring.

I get that. I've been to Adelaide to watch a test match and had an awesome. Will go back again soon.

[cough] Melbourne would like a word, mate...

Err...Sione is a proud Southern Pirates man. Wish I could claim him as Quins man. I have no doubt that all efforts will be made to get him down to Frankston and to St Kevins for some promo and training work. Sione very generous with his time with the school.

Also in the news: BRC Capital wound up, Paul D taking a decent hit...

Finally, we have a court date! In 2026. Some notes from the Case Management hearing (7/5/25) and my brief observations - Proceedings listed for a hearing on 18 May 2026 for a duration of 15 days. Over a year to wait for court. - MRRU seeking affidavits from Nick Stiles and Jerrhyd Hipolito...

Only downside from NZ's game was the scrum. Few times it was on skates. Don't know if that poor setting, or just a much better Argie pack?

Don't know about Toby. Tracey boys both have NZ parents but have lived here most (if not all) their life, up unto 2023 (for Xavier). Another one is playing for US sevens team and I'm fairly sure he was born over in the US.

NZ team is another example of a player who slipped the Australia system. Xavier Tracey played both Club and School Rugby in Melbourne up until 2023. Another graduate of the Harlequins / St Kevins College system. Moved to Christchurch to develop his game. Made his senior club debut in 2024, the...

This includes calculation methods for entitlements and obligations and invoices from players. IIRC the sharing...

Yep, I fell for it too.

5 year deal, $1.4mil a season. What the actual fuck?

Here's an article with more context: https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/news/top-ranked-a-league-club-western-united-hits-financial-turbulence-1364615/ One glaring difference between Western United and the Rebels - relative competition success. WU currently sit 2nd on the A-League ladder.

Great to see two Vic boys, and another TWO Harlequins juniors in the team - Dante Siale and Wyatt Ballenger. Wyatt played in NSW last year, but was always a terror in schoolboys when I saw him play. Dante finished school in 2024 and moved up to the Pirates with a few other Quins boys. SOLID...
