Move the team to tarneit so that the state government might invest more in the venue to get it to a level below AAMI park. Sounds like that ownership team was on the case!

If we clear $115M from this tour and are in a position of net cash on hand in the $50M range, that’s pretty bloody good. Do we have a sense if the women’s World Cup generates positive cash flow typically? Hopefully some full crowds at home tests. Rugby Nations cup starting soon will spin money...

That’s a massive surprise no?

Has he even played?

You disagree that if we’d had a fully fit Valetini, Skelton and AAA in test 2 we’d have won? Or more warm up games we’d have been sharper in test 1?

Joes success should end eddies coaching career

Fairly comfortable in saying that with another warm up game and Valetini and Skelton fully fit we win the series.

Italy x2 fits in that comp. I don’t think they care about SA if the current comp is a pathway to bankruptcy. 4 x ireland 2x Scotland, wales and Italy and probably 8 realistically from England as based off the above - it ain’t sustainable.

It isnt I think it is inevitable that we see prem merge with whatever they call Celtic league this year with a roughly 18-20 team competition.

Do we have Stan numbers from first test?

6-2 want the issue Tate did a good job. Donaldson should’ve gone in at 65-70 and would’ve kicked that ball into touch with fresh legs and could’ve just pelted the ball down field. I think we needed LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and maybe TT and again, they needed to make these subs ex AAA and BV later. Skelton had...

Yes upon watching replays I kind of agree. Timing wise he might not have been able to adjust to not hit head/neck but he flies in off his feet, doesn’t support himself at all and I think the second guy does as well. Yes in other rucks guys end up off their feet but when they just dive into ruck...

Ya some bad decisions crept in. Tired. Some young players out there realistically. I’m feeling positive for RC and 2027. We need some monsters back / kept tho as presumably Skelton not around in 2027. For guys like Harry Wilson who didn’t bust the gain line much, the delta to me between him and...

I’m 100% still going Yea dissapointing but a great game of tier 1 rugby is still fantastic.

I think I said we need a better 10 in general
