Aussie Player Exodus

[Sword of Justice]

There's already one REA on the GC with blonde hair and a barge arse;

Exactly where my mind went also

 

[Derpus]

Carter Gordon has a 2 year deal but with an option on the 2nd for a release. Hasn’t been a great year with injuries for him but would be interested to know if RA is chatting to him.

Also Roosters in chats either Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase) about extension and upgrade of his current contract to go beyond next year.

I reckon Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) is gone for good.

I reckon he’ll do some origins if he can make it and then France or Japan will offer him a lot. On the Wing in Loig it’s gonna be tough for him to beat what’s already being mooted whereas he’s already known in Rugby to be able to play all field which will unlock way more.

Good NRL units make good $$$ these days

You could argue that the move to the Gold Coast Titans was merely the stepping stone to being a Gold Coast real estate agent.

Well the F45 thing has died off. They’ve all gone and got new loans for Hyrox gyms. Hopefully they sell up in the next year before that falls on its ass too.

Neil Fissler has Tupou needing to take a paycut if he moves abroad lol.

Fissler Confidential: The latest England international to snub Leicester Tigers

Wales and Lions No.8 Taulupe Faletau, who is out of contract at the end of the month, is in advanced talks about staying in the Welsh...

And JO'C hasn't received any offers from Aus sides. Which is stupid. If he's good enough to be in the Wallaby camp he's good enough to even receive a lowball.

RA should offer TT something now that his value has dropped. He's still very important to the Wallabies. Give him a contract with plenty of incentives.

O’Connor, who turns 35 in July

 

[Strewthcobber]

Crusaders only signed JOC (James O'Connor) in October 2024

That's probably what he will get these days, an offer from a club after the have recruited every other position in the roater

Sounds like that's exactly what's happening, and his management is holding out for something better.

it comes as no surprise that his talks with Rugby Australia appear to have stalled.

 

[Derpus]

His manager must groan every time the bloke takes to the field.

I actually do think he's been playing better lately. But man, that karate slide...

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Last 3 weeks have been an improvement of around the field effort.

The trip was laughable. You see when most trips happen its deliberate but a pure split second reaction like players catching the ball offside then they drop it and hands up. But that slide tackle was absurd. I think coaches can only go up to him and say "what the fuck was that?" and hope he has the silent guilt and not make an excuse.

 

[Dctarget]

The (centre) Harry Wilson is leaving his Dragons contract a year early due to mutual agreement.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

With one less side in Aus I find it hard to see where he could land. He's decent but not form turning for a side.

Brums could probably use a depth pickup at Centre as Sapsford is limited there but also have some good kids in the system like Jarrah McLeod.

Force love a former Tah and could probably also use a depth Centre who is an Aussie and might be more likely to stick around a few years.

Could he not return to the Tahs if Foketi moves on?

Not a bad idea but IMO he's not better than O'Donnell who has shown a lot more upside than some errors this season.

Depth is important though. If Edmed and Foketi move on there is an area to fill.

Is he a bigger frame than Walton? Tahs could do with a big bodied midfielder to complement Walton or O'Donnell.

Sapsford been playing really well this season, pleasantly surprised, his been busting tackles and tracking it up really well. playing his size for once.

He has been good. I see him as a powerful Winger though. Don't ask him to do too much and just punch holes.

Don't think he offers a better skill set than Walton who at the start of the year low on the list but has probably had his best year.

As well as McLeod, the Brumbies have Hudson Creighton, Austin Anderson and Kadin Pritchard already signed. McLeod and Pritchard are both very young and more for the future, but I don't think anyone here would rate Wilson as being better than any of Sapsford, Creighton or Anderson.
