I don’t think making the Roos is that prestigious. There’s two other consistently good nations and England is really a stretch to be always good. But state or origin seems pretty attractice Again. Just a dumb move antagonizing nrl about how you were going to raid them before you even had the...

Hopefully it is a benefactor but agree nevertheless (no surprise as you’re agreeing with me). I’d note that “staying in rugby” doesn’t necessarily equate to staying in the Australia set up these days. Do 2-4 years in super and get a France, English, Irish, Japanese contract and not only will we...

Relax It’s not a chirp I genuinely wasn’t aware as they maybe don’t do as good a job as making a big deal about their stars as qld and nsw do

Yes great by Waugh. The signing was a mistake Money not spent on youth where the real battle is. Inflates player expectations. Is JS actually going to get more excitement than Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) generates now? Jorgo in 3 years? Personally wouldn’t complain if JS said inwant out and they let him go. Take...

I genuinely don’t know the answer to this but does the ACT produce a lot of super players or wallabies? I think there’s been a few but curious how the area stacks up. I’d assume WA is the laggard of the 5. Melbourne seems to be doing well due to PI population.

and maybe have rebels signed up to full centralisation and be close on high performance with two others.

sounds like they are on board with high performance not the commercial component tho but i dont fully understand why that is overly necessary.

It is very much time to move beyond KB (Kurtley Beale) and QC (Quade Cooper). I can handle maybe he should’ve been included in the World Cup squad but yikes. Come 2024 neither should be near a gold jersey. Need an experienced 10? Pay giteau to attend the camps and the home games

This is definitely true. The domestic / nz comp helps having removed SA and arg travel there. After that you only travel globally for a month end of year and a couple trips in championship. That’s to go play the best in the world. On that basis I think the travel situation now is not too bad or...

I think he’s very good and he goes working off the ball which not all wingers do. I don’t think he’s worth north of $500k to a league team tho. But my point stands that Hamish should temper this against league rhetoric because they have more money and more teams than us and kicking the hornets...

I am starting to agree with this They need to turn super into home and away and get more games into players and bigger squads. If they can’t do that then overseas more of an option for players. Reality is I’m not convinced super is better than English league or top 14. It’s better than most of...

Is he really going to get more than $500 in league out the gates? He’s had 12 good months. Negotiating tactics I’d say. As said elsewhere - France would pay them more

What a truly great cluster fuck if in addition to the World Cup, our aggressive pursuit of league players results in us, now in a weaker position financially, losing our star players to league because we’ve pissed them off so much

all this being said, i think we need continuity to see out the plan at least for the next 18 months centralize, get a tv contract done etc then move hammer on.

sure but my point is - how can you look at what has occurred and say that in hindsight you'd do it again. completely agree that it went tits up with the squad selected but i also don't think we were improving that much to the point we were eclipsing rennies side so i think its comical self...

he says in hindsight, he'd fire rennie and hire eddie all over again. what a moronic comment.

sexton was awful after half time in the quarter final. Hamish saying not only does he have no regrets about hiring jones....but he'd do it all over again. what an extraordinarily ridiculous comment to make. how can you look at this dumpster fire and say you would make it again. it's absurd...

Eddie out saying he’s massively keen to coach japan and would love the chance

I have no evidence either way. I would like to see that his play has evolved or is dynamic tho. That’s what I’m saying. Agree re his personality. Eddie was an idiot. Cheika much better and a bit less of an issue there for me other than his end of contract issues with raelene etc
