That's Rugby. Don't be surprised if Ottavio finds ends up on an academy deal staying in Sione's spare room.

Looks like Talataina didn't get up to full fitness.

I reckon this time they'll "put money into grassroots" (primarily going to the premier competitions) without any conditions attached re: high performance restructuring.

Very much the Shamatuerism of the 80s then. Always interesting to hear about in retrospect. Wow, the star player joining us this season has a job lined up with the clubs major sponsor that has indeterminate duties and work hours? Nothing shady about that!

An MLB season involves 162 regular season games across 186 days before playoffs even start, and First Team payrolls that can be in excess of $200 million USD. Discipline is discipline, but when a chunk of your main squad will be on minimum salary and the WTS could likely earn more driving...

All but 3 or 4 of the contracted group seem to know/have made the decision on where they're going. The uncontracted group seems to have very little idea.

Nothing official but the deal is pretty much done.

Raise a pint for the team tonight lads and ladettes. It's taken years off my life following this team but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Might be goodbye forever for Rebels, but we can't let it be goodbye forever for Melbourne.

Congratulations on Canham btw, I hope this afternoon has demonstrated you guys have a really really good one on your hands.

There is a whole fucking hour between the end of this game and the start of the next one. Talk about the game that's on in front of you right now and save this Reds and Brumbies shit for the dead air.

If all goes how expected I don't know how much I'll be on here folks. It's been a pleasure.

7 of 14 are front rowers :p Was surprised to see Inagaki on the list for myself: did he have a lot of named on bench didn't get on the fields? Eddie Aholelei is the one that stands out to me from that list: he seemed to be one of those culture setters around the club those first 3 or 4...

Nevermind guys, I figured out what the point of the article yesterday was: Edit: Not unlocked but blazers wanting Super money to clubs. https://www.codesports.com.au/rugby-union/super-rugbys-struggle-brings-national-club-competition-back-on-agenda/news-story/1a8f711d986529b667be266c3b161a85

I'm not defending McGahan's tenure as a whole, I didn't particularly want him either and felt he misused many talented players and accelerated a decline in interest in the game. I just don't think it was necessarily wrong for the extension to take place after '15 as it looked like things were...

No I get it. 14 to 15 was a substantial improvement after the major adjustment in playstyle after Hill, and I think an extension was justified. '16 had major warning signs with that -121 PD despite a 7-8 record though. I don't recall if he'd gotten 2 years or just the single, but if it was the...

to be a fly on the wall...

Stirzaker vs Meehan seemed to be doomed on two factors. Totalitarian Tony and Bip obviously just didn't get along at all in how they wanted the game to be played. And the backroom obviously loved Stirzaker's image as captain from all the right sort of pathways and connections to schmooze, as...

Is it just me or does that article say literally nothing. Edit: perhaps harsh. Places like Portugal are doing nothing the Italians weren't doing pre-entry into the pro12 and are somewhat still doing in the leagues below. Schoolboy pathways are chock a block with leaguies. There's more money in...
