He only had the one ban for a high tackle in League didn't he? I think he'll adjust fine.

Probably won't see a great deal of improvement in defence unless they change the system they are playing to.

Super Rugby has been dying with protectionist policies in place just fine.

Its been inevitable for a decade.

You can just treat him exactly as he is. An experienced coach in charge of a very bad team.

Is there anything to like about French rugby except, maybe, begrudingly, Dupont?

England are in a weird spot where they are clearly better than teams like ourselves, Wales or Italy but are not quite at the level of the top 4. I'd say England and Scotland are on a very similar level and both would be strong favourites to beat us as the home sides.

Definitely not a core skill but increasingly a skill many of the top centres have.

I don't really watch it so can't comment except that some pretty middling players from Aus/NZ still go over and seem to excel which implies its not quite at the same level. Even just in that video you linked above the defense was pretty shameful. I've no doubt the Waratah's would push for a...

Dismal's kingdom:

I've made thousands of posts on this forum about steps that could be taken to improve rugby. But RA have just kept doing the same things. Dunno what else you want from me, really. Some banal positive bullshit that completely ignores all evidence or reality?

I mean - I'm not making an excuse? I am not a Wallaby nor am I directly involved in any of this. I'm literally just pointing out that they are terrible at rugby. Both Noah and Donaldson are very poor test level flyhalves. You can blame my loser mentality if you want but.... seems pretty fucked...

I guess so. It's the reality though. Look at our performances and results?

100% what I am saying. Until we fix the underlying issues picking shit player (a) or (b) won't change anything. And we will never fix the underlying issues as becomes more apparent by the day.

Bro if you think rotating in Donaldson will make us not suck you are genuinely fucked in the head.

We have quite a few decent wingers and we do not have quite a few decent halves/centres. It's not the coaches that are inconsistent its the garbage players. Our players are garbage. Noah is pretty garbage and Donaldson is also pretty garbage. How is that so hard to understand?

Your faith in the law is admirable.

Isn't it the case that the deal is being funded externally - as with Folau and Pocock etc?

In this case I don't see the point of a settlement unless it's to assist the directors to pay out/avoid their obligations to the ATO. If the Rebels board were serious about their desire to reinstate the Rebels a settlement would not achieve this goal. Bad operators acting desperately to the...

I don't really get the relevance of this. So RA thought they were about to sign a PE deal which would help smooth things over. That's not grounds upon which to continue trading insolvent.
