Jones not taking the field this year combined with props that need extra weight behind them does make you regret losing LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

Did we ask the Sua'ali'i funder if he felt like chipping in a few extra bucks to pay out the contract for 24? Would be nice to have him a year earlier, there's a loooooot of rugby (both union and league) between now and the first game in 2025. Hopefully no catastrophic injuries.

I think Wilson's biggest problem is, the Reds don't have another ball carrier. Meaning it's easy for the opposition to double mark him essentially shutting him down. If the Reds had options it'd create doubt in the defensive line which could allow more opportunity for Wilson to break the line.

Hahah you're having a laugh yeah? Of the top of my head the Rebels in recent years have had exemptions to the salary cap, been the beneficiaries of the Western Force's demise, have a squad that has a number of ineligible players for the Wallabies and still sends their squad to Queensland to...

Yeah, the Reds would look completely different having Hopert, Tupou, Blyth and Jones in the starting 5. It'd give us better impact off the bench with Uru, Zane and maybe Peni coming in with fresh legs.

We need to be careful what we wish for. We already know Foster will be looking for a new job.

If the Victorians aren't going to turn up, can we move the Rebels to Western Brisbane? Surely the 3/4 of their team with Queensland roots would appreciate it.

If it helps, Im in a similar boat, but, once I get in front of the TV, I just pick the start stream from beginning and fast forward to the 25-35t minute mark. That generally gets me to the tail end of the pre-game stuff or kick off.

Why are we even considering bastarding Super Rugby? Put some other competition on during the July test matches but ruining super rugby for over a month is ridiculous.

Premiership and Club Rugby......

Bit of a semantic argument no? A waste of money in Australian Rugby is still a waste. That money could be better spent on retaining those "fringe" players like Tuipulotu, but, instead it's being used on geriatrics.

Unsure why there's so much hate for Vunivalu being re-signed. There's more money being wasted on Nadolo (who isn't Wallaby eligible) and Kurtley Beale than Vunivalu.

Listening to Eddies latest podcast has made me nervous. Whilst in the UK he picked close to the worst organisation to pop into; Everton. A team that has been poorly manageed by both owner and coaches for over a decade and is a bees dick of being relegated. A better choice if he wanted to see...

I dunno Phil, I bought beers for my old man and I yesterday. 4 Golds and a tray was $39 and some change. There's absolutely no way I could afford those prices as a Uni student and considering a slab of golds which is brewed across the road is $50, Suncorp/the Government aren't doing punters any...

Pete Samu plays the same game as Higgers did. Based on comments he's made post retiring, it sounded like Chieka kept changing what he wanted Higgers to do before picking him. So it's not unsurprising that he has little impact on the international game. Human Specimens in Mark Chisholm and...

Speaking of injuries. Does anyone know where Gina the physio is off to? A couple of the players have photos thanking her, so it looks like she's off. Hopefully we've got a replacement lined up?

Spare a thought for Rusty. I saw him in the crowd, would have been horrible in the suit today. Scary thing is, the Broncos and Dolphins game on Friday is close to a sell out.

To be fair, December and January in Brisbane were Arctic in comparison to what it would have been in Fiji!!

Unsure what was more painful, that westerly sun in the east stand or the officiating. Couldn't make heads or tails of how that ruck was going to go. I'm still miffed out how Flipio got pinged for tackling a player in the air.

Simplest solution would be for world rugby to remove the grandparents qualification route. You either have to be born there, parents were born there or you're now a resident of that country. Keep agents as far away as you can from whatever solution otherwise you'll end up like football were...
