Supposedly the applications for the DoR closed earlier this week, with Nick Stiles, Simon Raiwalui and Nick Ryan from Syd Uni considered strong candidates (per Doran in the Roar). No HC until the DoR is appointed. Grey supposed to be off to Japan after the U20s, per Doran and Payten. Chris...

But much of that additional ball-in-play time in NRL will be mindless bashing into a defensive line and then kicking down the centre of the field, followed by mindless bashing into a defensive line and then kicking down the centre of the field, followed by mindless bashing into a defensive line...

Maybe look beyond the Rebels and Tahs. Brumbies have been best practice at this for years, Reds not far behind. Sorry to be negative about your negativity.

Though to be honest - only by copying and pasting 5 random pages from the Where To For Super Rugby thread...

Kevin, how tolerant are Irish rugby fans of the system that favours Leinster? Is it accepted as long as the national team performs?

"You can spend 10 years developing a player and not get a single game out of them". What does that even mean?

It does say that News Ltd is continuing their bizarre vendetta against their ex. Mate, let it go.

Yes, when the Tahs had better crowds at the previous SFS, I tended to sit towards the front of the upper tier for that same reason.

Yes, my only complaint about Stan is that the Sport option is kept fairly separate on their app. Games never pop up as options on the "Home" tab, you need to scroll across to Sport before you see those.

Never discount the appeal of novelty - Super Rugby and the Wallabies had a big moment in the late 90s, early 2000s, BBL was massive then dwindled (but might be coming back), the A-League was initially big then fizzled, Western Sydney Wanderers looked like they might sell out an entire season at...

You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you...

Or maybe the Roar editorial team just told him to give it a break for a week. There's been enough gossip articles on this issue.

He trained with the AU 7s team whilst he was at school, they were impressed with his ability and physicality even at that age.

I'm getting keener on John Manenti. The 7s players that have come over to Super Rugby in the last couple of years have shown good basic skills, and he should be familiar with working within a larger program, managing assistants, etc. And a good history of team performance.

The blokes who are too fringe at 22-23 to be paid by the Tahs are the ones heading off to 2nd division French teams or the like. As BH says, it'd be great if we could pay all of them, but it's not going to happen.

The results weren't there, but you have to respect DC's approach to the whole thing. From his press conference this week, per the Roar: "I think it’s important to have a strong emotional connection to your job. "For me this is more than a job, it becomes all encompassing and sometimes...

DC has been that guy, the whinging from the Shute Shield gys has been reduced at least 5% whilst he's been coach. Gilmore doesn't need this shit sandwich at this point in his career, better for him to go overseas and learn more about club head coaching without the Sydney pressure. Unless he was...

I agree in theory, but in the bullshit realpolitik of Sydney rugby, someone with at least some connection to Shute Shield will get a smoother ride when the inevitable bumps in the road arrive.

Complex game, resetting the clock every few minutes.

The head coach is definitely not the biggest problem the Waratahs have. Yes, DC had to go after this season, but I hope this review and changes go much deeper than head coach and assistants.
