Re-injury last week. For them to not consider him for selection, you'd assume it's not a minor setback of a couple of weeks. You have to feel for him.

Gutting for Wright - only 26, but it's been long-term injury after long-term injury after long-term injury...

Realistically, he won't be getting into the weeds of the dark arts of rucking as a back at pro level either. He'll be fine. Anyway, he can't be worse than Vunivalu.

He had several years of union under his belt before playing league - I'm sure a quick crash course in changes since he left school will be all that's needed. In saying that, as we know, the brain and muscle memory work in funny ways, so it's entirely reasonable if there are a couple of brain...

Let's pick McReight at 12 then

If the rest of their skillset is lesser than the alternatives, you aren't choosing a 12 because they can jackle - as Adam said, it's a nice to have and a point of distinction amongst similarly-rated peers

Grass stains and bright hearts, Queensland's glory on the rise, Super crown secured.

I'm fairly certain the only recent mention of Quade I've seen is your post referencing Nic Bishop (who I personally haven't personally seen mention Quade in a fair while, but I might've missed it). Who else is calling for Quade, particularly on here?

"Raise your hands if you'd rather play here than in Daceyville!"

Jesus christ, that might be the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen. POV: You're travelling southbound on the Hume and see this young family heading north

I would be incredibly surprised, and it would also require release from Kintetsu at the back end of their preseason (first match 21/12). I suspect that if Joe was in any way, shape, or form wanting to have a look at Quade, it would've already happened.

Genuine delusion. A long time coming, but I'm outta here.

Hang on Slim, are you providing evidence to suggest that the Rebels have, in fact, been provided with significant and longstanding financial support and concessions, over and above the other Super teams? Well I'll be damned...

Agreed, but even still, I'd say it's pretty likely a few rugby journos might be getting a couple of exclusives from anonymous sources airing the other party's dirty laundry.

Sigh... Yet again, no. I'm sure the exact conduct will come out in the wash, but it could be anything relating to how the MRRU presented their business plan, cash flow, financial records, debts and loans, etc.

Incorrect again - they are not claiming they were insolvent an additional 6mo, RA are claiming the MRRU were misleading and deceptive regarding their ability to remain solvent.

No - the stated grounds pertain to misleading and deceptive conduct, without which RA would not have granted MRRU the license and, therefore, never have paid them the stated amount of ~$35m.

It isn't a coincidence that 01/07/18 is the start of the first new financial year since the Rebels Directors were given the keys. It makes the approximations a tad easier. As per RA's statement, the implication is that MRRU was deceptive from inception, not that they were insolvent from 01/07.
