It’s also 2024 .. There’s Nothing stopping the leaguies finishing up their careers in Paris either

He’s hardly unproven …

I’ve been ranting about this issue for years ! .. barrett another joeys product who is naturally a backrower gets put into the sjc front rower to offer up more of a speed advantage at the breakdown. Classic joeys move, been doing it for decades …. Because at schoolboy level you cant push more...

But that would take vision and risk .. we’re taking about rugby union here .

Classic Australian rugby move .. obsessed with reputation over merit … been happening for decades, nothings changed .

Can only speak on my area .. and it’s sad to see rugby posts changed to soccer .. and league being the only form of rugby left .

That’s literally the definition of RA being @ fault. They have neglected the growth and innovation of the game for decades. Now all that’s left is the traditional roots eg schoolboy .

Yep.. I was referring to the previous generation and the opportunity RA squandered

R fault for not retaining talent … western Sydney was ripe for the picking for the last 15 /20 years .. especially the pacific island community who culturally would be more familiar with union than league … but we dropped the ball massively

Oh absolutely

They’re so predictable is bordering on parody

Haha so true .. the commentators were very reluctant in praising them today and I pretty sure Sua'ali'i was penalised at one point just for got to union lol :)

I honestly think Americans would prefer rugby to league if prompted correctly .. 1) They are already used to breaks in play to set up set moves.. eg lineouts would be a spectacle 2)scrums and mauls are similar concepts to line of scrimmage in nfl - they would respect jobs / tactics of props...

His son went to joeys… they want league in the GPS system … think filter has a son @ Scot’s … funny how they knock rugby but their sons end up playing it …

That’s not entirely true

US doesn’t give a damn about Australian sport.. if anything this might make MLR more lucrative amd 4 for sport betting

They think they’re taking over America atm … oh dear lol

Who cares .. it’s all about making $ at the end of the day …
