Attack? Dan Parks? Somebodies wires are crossed.

What does this mean? And specifically, not some wishy washy nonsense about development time put in or the draw of a BILs tour. He's probably leapfrogged Marika as the Wallabies best winger. He's definitely established himself as being one of the Waratahs top 2 players. There's no possibility...

Fam there will be almost no non-tight five player in Rugby Union that achieves state level selection that won't receive some sort of League offer. It's ok to be disappointed, but this descent into hyperbole is not becoming of a rational individual not blindingly drunk or under 15.

I didn't realise it was 1913 and not 2013

Great to have some local trials. Fingers crossed that when the State Center of Excellence occurs out La Trobe way we get a few over there.

It may have changed post COVID but my understanding was that France had broad reaching tax exemptions for individuals not previously tax residents that allowed them to pay a flat tax rate of ~30% on all earnings instead of the standard income tax bands, such that companies (and sports teams)...

What's with people still selecting Philip. Y'all know he's off to Japan right?

Is there an exploitable unemployed population he can claim thousands of dollars a year for a payment card on?

Isn't that the point? 21, 22 teams before you even consider adding additional regional rep sides is far too many so you let some off themselves through either voluntary withdrawal (a la the London Scottish originally transferring their professional arms to London Irish back in the 90s), through...

I'm at the point where I'm keen to see a club comp in action and having a few of them die off through hubris. A good time will be had by all.

tl;dr Ben Healy + BK = No opportunity for gametime at Edinburgh for Charlie: at 23 with little injury history and 30-odd caps it's make or break time, particularly when he's that far back in the international pecking order. It's not over, but he needs to show more by the end of the season if he...

I hope the SRU and to a lesser extent QRU are ready to let big boys die.

As to my understanding, the "organic" competitions of the NSWRL and VFL had clubs only running Seniors, Reserves and U21s at the time of moving to become "National" competitions. Worth considering.

idk his DOB, but he was playing for the U18s in '22 so I presume so.

In the absence of an experienced out and out stand off, I think JOC (James O'Connor) needs to play alongside a youngster. Of the other 5 outside backs, I think Flook, Paisami and Petaia and significantly ahead of Vunivalu and Campbell, and under the assumption that at Super level Petaia should be playing...

I'm not saying throw the baby out with the bathwater and just take a hacksaw to the SRU in the next 18 months, but moreso, that if you set up a transition correctly, you retain a sincere connection between high performance and community rugby, such that you're still one club but with multiple...

I must admit I don't see the purpose in 3rds & 4ths or 2nd & 3rd Colts. Not that they shouldn't exist mind you. Just... at some point it's just social rugby. You're not playing for the beer money, or the hope of going pro, or to test yourself against the best you can. You're playing the game...

Campbell.

I would hope it would be tbh. Unless you have a Leinster situation, starter quality players in positions of strength should be shoved around. There's no point in the Rebels having Tupou, Pone, Talakai and the 15 months from eligible Eloff all capable of starting at Super level at Tighthead when...
