did the rebels claim the scomo covid jobseeker payments out of curiosity. I’m sure it would of helped but covid messed up a lot of businesses and it does truely suck if RA wasn’t there to assist with this spanner in works

Probably can point back to the rebels demise the moment the South Africans dropped out of super rugby and foxsports wanting nothing to do with our super rugby anymore. newscorp have always been hands on approach with the leagues they support. They propped up broncos and storm and back in the...

The idea RA knew nothing is laughable. If the reds were telling New Star players they couldn’t afford them yet RA was working behind the scenes with the rebels and Piccone to make sure players of national importance still had a home in the super rugby landscape.

“little birdy” “My mail” ….. “Phil said”

The backrow is so legit at reds Fraser, Liam and Harry as your starters Bryant backrow utility Uru backrow/second row utility think Uru is going back to a bench role… we’ve upgraded our lock stocks but there’s most likely going to be a wallaby backrow/2nd row option not in the Matchday 23...

The tight knit rebels were basically coerced to join the shittiest team in Australia. Melbourne is a way better destination to live than Sydney. The rebels have never had issues selling the dream to live in Australia sporting capital of australia I really hope someway, somehow we get this...

There was a proposal that RA knocked back. Share a new venue with a ALeague club. I also think a lot of those 1 year contracted players elsewhere would jump at opportunity to return to Melbourne (should they get reborn)

This lawsuit might be the reform that needs to happen. Has anyone thought about how centralisation will impact expansion. If RA has X amount of revenue coming in to support 4 teams… how do you think the other franchises will feel/vote should a 5th team enter the fray and now super franchises...

broke? Some other factors to consider is the offseason rennovation with clubhouse and changing rooms..

i just spied John Bryant on the reds socials You’d think his well invested in reds plans for 2025. Otherwise a player of his calibre would probably already be on a jet overseas like the players who have already said good bye

I think Bryant is absolutely a target to be poached - I hope he stays but…. Liam Wright + Harry Wilson injury/Fraser McReight suspension opened the door for John Bryant getting a bunch of starts last year and the fact you can play him in all 3 backrow positions means I think he’d have a bit of...

there’s chatter over on the qpr 2025 thread about a max exodus of players from Souths.(no names mentioned) obviously just offseason rumours - but wouldn’t be surprised if these 2 highly touted players may have been poached O/S

Will Petaia play? I saw in the reds video that he was training but unsure of his rehab schedule then the fact he’s also got his nfl tryout in January so may not want to jeopardise

we actually have a talent pool problem in this country Wilson. It’s unfortunately associated with playing second fiddle to NRL. it’s going to be a 1 way traffic in coming season of Union players going to league with the introduction of 3 new teams while our super rugby contracts. I’ve proposed...

I am also keen to invite 18 year old projects in a squad that size.. the Australia A isn’t just about development it’s also about scouting. I would never consider my proposition for the wallabies jersey because it would be a huge slap in the face for all the blood sweat and tears the super...

This could be a controversial strategy & I’m not saying it’s the right thing but maybe worth considering (caveat is Australia A and not wallabies jersey to still show some honour and earning of the green and gold wallabies jersey) RA should use these extended team list of 64 player squads to...

Reds are going in January had me thinking after Aus A commitments if any of the reds players have the appetite to do some offseason backpacking around Europe during Xmas/NYE and just wait for their reds team to arrive

this is my thinking too. probably cheaper than the NRC model to develop the guys who are not the 23 regulars getting wallabies minutes

I’m going to support all the rebels players at their new clubs except the ones who went to the Waratahs. I’m sorry - love me some Angelo and dobbins but I can’t support Lucifers rugby team

It’s going to be tough tapping into the community dollars from gate attendance. up in QLD - brothers rugby is only the real venue that’s fully encloses and you can have entry points to charge for admission. National rugby championship fixtures might need to be played at Ballymore or suburban...
