All part of the Eddie schtick, mate. He knows them.

Is Will Harrison's recent injury another ACL, or something else in his knee? Round 9 will be a big one for returning players.

I know Perese's been slow to return to form after injury, but are we forgetting what he brings? He's one of the best at making metres when given the ball in a bad position, and a real defensive presence.

First home game under Jones? Cheika v Jones? Only Wallabies test in Sydney this year? Great stadium? But yeah, it's deep in the western suburbs, so no-one will attend that.

We throw young players into Super Rugby too early too often. It's OK for young talent to debut later than 19. You're talking about assessing who we need to retain at the Tahs - I just don't think there's any point in throwing Bowen into a game or two this season for that purpose. Beside the...

Yeah, but we shouldn't be judging a 19 yo fly-half on their performance at Super Rugby level - it's a rare talent that can cope with Super Rugby at that age (Beale, Jorgensen). You're going to lose some good talent if you discard them because they're not Super Rugby level at 19.

It's a measure of the size of the Sua'ali'i story that it's creating articles into a second week - I fully expected that this would disappear this week, replaced by the latest OUTRAGE in Rugba League. But they're still talking about it. I'm not sure this is a great story for Australian rugby tho!

Enjoy it while it lasts. Next week there will be a new outrage for Gus to be exercised about.

Trent Robinson, Roosters coach, is making sensible comments about Sua'ali'i’s signing. Sensible comments. That bloke has no future in league media…

Meaning it was all negotiated by the CEO without talking to the board? Given the amounts involved, and the precedent it sets, I'm not surprised the board's asking questions.

RA board or Waratahs?

The spidercam and plyaer focus options for last year's Wallaby tests were good on Stan, as well. I don't get the frustration with their service, I've never had the problems with catch-up games that others have mentioned, and I do watch a few games on catch-up. The only issue I have is when I...

Well, I thought was cold when RA sacked Dave Rennie over a Zoom call, but we've clearly been outdone by NZR's treatment of Fozzie. From the Roar: He will replace disgruntled Ian Foster after the World Cup. In an awkward moment that sums up the hash NZ have made of the situation, NZR CEO Mark...

We don't know, but don't let that stop you being outraged by it.

At least World Rugby will now be more open to changes like the 20 min red card, or the TMO review of a yellow card whilst playing on. It had to wait until England suffered the consequences.

Excellent info, thanks Adam. I know the AFL can afford it, but the Giants and the Suns are an absolute money hole - almost $55 million between the two of them...basically each is the equivalent of the 5 Super clubs. Unbelievable.

Latu doesn't need time in the A team, and he wasn't on the injured list at the Super team announcement. Am I wrong to be nervous?

A real headache for DC. Harrison was good, might well have the highest ceiling, but both Edmed and Donaldson have benefited from another year of experience compared to Harrison. Not sure we can assume he'll be a step up immediately upon his return. I'm on Team Edmed - he just seems to keep the...

Huh. I got a very similar letter.

But if there's no chip on the shoulder after being overlooked by the Tahs, what even is a Brumby?
