The circus continues

Not really sure why a barely-there frontrower would be involved in any pact between two of the playmakers regarding how they want the team to play around the park. Seems a huge stretch at best.

Yeah, nah. There's no "narrative" and the only thing more ridiculous than the decision itself was the manner and timeframe in which it was carried out. The most positive outcome to this scenario is that we go into the season with paper-thin depth across the entire back line. One guy going down...

I mean, there’s good design, palatable design, and then there’s the Sunwolves Jersey..

My god That actually has to be a contender for all-time worst jersey

At least they can offshore some of the blame to political interference.. us on the other hand.. =/

Nah it's all good bruv Kerevi's dog is going to come onto the bench as inside backs cover because that's about all we'll be able to afford after this bloody fucking brilliant stroke of business genius

Yes, but we have no appreciable depth at 10 right now and won't likely have the funds to make a big name signing + pay Quade.. and the # of guys who aren't locked in right now is very small this close to the season. It is just so fundamentally and unbelievably daft to not at least get through...

You're saying that like the QRU didn't just run the risk QC (Quade Cooper) tells them he's playing for Souths and collects his $800k with absolutely no realized upside whatsoever. At best he gets signed for another foreign club at a lower rate (doubt many will bite too hard after his Toulon stint and how that...

PLEASE A KAOP meltdown is the only thing that could make this palatable at the moment I don't want to be a fair-weather fan but Thorny may have lost me with this one. QC (Quade Cooper) was the main reason I started supporting this franchise in the first place - I understand nobody can play forever and QC (Quade Cooper) has...

It’s the same injury that Horwill never looked the same after :/

But can Thorn ever find it in his heart to forgive Quade for his egregious assault on Sir Ruchie?

Honestly if our guys were defending like Farrell/Sexton there wouldn't even be a discussion to have, they're the world standard in the current game for defending that channel. They'll fall off the occassional tackle when they go low and the guy skips out of the tackle and frees their ankles, but...

He's the same size as Owen Farrell. There's about half an inch and maybe 3-4kg between them at most. Sexton is regularly lauded for putting his body on the line in attack and defense. Have watched the guy stop the George Norths of World Rugby dead in their tracks enough times to know that this...

Sexton is anything but a weak defender.

Was TT in charge of defense at the Rebels or did they have a specialist coach?

Probably because Deans was a "foreigner" and there's some sort of fetish in too many rugby circles regarding the nationality of the Wallaby head coach. As if there's some magical thing about being born on a rock in the middle of the Pacific that means only you can relate to other men born on the...

Is Link/Di the new Quade/Hitler?

Have any of the people annointing CLL as a solution to our problems at 10 been watching him for Ulster? He still looks like a 12/15 playing 10, which he always has. His kicking out of hand isn't any better than Foley's for the most part and he has the same distance issues. Although he's still a...

The whole season where we ran into the same attitude issues, leaky defense, and terrible discipline over and over again? Look at our record from the last EOYT through this one. It’s not good. One point from 0-3 to Scotland, 1-2 in reality. Loss to ireland 2 losses to England Couldn’t put...
