Only thing NZ has an upper hand on Australia in food department is butter and chocolate (Whitakers)

I think the QRU if expanding QPR would focus on growth corridors… in terms of promoting a suburban rugby club Wynnum makes sense because they’ve had success in their comps and there’s been some handy talent come thru their colts but Wynnum isn’t a growth corridor. Granted their nearest club is...

Far out I hate the Waratahs! lets put a scoreline on these flowering fools where they spend the whole offseason reflecting on why those northern rednecks embarrassed them at home

Is the cost of living that much different Oz to NZ? when I’ve holidayed there always found it to be more expensive (granted I could be in tourist traps & I’ve never had to pay rent or utilities)

. Same issue kiwi franchises face .. grass is greener elsewhere (French & Japanese club raids) Think the Aussie clubs have benefit over kiwi clubs for ABs is lifestyle. Trans Tasman immigration is one way & there’d be some kiwis dying to come enjoy this superior lifestyle

wanted to loop back to this post and mentioned Friday night 6th grade aSouths had Chris Feauai-Sautia named for them this past weekend.

so is today the Waratahs mad Monday #eliminated

yep that was probably the case however there was a press release (as I recall) talking about their promotion the upcoming year.

Queensland rugby would have left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouth with any promotion/relegation when it comes to the days Logan was playing reserve grade. unsure what transpired behind the scenes but there’s bridges needed to be repaired because of statements made about promotion

If we are really going to be losing another team or 2 in near future - I say Blow it up Let our marquee players walk and scrap our eligibility laws Reinvent a national rugby comp for u23s, link it to university to provide pathways for players (post rugby) & then just keep Queensland and New...

he bought RM williams the clothing brand. Now I’m no rocket scientist but there’s some synergy with private schools/regional folk and this iconic Aussie fashion brand.

Nearly all clubs can field a fifth grade team - it’s a bit disingenuous to say every 2nd weekend fifth graders are having bye weeks. Sorry just looked at table and realized there’s No Bond or norths. Still there’s 7 teams. can’t we bring back Redlands/Logan ti support the coast/norths teams...

that’s a bit extreme Sully Why they going behind bars? If you can’t pay your taxes - most ppl go bankrupt they don’t go to prison.

of course Norths can be successful. Wests rugby is of similair proximity to powerhouse UQ (what brothers is to norths) & wests has found success. I don’t think Norths issues are geographic related.

i’m sure RA has input into the scheduling. I think the rebels Friday night games might be due to the Brisbane broncos Friday night dominance of nrl scheduling which then pushes reds to mostly Saturday night fixtures and even the storm being bumped to mostly Saturday/Sunday fixtures

you should see some of the “retired” players running around on Friday night in 6th grade. Albert Anae (former reds) has played for Souths 6th grade Jono Kent (former premier grade player for GpS/Wests/Brothers) has played for GPS 6th grade this year I’m sure there some other high profile...

One gripe I want to have about the rebels and RA relationship and their lack of support is… why all the Friday night games? I think the rebels would draw a better crowd if the games were on Saturday night or even Sunday afternoon. I imagine there’s a lot of rugby fans that live out in...

I would say of kicked for touch. But nice 3 from Jooste

Put Pone into no8

I think sully was actually referring to my post Stu. there’s a lot of rugby fans in this country who want to wipe their hands clean of the rebels and put it in the directors/board basket of being blamed. They think once rebels go a lot of problems will be solved. (Which they won’t) if money...
