How old is Kerevi? He was one of the OGs in the NRC comps… if he’s still playing 2027 that’s roughly like a 13-14 year window of professional rugby and not getting any younger.

That’s a long way away. Considering his form at last years World Cup i wouldn’t be making any commitment to the gentleman until closer to the date. getting a bit long in the tooth Kerevi is…

lucky for rugby - there is no international rugby league federation that’s going to pump millions of dollars into growing the game in the pacific. We already saw the clusterfuck with Vlandy and the PNG bid being tied to a 600 million dollar investment from Australian govt. I’m not even the...

There’s been some good rules introduced to speed up the game. The goal line drop out instead of a 5m scrum when held up over the line has made rugby a better spectacle … albeit this is a rugby league rule

you are mixing up the codes. Ghost of raelene was referencing NFL with its stop/start games rules being more suited to a rugby player then a rugby player going to league

nah when I say big fish big pond - I mean world rugby! the commentators gush at the World Cup about Petaia athletic ability.

not in my opinion. Rugby league players are big fish in small pond (NRL played professionally in 3 countries max) rugby union is big fish in big pond. Petaia is considered an athletic freak in our game. anyways time will tell - if he proceeds down this road.

depends on the definition. He will make a team, participate in preseason. If Val Holmes and Hayne can find their way into a squad of 53. Petaia being a international rugby player certainly is a chance

I agree special teams until his earned his role - but if he’s playing tight end I see him in the Aaron Hernandez role simply because of his size and deep threat.

He will be wide receiver or a pass catching TE (line him up in the slot). just thinking how he has suffered some of his injuries in rugby he is too physical (for his own good) to play on the defensive side of the ball but if that was the route we were going he is an OLB.

I don’t think it was in the news. It was in the commentary from the peanut gallery. “Australian representatives are travelling to NZ next week to discuss the format of 2025 super rugby season” That statement then segways into this discussion about national comp. Both sides of the ditch seem...

I will go out on a limb here and say Melbourne gets a professional rugby team before it gets a second NRL side. Kind of OT but still on point. Storm have been reaching out to female athlete for their new NRLW side… surely they called the rebelettes considering their future is very murky

he was the face of a franchise that went belly up. granted it was his decision to go in a new direction but it’s a real kick in the guts for the code who stated they’d try to accomodate the rebels cattle… anyways - Eddie got his scapegoat for World Cup. Ppl like you saving clips like this and...

I don’t see Melbourne second team expansion happening anytime soon. at least not in this 20 team comp expansion… how does club rugby union stack up against club rugby league in Victoria. Participation numbers etc?

You are a poor contributor to this forum

that’s how I felt about Drew Mitchell. someone at Stan woke up and showed white disco shoes the door

what comment? did you mean the one where he said is excited for league and where the game is heading… not sure what you want him to say in a press release. No disagreement from me about his manager!

I’m curiously interested to know what RA contracts look like after today and if there’s any further commitments post Super rugby to sticking around… I know previously we had the NRC and players were turning out in it before they headed to France/Japan. But with no genuine domestic comp… I’m...

Did Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) piss off to the roosters yet? I know he was looking to get out of his contract early to join eastern suburbs. Could his Shute shield team use him?

RA met the week before they announced rebels were being cut from the comp. They know where the players wanted to go. the ball has been rolling for some time now for the transition of these unemployed rugby players
