the rebels decision is seperate Reg to building pathways I will not cut some slack for a “Jobs for the boys” simply because he wore green and gold.

I think once Carter finds his landing spot in league he will be a household name. I predict he will play for maroons. he is Darren Lockyeresque with hair (but a shakey boot) I really hope he stays in our code - but his skill set will translate to league quite well

the David Fifita of rugby — but nowhere for his backflip to land

Phil has been a major disappointment / he was talking all last year about supporting club rugby as the next pathway product. 12-18 months into his tenure and not a thing has been done about his vision etc.

Roar is reporting unless the tahs land Cheika then Gordon on his way out too 13s code

Anyone but Waratahs. if they hire Kevin Foote to lead the reborn Waratahs I may stomach that… will be tough though seeing a promising coach leading the evil empire.

Looking Yet he and his mob want to put a roof on top of Accor stadium. taxpayers just need to accept that stadiums are infrastructure investment. It’s not like America where there’s billion dollar publicly financed stadiums that service a billionaire owner.

and also the reds will be hosting touring wales and then skipping off to Tonga for a match. I don’t think super rugby players will see much 3rd tier footy this year tbh

wasn’t any rebels players in bulldogs team last week. Will be interested to see in 4 weeks time what happens once the rebels play their final game

the men’s game would be receiving sweet FA if any of govt assistance but If I recall correctly - I remember Albo posing with our female rugby players at a press conference saying they deserve a proper wage. I wonder if the rebels/SuperW existence might be tied to that funding package in some way

I don’t think it’s sexism but might be RA saving grace… don’t want to pay the wages of professional footballers but happy to pay the wages of professional woman footballers (because they get paid in peanuts) I was more asking the question - wondering if the rebels had to absorb the expenses of...

What happened with the super rugby franchise financing when they kick started the Woman’s comp? Was there a cash injection from the govt or increased funds from RA seems a little weird RA is talking about the rebels in superW potentially continuing whilst no men’s representation in super rugby...

so what needs to happen for rebels to play pro rugby in this country again? say the 4x remaining teams get x amount of dollars from a tv deal - do you think there would be any appetite down the track from the rugby franchises dividing a pot by 4 suddenly having to divide the pot back to 5? less...

Yeah man this pisses me off to no end. Up in Queensland we have a govt penny pinching on our Olympic bid and stadium vision about cost of living etc and we got numbskulls in Canberra throwing this kind of coin around for a footy team

Technically … Force were never removed. They were essentially demoted from super rugby to keep plying their trade in NRC until they could be promoted again. what’s Victoria got now? There’s no 3rd tier… time to blow up super rugby and come back with something where the nations sporting...

Hope the rebels win their next 4 games. They have the talent and coaching staff to pull it off

Damn - I really wish Hamish McLennan was around these days. Phil and Herbie way out of their depth here showing no leadership no vision. I’m sure the idea of centralisation was going to compile all the super rugby debt from the other franchises and better manage resources amongst the 5...

Please explain seafood? don’t we cast our nets in the same water… are the fish that much better tasting to the east of NZ. (Must be all the nutrients from volcanic run off)

Wonder if Vunivalu is line for a stint in club rugby this weekend. Wasn’t named in reds Matchday 23? Could use the 3rd tier club rugby confidence boost but I must say last time saw him in clubland he was outclassed by the other bulldog on the other wing Ben Navosalagi

David Vaihu looks in line for his first super rugby cap this week. Named on the bench!
