the rebels board is incompetent but RA isn’t that far behind them. we will be the only pro sports league with no team in nations sporting capital yet we prop up Canberra with a nearly insolvent super rugby franchise where they take a lot of talent from Victoria because it’s not a large enough...

Poor effort by wests and Sunnybank leaving last moment to post team lists. (Still not up) im sure the reds social media team is thrilled to do a social media posf after 5pm for qpr this weekend.

Apologies - must of got my wires mixed re: Jordy debut. He did play a lot of #13 straight out of the gate for reds. who was the reds #13 in 2019?

Jordy was promoted into reds side because of Kerevi injury. sometimes you like to play it safe with development but unsure back then in 2019 who the better options were at #13.

My biggest concern about the Waratahs heading into offseason is this fake salary cap - super rugby sides are suppose to work on. rough mathematics JS 1.6m Kellaway 500k Jorgenson 500k that’s 2.6M towards 3x players that potentially want to play the same position #15. unsure what the salary...

reading the tea leaves perhaps? the other super rugby franchises aren’t having max departures (including the rebels) if you connect the dots - a conclusion one could make is Waratahs are in line to get the spoils of the defunct rebels

Eddie did something similar last year. He opted for the level headed no controversy recently retired Berrick Barnes over Quade Cooper! kind of sucks for Berrick because I thought he had a future in coaching and unsure what he is upto these days

the reds are mathematically locked into finals. I can’t see any scenario where they slip to 9th

Wow Floyd Aubrey on wing… his been great in clubland so if he’s played his way into a starting spot in super rugby this week - then much kudos

do you think northern hemisphere Les Kiss might have something to do with Lynagh 12 shots at goal? the southern hemisphere style of rugby in my view is always kick for touch and take the lineout

someone said Carter kicking percentage is on par with Tom Lynagh. One of the other options at 10 being talked about. unsure where I can track down super rugby statistics to confirm.

Just my opinion - Canham doesn’t feel like a fringe player. I think he is one of the starters this season at lock for the wobs.

I spy Pone with the rebels training group? How did he go last week with the Waratahs on loan?

Mafi was shaking hands post game in his reserve jersey. Is there a time limit before kick off you can nominate a change in players? I

KOB1987 - i am all for teams having veterans but I think the emphasis for something like that happens at a World Cup (which Eddie ignored) I would be cycling thru as many players as possible in year 1 of Schmidt era. If a player performs then keep him in squad. But bringing in players that...

FFS - no more Hooper, Cooper, Genia etc We are at the part of the World Cup cycle where you look to develop the next generation of rugby players not wheel out the players who are nearing retirement.

the pros of winger captain. easier for coach to get messages into the player standing close to sideline. plus allows for longer rest break for tired forwards when the referee blows their whistle so they can have a quick chat to the skipper. I too was not a fan of winger captains but after...

I think once in the 22. Penalty advantage should be continuous til you either score or you hear a whistle. Inside the 22 is really a scoring/pressure opportunity and it instills discipline on the defending team to not continually F up Between the 22s or inside your own 22. I think it should be...

Pone was actually playing club rugby for Eastwood start of year.
