Our halfback didn't get suspended, I think, BH.

Interesting that this is the first time we've been in the final since 2010, where NZ beat us by 50. Here is that team: L Morahan; D Shipperley, K Sitauti, R Coleman, A Toua; M To'omua, N White; S Manu, S Siliva, P Alo-Emile, P Battye, G Peterson, C Fainga'a, L Gill, J Schatz (capt)...

It seems the second YC was more for the act of preventing the try, rather than the tackle itself. If the Argentinian player managed to ground the ball, he probably would have stayed on the field.

They need to own a part of this saga, though maybe not all of it. After Folau's first blunder, they needed an ironclad plan as to how they would react if it happened again. They had a golden opportunity to actually safeguard themselves against this given he was at that time negotiating his...

It won't become law. Just a notice of motion in the Upper House. Purely a sentimental thing. .

No, you will be. That post was largely off topic, actually. The topic is the Israel Folau saga. The thread exists to discuss Israel Folau and his case against RA at the Fair Work Commission. If you would like to discuss any or all of the following: Religious freedom in society The...

For the same reason as John Folau? What a mess. I suppose it's just lucky that the only blokes Izzy could recruit to his church were dud footy players. .

It's been reported, and the mods will take a look at it, not just me. .

I don't know, we once had a bloke who thought David Croft was better than Phil Waugh. .

A few observations from the Rebels/Tahs: - Naisirani would have to be short odds to take the #8 jersey. I've said it in the past, but he really is Cliff Palu 2.0. He doesn't necessarily steamroll over defenders, but he just works and works and works. The effort he was putting into his work in...

I thought Rona was planning on making a regulation tackle, but then Koro stepped back into him and he couldn't adjust to get his arm around. It was a shoulder charge, but I don't think it was deliberate or cynical. Penalty was a fair call, but if it was anything more I reckon Rona would be...

Yeah I'd have Smith ahead of Pocock too. Both fill the lower two spots on the dais behind Phil Waugh.

Good to see us get to a Cup final in London. Managed to watch a bit - Longbottom is much improved, and Miller looks a quality find.

What's the situation with the Rebels and the salary cap? A few quality players sitting on the Rebels bench they might struggle to hold onto next year.

'By all accounts' - what does that even mean? You're suggesting they used the Vic Government cash to pay their CEO? That's a very odd way to analyse the finances of RA, not to mention just being incorrect. The fact is that Government cash may not be for the express purposes of grassroots...

I only listed those because I am from NSW and it's what I know. I also know the Victorian Government has made a big cash commitment to RA for events and to support the Rebels, I believe. But don't let me get in the way of your preconceived ideas. .

Pretty sure that's the motto of the forum

I don't think we can really complain about missing out on Government funds. Here in NSW we are getting: - 2 new stadiums and one renovated stadium - A new HQ funded mainly by Government - A new centre of excellence for the Tahs - Event funding for the Bledisloe and Sydney Sevens - Upgrades at...

Haven't we got a big cash grant from the Feds to fix up Ballymore?

They were free to marry Derpus, as long as it was a member of the opposite gender. But we're getting well off track here. Maybe some people need to take a day off this thread, and maybe return when there has been new information on this case? I feel like we've been going round in circles...
