I used to coach against Hartill, very unassuming man, very intelligent man, very motivated...internally. they could do worse than to handover to him. Only issue is though, I feel for Jason Grier. He inherited the poisoned chalice from his incompetent predecessor and had nothing to work with...

some were yes. But I have many friends in the corridors of influence. A life long lasting benefit of being a former Wallaby coach. It's amazing what gets discussed on a thursday evening at The Commodore!

perhaps though this is not too unrealistic. Penrith get taken over by Parramatta Gordon merge with Norths Manly and Warringah merge Easts and Randwick merge................ Poido will go nuts!

Coxy, you're a bold man saying that!! Sweep your car for explosives prior to starting it, the tradionalists will have you hanged.

just been out a long luncheon with some influential rugby folk. the word around the table was: Easts (sydney) are in deep financial shit with auditors advising them to go into voluntary administration. Randwick are going VERY hard at a group of Penrith players in a package deal. Peter Samu...

BM, can't speak for everyone but for me, Cooper is hated for 2 reasons 1. He should have not aired the dirty laundry publicly 2. He said he wouldn't have played if chosen. He needs to meet me in a dark alley after that comment!!!

and whilst I'm in my ivory tower............. another contributor? making rockstars out of 15&16 year olds by including them in high performance programs and telling them they will be Wallabies. Disband the NTS/JGS or whatever it's called these days

For the record, I still felt we were in it 15mins into second half if we could get some possession, but we were rudderless. Continuing to play touch rugby league at training and during Captains Runs is a significant contributor to why we see one out plays or selfish, imagineless chip kicks in...

firstly, what a brutal game that was. secondly, even 10,000 kms away Quade contributed to the result thirdly, we need to stop hiding behind the injury toll. Even during the farce of the non-replacement the commentators were making excuses for the result and named 15 blokes who were out...

Offical? Nothing on their website...............

I believe Norths player payment budget for Colts this year was $45K.....allegedly West Harbour allegedly also pay some good coin for Colts.

Latest rumours: Matt Briggs to be Assistant Coach to Mark Bakewell at Easts Daniel Manu sacked at Wests Tim Lane leaving Manly Parramatta have signed 3 Internationals - a former Argentinian Test tighthead, another former All Black fullback (who will be available from end of April for...

I wouldn't. No question Gower is tough, but Coleman aint no shrinking violet either. Coleman is superb in the lineout and around the field, and despite the scoreline in the semi, Parra won 100% of their own lineouts and stole some Manly ball too. I'll bet $500 Coleman gets a contract to Super...

I was trying to be nice. IMO I don't believe Jenkins was up to Super standard, so by any franchise not signing him and wasting a contract on someone just coz he's from Uni, will allow Australian rugby to develop and foster someone else who could be. In other words, he didnt work, move forward...

Dunno about Pakalani but definitely got McMeniman

So you mean to tell me John Ulugia, Sita Timani, Lopeti Timani, Grayson Hart, Kane Douglas, Atieli Pakalani were all Souths juniors do you. What else you got? I've only come down in the last shower!!! Goose!

Oh really?

if that deliberate elbow happened in Sydney club rugby, he would have got 6-8 weeks. 2 weeks is an absolute joke. It was intentional and malicious. How on earth was it not graded as top end?

good on him. He'll do well in a second tier competition. He wasn't quite up to it at Super level. This is a good move for him and a good move for Australian rugby

great hypothetical.................and I will play. Just a question though. Can we include currently contracted Super Rugby players and EPS players.
