for the record, i wasn't agreeing with greg. relocation will not happen. the pains for the rebels are through the massive start up costs that they have not been able to recover (partly due to bad attendances). they have a big annual check from rabo direct. the force had ARU support, the rebels...

http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/video_audio/179485.html rumours from growden on the rebels....he mentions the relocation word

i don't think the rebels are the weakest team in the comp. yes that was a horrrrrrrrrible loss/effort last week, but they beat the force and did well in all their other games. Highlanders are playing horrible, southern kings are more competitive than expected but we will find out in two weeks...

I wonder what the split in funds for the super 15 v lions games are? I would certainly hope that the clubs are getting a large portion of the revenue and little if any to the ARU. All the clubs need the extra dough and by the looks of the Tahs game they will have a full house and I understand...

I think he will head to the south of France. He wants to link up with giteau at Toulon. He goes there all the time and knows the boys down there.

good old league. always dependable. its continuing existence will always fascinate me. speaking of dying/death - I would be imagining that NRL is very worried about the superb performance and attendances of WSW

i thought the 'joking that the club must have worked quickly...' was a bit of a shot. i have a verry hard time believing that the club let phipps go for no reason but burgess......he had to have priced himself out. then again, maybe they wanted to get strzacker mentored by a more experienced...

i'd be very happy for the rebs to pick him up. we are astoundingly short on wingers.

he got absolutely murdered that game and offered little in a side that offered even less. I do think its important to note that putting a guy who is 5 apples high up against the closest thing there has ever been to a new Jonah is a bit unfair. and to judge rocket rod on this is harsh. i'm not...

and yes ,betham is a ways away from wobs, but he is a quality prospect. 2 years time, he is 26 and hitting his top form.

very true re 9 Strzacker really has to be the long term hope post Genia at this point in time lucas was utterly unconvincing when he was on. white has good potential but is about the same age as genia. ditto phipps.

agree - rebels management have gone an alternate route it seems lately and behold the consequences! i

agree. but they have a lot of churn coming up in Woodcock, McCaw, Carter, Nonu, Smith, Kahui soon gone, Corey Jane is 30 (old for a winger). Sam Cane is good, but surely not better than pocock, gill and hooper. Cruden is quality, but i think wallabies have the potential to have at least as good...

agree. logical thing to schedule a week off after a tour. 1 Henderson 2 Robinson 3 Weekes 4 Pyle 5 Jones 6 HIggers 7 Scotty 8 Delve 9 Zack (in light of phipps' comments and his poor play) 10 JOC (James O'Connor) 11 Kingi 12 Mitchell 13 Inman 14 Woodward 15 Roberts completely falls apart after Inman with two...

% growth in unique spectators leaves ARU at the top of the heap! they are growing which is a definite positive. Mungo's are declining rapidly and the most interesting aspect is the horrid decline in cricket, though given the product they offer and the entertainment value this is unexpected. why...

the original article this morning didn't say "but it's not the first time that Kurtley's been in fights with teammates..." it just said fighing on the training field is one thing and for him to hit delve...so i hadn't seen that part. very interesting regardless. looking forward to Adam Freier...

1 Cowan 2 Charles 3 Faulkner 4 Pyle 5 MMM 6 Higgers 7 Alcock 8 McCalman 9 Burgess 10 JOC (James O'Connor) 11 Cummins 12 Godwin 13 Inman 14 Vuna 15 Mafi 16 Robinson 17 Weekes (henderson is done after this year) 18 Manu 19 Jones 20 Cottrell 21 Kingi 22 Mitchell 23 Toupo (really like his pace and power) quite...

agree. this weekend is the anomaly this far for the rebels. we have been very competitive in other games. but this was a shocker. force looking strong. amazing back row depth. really like sias, godwin, tuopuo and mafi...and we haven't really seen cummins yet! they will get a few wins. the...

would agree with all that. i hope you keep folau as well. he is playing great and as you say, improving every week and i think end of the year he will be a star and be in the wallabies november tour without a doubt. and when you compare his demeanor with the forlorn figure he cut in the afl...

I should qualify that i was referencing the line out throws. Ulugia (sp?) was really quite poor, quite often. Holmes improved, but as has been notice, the kid has zero pace. around the ground ulugia was not bad, but some of the lineouts lost had me throwing my hands in the air (and i'm not an...
