No way should Peter Gilmore ever be in a "best of" team

This is true but I guess that's as far as we are likely to travel, not the norm I think perception also comes into it, we are an islander heavy club that doesn't travel well, turning around and saying Wollongong I'm guessing would scare a few people off, myself included. No disrespect to the...

Their fb page said Toulon would be named tomorrow

Still doesn't make Wollongong any closer.......

Jeez lighten up a bit, not the end of the world if a few former greats come out of retirement for a bit of a run

In 2013 he was still playing bush league and last year was helping train some of the Lloyd McDermott sides

Doubt it, Oatley is an hour from the gong let alone anywhere we have to play which is past that.

Did anyone else see that Andrew walker has also been named as a wildcard for brumbies along with larkham

Well someone has to try and convert the heathens :P

I guess it's just a different generation, being 25 I think the concept of doing the whole "staying for drinks" thing sounds cool but at the same time I have zero interest in participating. I'd rather hang out with the footy mates at the local pub or be with my non-rugby friends after spending...

Well aren't you lucky then, don't have to worry about switching between the two!

Wow really? Not a large cross-over?? I'll concede probably not a huge amount of league supporters would be keen on 7's purely because there is no big/well known names but for sure Union supporters watching the 9's. And yes I imagine a lot would switch between the two but I'm still assuming...

Only takes one body to get their shit together and schedule first then the other to go "well maybe it might work better if we don't do that weekend" Surely you jest when you say it won't have an impact. Less Aussies would travel to NZ "let's just stay at home and we can watch both", less tv...

Yea just as a general footy lover I find it pretty disappointing, it has big negatives for both competitions and I can't see any benefits at all for either code by having it on the same weekend. Surely the NRL or World Rugby would have the foresight to at least make sure it doesn't happen...

Can't believe Sydney 7's and Auckland 9's is on the same weekend, such shortsightedness. Also what happened to the party zone at Sydney 7's this year? When I went to buy my ticket there was no option for it??

Spoke to the sport officers at WSU during Australian Uni Games, so about 4 months ago and they were under the impression they would be involved

Surely talaki gets a run with the Reds squad at the 10's, he used to regularly slot in to first receiver and direct the backline at schoolboy level. His skill set would be a pretty big asset

I believe at most it affects two kiwis at the moment, while it could very well change I doubt it would change before 2018

So do you think NZRU would turn down the opportunity to sign him to a franchise?

Imagine a blues backline with Folau, SBW, Ioane, Ranger, Moala
