They are probably Australia's most popular team at the moment. But the Wallaroos and then Wallabies will have their turn in the sun if they can perform at the home World Cups while non-fans briefly pay attention Under-rated component of this - the Matildas have been playing their games on...

Presumably 2020 Covid tour

Regular season crowds for 2024

Not to mention the planning controls. Must have stretched the definitions to the limit to get that through (assuming the Queensland gov support means it has got through)

Read a couple of journos on twitter who are suggesting Holloway is one of the 2 missing unpublished names

I always think about this stuff as funding players, not teams. - although assuming we can continue to fund things at Super Rugby level - that's around $1m per team. $1m across 30 players = $30k each. It means we have no international standard players remaining in Australia, and probably no full-time...

I wonder how many Super Rugby teams have travelled away to a different country and won a final. It must be a pretty tiny percentage. Home teams have a huge advantage ay this stage

Peni Revi probably doesn't get re-signed (which is a shame as he is good). Leaves space for another prop. Most of his salary paid by RA anyway

I don't think there's any chance at all that RA (or the member unions who they represent) do anything that put at risk the home test matches which pay for just about everything in Australian rugby. If anything they are becoming more important, as Super Rugby popularity continues to decline. There's no...

Any sign of Liam Wright's signature yet? With Uru, Wilson and McReight already signed he's in a tough spot for Reds and Wallabies. 4 into 3 doesn't go, especially if the lock stocks improve and Uru eyes backrow. I could see him holding off until some of the test matches are played this year to...

Maybe they won the most penalties at scrum time or something like that?

Rebels were well down the list on the official super Rugby scrum win % stats

Force players are training in Perth and Tahs players are training in Sydney at "satellite" training centres. Looks like this is just keeping possible.players fit and away from too much of an extended Mad Monday until Super Rugby is done

Why? They are all training with someone at this time of year. Wallaby rewards come through the match payments, which are a fair bit larger than Super Rugby

The players don't get any additional salary of making training squads, they get a relatively small allowance, higher if they have to travel/live away from home.

Why does a journalist/writer working for the Roar care what the consortium's legal team thinks?

By whom?

There's no chance of this. Our sport's whole business model at the moment is based on the assumption that we can get enough people interested to subscribe to Stan. If we want to get into advertising based revenue on FTA we can't be going to nine with a game on at 5:05pm on a Friday

When it was played, the women's state of origin was the highest rating FTA game of football of any code, men's or women's, so far this year.

Donaldson is at 76% from 55 attempts. He's around 10% better than Gordon and Lynagh, and 10% down on Edmed and Lolesio, give or take
