    Managers get paid a higher % of the contract in France, and it's paid by the club directly to the manager.

    ARU moves to kill off club player payments: A 3rd tier, club rugby and the $60k persuader

    Our biggest competition for the young player is rugby league. They have SG Ball and Flegg competitions that attract plenty of 'pathways' attention from recruiters. Sadly, but understandably many of the rising private schoolboy rugby stars see playing in these competitions as their meal ticket to...

    You underestimate the influence of 'others' in his life like managers. The manager often looks at at it this way for himself; 6% of say $300K = $18K for me if he signs with the Force OR 10% of say $500K = $50K for me if he signs with a top French club.

    ARU moves to kill off club player payments: A 3rd tier, club rugby and the $60k persuader

    I think some of the links in the chain simply aren't there. In broader Sydney, how many U17 and U18 teams are there playing club rugby on a regular basis? Here I wouldn't count 'one-off' teams that are pulled together for State Championships purposes.

    There's never been an issue with JOC (James O'Connor) getting involved with the rugby community. He drinks with em, fights with em, has happy photos with em, argues with em, goes out all night with em.

    Oh he's a dick alright. I wasn't in any way defending him, just setting the record straight.

    Yes and while you're there; The US won WWll, Peter Allen was gay, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank and an Aussie won the America's Cup sailing an American boat.

    Western Force 2014

    My info is that he wasn't drunk at all but rather he became obnoxious, bordering on aggressive when his girl blew up at him about seating arrangements and he in turn vented at airline staff. Aggressive people on the ground are not normally allowed to go into the air. Also anybody leaving customs...

    Force by name need to be Force by nature. If they really want him, they should put their final offer to him with a 24hr expiration clause. That way they'll know if he's serious and also will not be used by JOC (James O'Connor) as a bargaining chip for other offers.

    Time to revamp cards to Yellow, Orange, Red ?

    The concern here is that team's will send on assassins to target and maim as many of the opposition's key players as possible. Some teams would risk playing a man short for 20 mins if they could remove the other team's key player/s. Guys like Steve Finanne with his phantom punching ability would...

    Mowen Considering Move To France Over Pay Dispute

    Interesting dilemma with Mowen. With our best team available, I don't think he gets a start. I also don't think his value can get any higher to the Wallabies than today. Maybe the ARU should internally benchmark each player on where they rank for their position against both Australia's and the...
