So, of the players on our books this year who aren't confirmed for next year and we're farewelled last night, which would you keep and which would you let loose? Vunipola Fifita - Keep, he's a talented prospect who can play both sides of the scrum. Pete Samu - Keep, his versatility and just...

Further to the already confirmed departures, tonight it was confirmed that Chance Peni, Ben Hyne, and Josh Mann-Rea are leaving at the end of the season.

I’m amazed how wrong they were! They let me know about Speight a week in advance, haha.

Don't know. My first question was Speight and Valetini.

Hearing some whispers of what the lineup will be: James Slipper Folau Fainga'a Allan Ala'alatoa Rory Arnold Sam Carter Tom Cusack Jahrome Brown Lachlan McCaffrey Joe Powell Christian Lealiifano Toni Pulu Irae Simone Tevita Kuridrani Andy Muirhead Tom Banks Subs: McInerney, Sio, Makin, Swain...

Spot on, MST. Official line from the Vikings: "More premierships followed for the first grade side in 1997, ’98, ’99, 2004 and 2006 under the astute guidance of Hickey, Graham Reed, Brendan Allardyce and Baden Stephenson, as well as numerous premierships in other grades. An enduring rivalry...

Cheika included more for his lack of tactical or technical skill post-2015, not as much a comment on his 2014-15 glory years.

I think we're seeing that, time and again, tacticians and technical coaches are more successful than coaches who lean heavily into motivational skills. Thorn and Cheika are culture coaches, who care more about intent than form. Gibson and Wessels seem to care mostly about results, but the former...

I have begun to wonder if McKellar's issue is being unable to get his systems to click in the first half of the season. We saw that it took 10 games for us to start being competitive with good teams last year, and we were on track for an abysmal season at the halfway mark this year. But suddenly...

Good news is that White's success is not strictly tied to athleticism, so age is less of a concern for us. Not being able to retain Lonergan and Powell is a concern.

I'm honestly amazed we haven't seen more loan deals since the Force incident. The Lions made use of them very effectively during 2013: Source: https://www.iol.co.za/sport/rugby/taute-to-move-to-wp-on-loan-1401021#.UHbALfCJeWg Source...

From what I've been hearing, Reg, the Brumbies coaches have a ton of faith in Kuenzle, with hopes that Pasitoa will be the replacement. Simone is considered the injury cover if both go down.

The Super-level Clubs are obviously tied to the broadcaster/s, their national bodies, and their local fanbase. Screw up any one of those connections and the team will definitely be in a financial struggle, if not an irreversible tailspin to its own death. However, strengthen them, and you...

"Rebels can only survive if they charge members $2,000 for what other teams only charge $300" is a hell of an argument for keeping a team as is, haha. Again, no mergers are needed. No cuts are needed. The Force are still needed.

Not great but then again we shouldn't be letting this game get to the point where it's decided by shitty ref calls.

It didn't, I'm saying that most Brumbies fans would prefer to see the end of the organisation than see it in Melbourne.

Regardless, accoring to Lord Laurie, it won't be at the Brumbies!

Also, who in their right mind thinks that Canberrans will support a Melbourne team? We already have people actively supporting the Swans just to spite GWS for ripping off the ACT Govt and serving up a pretty poor product in Canberra. No way a merger would succeed; if you're depriving Canberra of...
