As much as this hurts a lot of posters on this forum, he connects far better with modern players (especially the significant Pacific Islander cohort) than most other ex-players. His role should be very limited to either well-rehearsed pregame content or minor colour contributions.

He's not good enough to justify Rugby Australia breaking the bank to entice him to play for Australia. Unless he's willing to come over for a slightly above average Super Rugby contract, we should look to spend that money elsewhere.

Southern Brumbies rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

That‘s a load of shit. What’s he going to get in Japan? He might have a compliant and submissive CEO, but its not like Japan was a pipeline of world class players with perfect development pathways. He‘s going to be losing far more games coaching in Japan than back here, the difference is he...

You’re about 3 days late.

That’s exactly what happened. No one should spend any time responding to this dude by the way.

Have you never left a job for a higher paying opportunity?

I know you’re a troll but his quote shows a level of humility that Eddie Jones never had- hence the different reception.

B Because the travel associated with Sevens is fucking draining after an extended period. If there are local options with comparable or better pay- you’re going to take it.

Are we talking about Skelton here or are you just generally venting?

I don’t think it’s a monstrous loss- especially given the type of rugby is likely to be more expansive outside of the World Cup paradigm.

There might be some auctions for offshore wind farms in Wollongong coming up..

They’re both unlikely to start next year though which highlights the depth of backline players.

It’s pretty deep- you look at players like Matt Burton or Jack Wighton who aren’t necessarily even Origin players, and I think both would be very handy.

Honestly the major problem with Super Rugly in its current format is that the Australian teams are shit and the marketing is absolutely horrendous. If the Force were strong, then everyone would be interested in watching them play the Auckland Blues. On a related note, is there a more boring...

There’s 30 backs you’d rather poach from league before considering JAC.

He’d be a significantly inferior Bryan Hanana. He’s got speed and would be useful for his kick chase but he’s not particularly evasive or skillful at all.

Only a rugby union forum would automate pe into private equity.

Twiggy and MacLennan are cut from the same cloth- they’re both relentless self-promoters (driven by self- interest). Have a look into Fortescue Industries and its the furthest thing from an organization with strong corporate governance and an arms-length chairman. They’ve both bought into...

I agree but I’d also say he’s genuinely capable of being a very solid outside centre when you consider his skill set. He’s a big body who’s strong in contact, a good tackler, and can beat a player on the outside. His biggest weakness seems to be his inability to get into games at times which...
