2022 was indeed last year, so I’m unsure what part of my comment you are refuting? My point is we didn’t know he was capable of until he was given the chance. Writing off Toole just seems weird to me, as if he is incapable of improving as a player And Mark has 2 try’s in 5 games for Australia...

Did he? Toole was amazing on attack this year, and Mark wasn’t even in Rennies plans at all until the Australian A games late last year

Mark showed defensive liabilities at Super Rugby too

That’s not what happened, but don’t let the truth get in the way of your story

If he really wanted a longer contract last year, surely he would have signed the multi year deal he was just offered by RA?

Sorry Fam, I’ll try to be more apathetic in future

But the result is the same. All the time and money that RA spent on developing Mark from a schoolboy and first chance he gets he bolts for the door Just my opinion but I personally think that's quite poor

I'm not supporting Eddie at all. He's a twit I'm consistent in my view that both he and Mark haven't been loyal to Australian rugby

It's neither

Eddie was an employee too, and as was mentioned, he never broke any contract, both sides had an out this year which they took This is the definition of a double standard

When Sua'alli kills it in rugby are you still going to dog him?

It's from his agent. And it's utter tripe, so emotional Mark couldn't care less about Rugby fans, and his agent insulting us by pretending like he does is irritating Eddie is a prat, but they are both traitors

The Roosters are paying Mark $600,000 RA offered him $550,000 on a longer term deal

He's getting similar money to go to the Roosters though

Well, yes, yes he did

I just think we need to be rewarding loyalty to players that turn down more money to stay and play Rugby in Australia Weird that people don't have the same energy that they did for Eddie being a traitor. Maybe there are a lot of Roosters fans here

Yeah stuff it, lets make him Captain too

“A lot of good people, including the fans, have been involved in Mark’s journey, which has made this decision an emotional one. We hope the door will be open for Mark to return to the Wallabies fold in the future.”

What more could anyone in RA have done for Mark?

So what, RA should throw him a going away party?
