Would Australia have a somewhat competitive team to have a 'Indigenous/PI Australia' team to play NZ Maori? I'd imagine we'd have to use some of the Wallabies in the I/PI Aus team though. Means you could have 3 x Aus v Nz + 3 x I/PI Aus vs Nz.

Makes you wonder why RA and the A-League don't have a chat about sharing the costs of standing up their own production company. There's a couple of months where you have some cross over of the previous Super competition and A-League, but, the company would be busy close to 12 months of the year.

RA had already announced that any player who was to lose $200k due to COVID was to be given the opportunity to have a sabbatical period (currently 6 months, but I'm sure you could negotiate 12-18 months easily) to make up that lost cash. They were encouraged and told they could play in Europe...

Add in the fact that Australia and New Zealand are co-biding for the womens 2023 Soccer WC and you'll be able to demonstrate a lot of requirements and leg work already being done by the earlier bid. Literally two birds, one rock.

I don't see it as them playing politics or them being illogical. In fact, I think its quite astute of them. Would you trust and tie your financial well being to an organisation (or organisations if you expand to the state bodies) who have shown time and time again, an inability to be...

Eh, Henry was head and shoulders above the other wingers this season. We're worse off without him for the immediate future.

Just remember, anyone who tells you that we should readily jump back in bed with Fox, blindly forgets how Newscorp were pushing for John O'Neill to be appointed as Clyne's replacement -...

From memory, in 2019 he was splitting his time across the Reds and Broncos. So perhaps we can do something similar once there's some cash coming back into QRU either this year or next.

Mate, it's groundhog day all over again. Here's a snippet of the press release when Pulver was appointed in 2013!! Recognise any themes?

I thought we weren't letting the southerners up here! Perfect day for it today on the beach though.

All the clubs bar the Rebels ;)

I don't think I've craved a Gold at the Caxton before heading to a rugby game this much since I was 18.

Coming off a massive shoulder injury, I'd hope they ease Jordan back into the fold. Hell, he could sit out the rest of the season and just focus on getting his body right for all I'm concerned.

Playing the best team in the world 3 times isn't the problem. If anything, it's what draws in the publics eyes that don't follow Rugby. What is the problem is, playing the best team in the world back-to-back weekends, losing both of them and as a result, being knocked out of both the TRC and...

Interesting tangent, but domestic violence victims are constantly told "You're nothing without me" when they try to leave the relationship.

Correct Dru. I agree that he'd be a journeyman, but if JOC (James O'Connor) goes down, it does leave us very raw in the flyhalf position. He also covers 12 and 15 which would be hugely beneficial. I would also imagine Carter would learn an incredible amount under Tom's wing given the Canterbury teams Tom...

So Tom Taylor is on the market after being released from his Pau contract after leaving France during COVID - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12337901 He's based on the Gold Coast, has done his isolation etc. Could be a handy pick up to help cover Lucas's...

To hate something would imply you have strong feelings for something. I personally don't care for the game. Whenever these arguments are brought up, it's always by the League camp. It's truly little brother mentality.

I'd rather they move the defenders to be a metre behind the last foot of a ruck, or enforce the defensive line being offside rather than any of those changes. Add in the bullshit human centipeding that goes on when a halfback wants to kick a bloody ball.

Damn that sucks to hear. If anyone has their ears, it might be worth asking them to have a chat to 'The Athletic'. I know a lot of Journos in the UK have switched to it and the quality of writing I've come across has been fantastic. Would be great to ensure we keep the high quality rugby...
