Sorry, I more meant, the QRU and NSWRU can handle the marketing, promotion and management of the game in their states with directions from RA.

Perhaps that gives you an idea that RA is moving to a somewhat leaner HQ and will rely on the States to help run and promote rugby in their state rather than doubling up on the work.

Fuck I'd be keen to know when those letters were signed. Seems like the Kerevi situation all over again with the way this agent conducts business. Makes sense. If you have a listen to Eddie Jones on the Ruckus podcast, he mentioned the need for todays managers to be more of a 'people' manager...

Since we're just throwing names onto the board. Skeleton was reported to have sign with a French club but in the start of March, but nothing official appears to be shown. With RA being keen on bringing him back, could we not use Rodda's salary + a RA top up to match his wage demands?

We've got plenty of guys around the 190-197cm mark in the backrow, no need to have a smaller lock, otherwise we run the risk of turning our forward pack into mirroring the Waratahs.

I mean, Clive bought us 33 million doses of Hydroxy which the orange man tells us will save us from COVID. Twiggy on the other hand, brought an enemy agent to a presser with Scomo. Check and mate!

Thorny has spoken about the whole shitshow - https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/do-not-do-this-thorn-breaks-silence-over-exit-of-reds-trio-20200526-p54wnc.html

I dunno, Maloloua has been solid over the last 12 months and it's a shame the QRU can't get some kind of exemption (or continue letting him take the foreign marquee spot) for him as he has come through the Queensland system.

Now that you mention it, Rodda's hairline seems to be sitting higher and higher each year!

We need a 15 more than a 10 with Lucas going. At 10 you've got JOC (James O'Connor), Bryce, Stewart and Carter Gordon coming through at 10. At 15 we have Campbell, Bryce and I can't remember how much Hardy has played at 15 along with Vunivalu coming in next year.

Hockings and Lucas haven't been capped at an international level so if my memory serves me right, they in theory won't take up a foreigners spot and could even play for Japan some time down the track.

If Thorn was an issue, why did Rodda and Lucas both sign long term contracts late last year?

Seems to be consistent with how Piccone conducted the Kerevi contract saga, so wouldn't surprise me if this is the case.

I mean, that's possible and all. But Rodda signed a new contract 8 months ago and Lucas was given a 4 year contract last year too. Thorn was the coach back then as well.......

QC (Quade Cooper) - Was not wanted by the current coaching team due to his style of rugby not being what they were trying to play. Was told that he wasn't going to be picked and understandably still wanted his high paying contract to be honoured. Gill - Was third string at the Wallabies No. 7 and went O/S for...

Piccone should know that people aren't buying cars right now and the dealers are wanting to move whatever stock they have on hand or on ships. Never a better time to buy a Merc!

51 were employed in 2019 along with 37 players - https://qld.rugby/about/about qru/governance Although I couldnt see part or full time employees

Peter Ryan won't be reinstated as defense coordinator at the Reds and is currently looking elsewhere - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6667951166648913920?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A6667951166648913920%2C6668146509567016960%29

Ah, I see Rodda was one of the brave souls that would reply "Yes" whenever his mother asked "If Isaac jumped off the cliff, would you?"....
