I dunno, looking at some of his clients and when he picks them up, is it a case of being respected by his clients, or more his clients naivety as they've signed up when they're either at school or just out of it?

Harry was/is in a similar position if Lukhan plays 5 paired with Blyth. All three are playing with fire as there are plenty of able replacements at the Reds in their positions. Someone should tell them, it's not a good time to be changing jobs even as professional athlete.

Geeez, their manager has really backed them into a no-win corner here. The leagues overseas aren't operating and for Lucas and Harry, why would any club pay a premium for them? They've now lost all bargaining power by not having a club so they J-League and European clubs will only offer you peanuts.

Nah we don't. Wright has made the 7 his position, if we went for Gill, he wouldn't add that much to the backrow. Wilson has a better running and tackle busting aspect and Gill is too short to play 6. Rather than spend money on another flanker, any money the QRU has, should be ensuring we can...

How much of this has to do with society absolutely scalding those who stick out? As a result, clubs across the globe spend a considerable amount of time training their players how to answer questions without causing any issues. Hell, have a watch of 'The Last Dance' and see how arguably the...

I can understand Clarke meeting with Harrison, but I'd be telling Kearns to piss off and we don't negotiate with terrorists. If they want to continue with with a round robin Super competition. Why don't all Southern Hemisphere nations (including Japan), run their own domestic competition...

Eddie Jones was on The Rugby Ruckus podcast this week. Some good tidbits in the podcast. Biggest thing from a Reds perspective is, he said that year at the Reds caused him to go away and completely change his coaching style/habits. He found it extremely difficult relating and coaching the young...

Fuck me. The hypocrisy of NFJ never ceases to amaze me. The last time this bloke was on a Rugby Board, he used the NSWRU funds as a personal bank signing off loans to mates.

I dunno, I reckon it'd be a hell of a lot easier to lead and govern the game without the Mosman Mob dragging everyone down.

There's a few reasons why; the in house guys know the answer, the consultants get brought in and conclude the same answer, but the C-Suite only listens then. From a Government perspective, if they follow the consultants lead and it goes tits up, they can point to the consultants and blame them.

So what is it, close to $1m or well over $1m? But now its, $1m over 2 years for 2 blokes?

BR, I think you're forgetting that for most of the 2019 season, it looked like Pocock was touch and go even making the WC with his injury. Telling Hooper that he wasn't needed would have been the riskiest decision we could have made. More importantly, Hooper was probably our most consistent...

Newscorp are sinking and bringing everyone down with them on how they're carrying out. Foxtel had $800m (or 35-40%) written off by NewsCorp and Telstra yesterday.

They can play in Term 4 if needed, which puts a timeframe of October. Considering how much has changed in a matter of 2 months, give it 5 months and it could be a completely different landscape.

For those interested, The Ruckus lads interviewed Fraser Neill (Ex NSW Tahs CEO, IRB Director and was invovled with NZ's original restructure - https://soundcloud.com/therugbyruckus Well worth a listen for how RA should be approaching this shit show.

If the last week has shown anything, its that Twiggy only listens to the CCP.

For the Reds, COVID has messed my head with who's played what. But surely you'd have JP Smith over Hoopert as Harry didn't play much in the season we had?

I apologise if I mm I missing something as I've skimmed through the last few pages, but who is saying RA isn't or hasn't been listening to past and current players thoughts on the game? When the past captains moaned two weeks ago, RA was on the phone straight away asking them to have chat...

I've read the Roar article and your proposal of condensing 4 teams into 2. But tell me what I'm missing as a Queensland fan living in Brisbane. Under your idea of combining the Queensland and NSW elite teams, how can I expect to see more than 1 'top level' game a month? Using the proposed...
