I’m 100% sure in your post you also didn’t claim he was

I’d expect them to be having 5 day a week contact with the club for 10.5 months a year. Does highlight how ridiculously short the Aus season is

The provincial crowds are the same as Aus crowds, just in smaller stadiums. Ticket sales don’t mean a lot these days unless it’s for an international game charged $100+ per ticket and 40k+ in the stadium. It’s so small on the revenue %, clubs would elect it to be the first part of revenue...

that’s a no.9 call all day to kick out

Nice little stab there about budget. The IRFU brings in more money than RA because of the 6 Nations gold mine and the worlds most generous tax system for professional athletes. If Aus were able to keep all their players, had the pick of local sporting talent best suited for contact sports and...

I feel Hodge secured his place in the squad but not the team. JOC (James O'Connor) might be the unlucky loser to this. Quade is clearly the preferred older statesman, Lolesio after playing 3 games in a row is at least top 2 choices and just don’t think having a senior player as a 3rd option is doing any favors...

Yes because one moment can’t single handedly change the dynamic of a game. It’s alright if a player from a team you support has a bad moment. Doesn’t mean they are a bad player

The White brain explosion trying to run it out of the 22 before half time was the most pivotal point of the game, more so than the 2 potential bombed try’s

England offered the fools gold out wide and we took it. That sums the game up for me. Silly mistakes and a lack of game nous. Plenty of individuals did well, there wasn’t any poor performances. We just aren’t savvy enough when key moments in the game arise. Personally I think this is more to...

He had a great Super Rugby season the year he returned to push for a World Cup spot. Took the opportunity to return on a minimum contract, but once didn’t get a look in left to take up a nice $$ offer in France. Largely went unnoticed that season because he was playing in Melb instead of NSW, QLD. From...

I’m sure they already consistently look at where the money is spent also when has RA shit canned an idea? The shit canning usually comes from a loud selection of the public which then compromises the integrity of an idea/competition they try to install, which then sees it collapse.

100% I have read many mentioning these guys need to be playing club footy etc. the sad truth is our crop is playing more club footy than the NZ group. The NZ group has spent the majority of their seasons in NPC junior age grade teams, into Super Rugby academy sides, then played a Super Rugby u20s comp and also...

You’re right my bad

QLD u20 played the Rebels very recently.

The best talent at public schools end up at private schools anyway. Private school fees aren’t an issue if you are an elite junior in most sports around the country.

This kiwi team is very good. They also came off a Super Rugby u20s comp only a few weeks ago.

Yeh hopefully an injury free season. Type of defensive player Rebels need to tighten things up

Think we will see a bit of Leota at 8 this season with Kemeny at 6. Played a few games at the back end of the season at 8

Not that Reds would want to lose someone like Stewart but personally think Henry potentially a class above

He’s a very good line out lock with incredible work rate, however has hands of butter
