All 3 missed either all this season or the first half of it

But is it really working in France? It was only 4/5 years ago everyone thought England was in amazing shape domestically because of the cash going through the system. I kinda look at France and see similar set up. I don’t actually see how some of these bills are being paid in France either...

Premiership needs to go to 10/11 teams and give up on the notion that a 2nd div is a viable option. They really need to follow the NRL model and work from there. Get rid of the Prem cup, downsize European involvement so only the top 4/5 teams are involved (decreasing squad sizes) etc. To put...

I wouldn’t put Saracens in that list any more. I’d suspect Leinster would be one of the highest but might not be the highest. As you’d prob know better than me, but the Irish long term tax back scheme is the big point of difference for player retention. Could technically reject bigger offers in...

agreed I suspect this will cause a push from the Welsh teams to jump at the chance of joining the weakened English system, which will completely destabilize the URC. Meanwhile French teams are spending big money but in reality the tv deal isn’t what even the NRL and AFL receive, and the crowds...

Rebels won 2 close fought games against WA u16 and u19’s. Tough conditions for both teams

Think it’s going to be a pretty fluid rotation of all 27 players in the game at some stage

Never understood why between Rebels and Brums a stream can’t be organized.

Can see him ending up at the Rebels once the Brums hookers are back. They are a little light in hookers beyond the main 2. Grew up in Vic before getting an opportunity at Brums.

Some are obviously judged differently to others. Gleeson I though was good, but wasn’t an incredible performance. Hanigan had a good game, if he plays like that a couple of more times he will be on the plane for EOYT. Vunivalu is harshly judged, he had a good solid game and didn’t make as many...

Robertson done almost nothing you might be getting confused with Gibbon who has been close to best, Donaldson showing why Edmed will be the Tahs 10. Gleeson been okay, agree with the other 2.

Tate’s issue is he runs like Dupont, but passes like Phipps and kicks like Luke Burgess. (Apologies to Burgess as can’t overly remember if he was a bad kicker or not) He’s not going to get a serious look in until that’s fixed. He’s a mile ahead in all attacking attributes to the other...

Pretty sure he played in the old NRL u20s comp for the warriors

So will he play LH or lock for Scotland?

Nine now saying 700k for total audience on fta and 9Now app. Unclear on how many watched with Stan.

Good result. Thursday worked a treat for crowd and tv numbers

I think there is still some wiggle room in the squad. Some of the names on the first page aren’t in the main squad and signed to Melb on wider squad or development contracts.

Just like with the NRL magic round, it’s the travelers that will make the event and not the locals. Otherwise it will just be the same group that turns up each week spread out across 6 games. We need people from WA, QLD and NSW to support the event otherwise it will be a bust again. I had...

Brother in Rebels academy as well been close to best in current Victorian crop as a hooker. Could potentially be a triple swoop if things were to go a certain way.

Nobody is paying $10m. RA have even come out and refuted this. We need to stop giving it air as it just damages the code with people unable to distinguish reality and fiction
