Interesting quip from Kellaway’s interview on KOKO which might give a bit of insight into the playing group’s sentiment (paraphrased) - Prof: “Have you been payed?” Kellaway: “Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t be playing!” He did also mention the staff have been been great at separating the players...

I wonder if this will have an unintended effect of more dangerous clean outs (i.e. shoulder to head)

Official - ruptured patella tendon As an aside - again, I'm really liking the work put in from the social team this year. Don't think we would've got this sort of update/post in seasons past, particularly for a (for lack of a better term) 'lower recognition' player

I'm assuming it's a reflection of typical body height for a ball carrier vs an established ruck/maul - a lesser punishment in recognition that it's easier to 'get it wrong'

His signing was announced in June, but he may not have actually moved (and thus incurred relocation expenses which he can invoice for) until late last year

Bringing in an off-contract (AFAIK) 35yo who had an okay club game when you're trying to develop for the future is a pretty hard sell

If I was another club I would recognise his current employer is up shit creek and there's an outstanding pay dispute - in no way is this is a blot on his character, let alone his employability as a rugby player.

The fact that RA's proposals to plug the financial hole were rejected suggests it is in no way about the cash.

Whoop, there it is. Acting on the guidance of his manager, by the sounds of it.

Not disagreeing with any of this, nor the prices themselves, just adding some context of the rough equivalence.

Nah, they’re about double (if not more) what TSwiz was charging for roughly equivalent seats. Surprised we haven’t seen any “You won’t believe how much the wallabies are charging for tickets!” articles

At least two more weeks according to Les last week, so not yet. Creighton might be likely though

I'm convinced Harry Wilson's brain thinks it's in the body of a star outside centre

@Filipo Daugunu pls enlighten us

Apologies if I wasn't clear - was talking in hypotheticals, noting it's been knocked back by the current government and unlikely to happen down the line. This whole thing's been such a hullabaloo, no doubt to only increase in ferocity as we approach the games.

You have to wonder whether the proposed Victoria Park stadium eats into Ballymore's potential use case and funding allocation - not apples-to-apples given the proposed size and supporting infrastructure, of course. Does seem a bit bizarre to propose a ~55k seat stadium about 800m up the road...

He had a top-up through '23, but not sure about what his Rebels deal involved

On Lynagh, I do agree it’s best to give him time - however, he really does seem to be made of different stuff and plays with a level of maturity well above his years.

Randwick are absolutely falling apart. Proper self-immolation

It’s not just awareness though - it’s directly raising funds which would not have otherwise been raised.
