With a nod to Uru's 12 carries for 40m, 3 defenders beaten, 3 offloads and 9 passes. Add in 9 tackles with no misses That's a huge shift.

It's not only this game, but for a genuine Wallaby like McDermott, it's still pretty amazing how often his left to right pass misses the mark. It all starts from there

Is the same true of head coach development?

Has Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) bulked up too much and lost some of his pace?

The Red's maul is their best weapon this year, it's been largely unstoppable and obviously they have worked very hard at it Having said that, pretty clearly the refs have just stopped caring about the lifters obstructing and getting in front of the ball carrier to setup the maul. That was the...

Jordy would already be getting paid Jorgo money wouldn't he? If not more? Jorgo is "only" going to get a bit over $500k a year. Even Donaldson is on $400k

RA are using Ballymore for the women's 7s in the new facility in the western stand This discussion is around what's happening with the eastern stand. And RA/QRUs desire for more government funding to finish the ground off

Penalty count 18 - 4 to the Rebels. Around half of those being scrum penalties. That's the game right there. No team, or coach, is going to overcome that

Is there much RA can do about junior player numbers out west or do the have to channel any initiative / funding through the whole NSWRU / SRU / SJRU / Penrith District pathway (hope I haven't missed any)

I guess my initial question was based on there being a master plan in place and approved with the eastern stand still there. Is there a design or plan for what RA/QRU would be seeking funding from government for? Is it similar to the existing ~5k capacity stand or lower capacity option like...

Does government have any plans to do that?

It's great news. Looking forward to seeing what he can achieve

Might be he successfully laid the blame at the feet of the board in interviews etc, but I do think it's probably a reflection of what the Drua are offering salary wise and to the quality of their likely applicants

I think you are underestimating how pissed off many of the member unions are with the current board. I'd be pretty surprised if any of these three directors get re-elected. The new blood may be a bit different. To clarify, I don't think the letter or group will make any difference. There have...

Also, surely Jock Campbell isn't it line for a Wallaby topup?

Who takes over from 55mins? It's a big issue with FR captains. They aren't on the field when you need them most

It's possibly not fair to boil Petaia's career down like this, but ultimately he's started just 12 matches in the last world cup cycle across three positions without being an automatic starter in any of them. He offers unrivaled utility value, but that obviously isn't worth much

I don't discount fatigue, but I think the coaching/tactics played a much bigger role than any individual level effort. Cron had them counter-rucking, laser focussed on shutting down Paisami 's go forward in mid-field and attacking down Vunivalu's wing. Was impressive from him

Maybe they've noticed a weakness (they have now), but it's always a pretty good tactic anyway. Even if he catches it Wilson isn't kicking it, and you've taken him out of the run threat. He can't get a run up or take the pass from the catcher if he is the catcher. It's why international sides...

The good thing is Wilson will get a lot more practice at kickoffs because every team in the comp will be kicking to him for the rest of the year
