In a general sense I don't think they'll be too disappointed. High Tea and Island night were quite successful, and having the 10 Masters teams play always brings in cash, between the Guinness drinkers and the extra tinnie each and the small kids who want the best burger in Vic Rugby and the...

Jaguares are an almighty bunch of whingers aren't they? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

As many in the legends lap as in the stands applauding them? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Surprised Coops isn't in the bin, looked like an obvious knock down to me. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Fuck me. Disappointing if true, given that it's a pretty big day down at Box Hill (Ladies High Tea then Pacific Night). Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

What transfer fee would ever be paid for Placid since he's an UNCONTRACTED player Transfer fees first and foremost require significant changes to the contracting structure and attitudes of the "Selling Union", there is no obligation, moral or otherwise for the buyers and World Rugby itself to...

You weren't alone in that Redshappy, most of us felt that the suing talk was to negotiate a significantly stronger platform to do what he really wanted, whether that had been more money, more freedom to recruit, or the freedom to sell without condemning the team. Sent from my SM-G935F using...

Yeah, that was the timeline I had in my head. Excellent integration at all levels in 2014, then a clear separation between Imperium backed Projects (Super Rugby, U20s and Rising as Rebels Development) and non-professional Victorian Rugby.

...the Melbourne Rebels’ future looks pretty secure... ...Our spies tell us negotiations are well advanced between Cox’s Imperium group, the ARU and the Victorian Government about shifting the licence back to the VRU. ...the businessman is apparently open to exiting the financially-draining...

Return of the Axemen falls into place with that as well. One very valid criticism of Imperium for mine is the relative lack of investment in Club Rugby, and their contingent in the NRC. While it's only my perspective, I have felt that the average of age of non-Super players selected in the...

Personal Restaurant success, or TV show Restaurant/hotel saving & Chef competition judge success? Because AFAIK, ones pretty good, and the other still compares quite favorably to the general rate of brand new hospitality businesses, which is pretty good considering they're all circling the...

Hopefully he comes to back Australia in a couple of years with a bit more realised potential, but at this point in time, I'm not too bothered about it. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Exactly what I expected. A levy introduced at roughly same time as the NRC, is being falsely correlated with funding the NRC. Whereas AFAIK, the levy was introduced because it was the longest possible time between significant external funding: a BILs tour in the previous year meant that it was...

Can I ask for the direct evidence on that? The prevailing narrative from media, the ARU and Super Sides, and and, at least from the Melbourne Rugby community is that between Foxtel and Sponsorship money provides most funding necessary, with only gaps such as ground hire and payment of players...

It really should be the Tahs that go. For all/most other states, much of the link to Rugby flows down through the Super Side to engage with the local community. Whereas what's been made clear through this thread and many others is that the Shute Shield is what ties NSW Rugby together. As the...

Hopefully Turinui and the other assistants are well underway de-McGahanifying the players that are staying/potentially staying, at least for the NRC. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

My feeling is that it's less specific than Center/Fly Half, and more an option for either, depending on who we can recruit from elsewhere. So if and only if the Force goes, and we recruit DHP as suggested in the article above, Hodge plays center and Horwitz plays fly half. Whereas if we all...

Yeah, there's so much there in that awful gap between laughable and terrifying that I'm not gonna touch it. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
