I'm the polar opposite. For the amount of cash the Rebels have spent, the amount of Wallaby caps spread throughout the squad, they are probably the most disappointing team in the Super competition. The Rebels have had what, two or three complete disasters of halves where their form goes from red...

It's a bit of a nightmare at the moment with TV/Movies. I currently have Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime and if Disney comes out, I'll have to add a 4th. It's starting to approach that threshold where the convenience factor isn't going to outweigh the other means of watching content. I don't think...

I dunno Sully, the All Blacks moved/shifted Carter to the outside channels many times. Earlier on in his Career he was a turnstile at 12. He no doubt improved during his career, but I wouldn't say they didn't need to cover him, more they actively chose were he was more effective.

Anecdotally speaking, I didn't see this vilification at all. Where people said they believe marriage is between a man and a women and left it at that, the pro vote left it there. I think the real issues arose when guys like Barnaby Joyce started trotting out the lines of the sanctity of marriage...

Interesting article by Andrew Webster on this whole saga - https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/i-couldn-t-care-less-what-folau-says-but-the-impact-it-has-is-undeniable-20190502-p51j8i.html

But from what Castle has said publicly, Folau made promises on his side to shut up about hating Gays, Drunks etc So they obviously took him on his word trusting that it was all resolved. Now, I don't think RA are blameless in this situation, however, I think it's too far fetched to land this...

Gel, multiple sources have stated it is not possible to include a social media clause into the current EBA between RA and the Australian Rugby players. Hence the need for a code of conduct.

The Reds backline was woeful last night, I couldn't see any type of gameplan/lines they were trying to run. I'm not too sure if thats because the Sunwolves weren't giving them the space to do it through the rush defence + toeing the onside line and as a result, Hegarty just had to shovel it to...

Yeap, I think this will be exactly what comes out of this entire situation.

Interesting to hear last night that the Fox guys were saying Taniela was close to re-signing with both the Reds and Australian rugby. Seems to go against the notion that the RA has a mutiny on its hands with the PI members. (I wasn't too sure if this discussion was a RA or Izzy Folau...

Ah yes, Nothing quite like couch based activism!

I didn't say stop, they're additional tools and if you read through them, they encompass the legislative requirements and help an organisation demonstrate that they told an employee about their requirements. That then stops them from turning around and saying "I didn't know that was wrong, I had...

Those same Codes of Conduct's help protect your wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers from some pretty ordinary dickheads in the workplace too. Anyway, that article jumps around a bit but for this particular case of Folau I don't accept this following part at all. The story we're getting...

If I've heard it correctly from Chieka on the G&GR podcast, it's more that, if a player doesn't have to prepare for a game, they can 'overload' their physical work i.e. they can cram in extra fitness and strength sessions as they're not worried about being fresh or travelling for a game.

I don't like the approach of resting players for home games. He's had a week off with this bye week, let him play against the Sunwolves and then rest him for either the Rebels or Chiefs game. That mean he has: Rest Game Game Game Rest Game Game Game From a S&C perspective, it's straight out of...

I think similar arguments could be said about men/women making changes and rulings that apply to the other sex i.e. What does a Woman know about what it's like to be a Man and vice versa? Sure, you can ask why they should spend the time and effort dealing with these moral issues. But why...

I/We have absolutely no idea what internal messaging RA have sent around to all employees and what they have directed towards Israel especially after they recently had a contract renewal. From those who are closer to the contracting of players, they've specifically mentioned that the EBA...

Well, the author was a NSW Supreme Court judge so there’s not too many more qualified potential advocates. Any way I agree with all of the article outside of “Clearly the intent is to whole-heartedly "include" the gay community in the rugby movement. But is its intention to "exclude"...

Geeeeeeezzzz, this constant capitulation by the Rebels in the second half isn't helping a lot of players make their claim for the Wallabies, or is it a matter of the replacements not performing?

This is probably something that QRU need to speak to Thorn about. The lack of outside recruitment in the off-season where we didn't replace outgoings meant that we were a couple of injuries away from a 'crisis'. Shifting previous outside backs into inside backs didn't help the problem either...
