Yuck.

HMP hasn't even debuted in the senior team - there's absolutely no chance he is this season's 10. It will be Lynagh/Creighton/O'Connor. A reminder that Lynagh also featured in 12 of the Reds' 16 matches in 2023... I'm not sure how you can suggest writing off a 20yo who has shown immense...

I think this is pretty on the money - 10 and 12 will be the interesting decisions imo. If Lynagh doesn't start 10 (which I think he will), I reckon we'll see Creighton there, with JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 regardless. One of Creighton/Lynagh (whichever isn't starting) and Paisami/Henry/Annan fighting for 22 and...

Kayo stats are easy to find. As of 21/09/2023: Stan is a lot harder to find up-to-date figures. From 2021:

I will never understand this rhetoric - it’s pure revisionist history that the decisions were ‘better’ when TMOs had less oversight. It would be even worse given the availability and distribution of replays and slow mo footage in the modern era - fans would whinge even more than now.

No where near enough.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but the Wobs are technically still a chance as Fiji didn’t get a bonus point, right?

This conversation is more circular than one of @Dismal Pillock’s flow charts

Not what I said. I don't think it's ridiculous to suggest that there is a very, very, very slim chance (hence non-zero) that Eddie pushed the story through whatever channels to TD in a bid to keep the media coverage to himself, shifting the lens off the players. That has been Eddie's MO when it...

Yeah, it's not like TD was grabbing his morning coffee and bumped into Eddie on a Zoom call There's also a non-zero chance that Eddie leaked it himself to keep up the theme of pulling all the attention away from players.

From the rhetoric that's come out from ex-players still broadly aligned with RA following Campo's comments around Eddie, there is absolutely no chance he has even been considered. Thankfully.

I thought he was cousins with Greg Blewett? They both appear to be of Anglo-Saxon heritage and the names are basically the same

Anyone have news on whether the Festival of Rugby is happening again in Feb? Think it's normally announced late Sept / early Oct

There's a good chance I'm mistaken, but it was only select games shown on YouTube wasn't it?

I'm not sure that each Super team really does have a unique style of play, more that there are (naturally) variances in strengths, weaknesses, and exact execution. Overall, I think you could cluster all the Aus teams' play much more closely than comparing outwards to other nations. The way I...

Went to Colo High School, followed by Charles Sturt Uni...

Or, cynically, it's easy to see exactly why he was hired

@Eddie's Eyebrows thoughts?

His heart might be in the right place, but fuck me, his ideas on how to grow the game (as evidenced in yesterday's AFR piece and the 'festival' of GPS rugby) are so far off the mark and cringeworthy that it isn't funny.

Yeah, should this be believed, the distrust from clubs is very understandable. Hugely concerning. It's also not a surprise that the Tahs, who may have the most to gain / are already most aligned (at least administratively and with personnel) have kept quiet
