So, with R92 and Stade merging for next season, think a few players might be looking for a new home. Should I hold out any hope we might get Pyle and PAE back home? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, correct. A frequent visitor to Sparks reserve when he's in town. Paul Ioane was there last year, the dad I did my knee on the Hill. Think someone ask "why the fuck did you let your bro go to the 'saders"...

Oddly enough, I was an old Fitzroy fan/ When they got punted was right at the time I was getting serious about Rugby. Fair to say the loss of the Lions killed my interest in AFL. If you go out to the Manningham Hotel (I think, the one near the Bulleen freeway exit) there is a whole bunch...

He did. Came over from Fiji on the "island breeze program", run out of Box Hill Rugby Club. His superb form at club level, where he helped the Broncos go from cellar dwellers to grand finalists, earned his a Rising jersey. The rest is history. Box Hill was also the original home for Lloyd...

Not as bad as the Saffas...

Is that why you like to stand up all the time?

Or, let something out of it.

#1 is still purchasing fireworks / porn down at Fyswick?

As Harold Mitchell once said, you don't buy into a Rugby Club to make money. I think this was on the day he handed back control of the Rebels to the ARU.

Interesting twist on the Brumbies v Force match: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/extra-spice-in-brumbies-clash-against-force-as-watershed-sanzaar-decision-looms-20170306-gurnhm.html Feels like it's billed as a battle of the at-risk team. Paints the Tahs, Reds and rebels as safe from the...

This. I think Cox is employing a deliberate strategy to put up significant barriers to exit. And he is selling a good case for it. But, much like what you three wise men said on the Podcast last night - the chances of significant change are probably low. But still, Coxy is hedging his bets...

Update from Blocka - looks like this unofficial edict has been in place for a few weeks. So either Lorenzo is on a top-up, Coxy said "yeh, nah ARU - I'm signing mah boy", he secretly knows we're sticking around in Super Rugby, or the deal has been in train for a while and the ARU just let Coxy...

Interesting article from Blocka Dutton. Mus be shit for players who are out of contract. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/australian-super-rugby-teams-asked-not-to-sign-nonwallabies-until-after-sanzaar-meeting-20170307-guso9i.html But one thing comes to mind - is Laurie...

I agree, and I think they should get one. He noted recently they "broke evenish" which indicates it's not about the cashola (for him at least). If anything, that sponsorship money can be invested directly into the local comp and player development. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First part, well he does have a good point here. And we all know it. Porters five forces anyone? The Coach? Hmm, no he's not doing a good job at the moment. Performance based industry, and the KPIs are getting smashed. Note the last paragraph: "We've got a tough draw, there's no question...

They don't have one. However, they have an army of minor sponsors, occupying every other part of the playing kit that I can imagine. A while ago Coxy said they weren't too concerned if they got one or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Talk of Kurtley coming back to Oz. Wouldn't it rile up our friends north of the border if we signed him back at the Rebels? Wouldn't put it past Coxy to at least have a shot, he is a businessman after all.

Like Tex, I have very little time for Growden. He spends his hours shitcanning everything in sight, rather than trying to positively contribute to fix the problem. People like that are often worse than the problem themselves. What pisses me off even more is his restraint towards the other...

He does have a good point: are we building a pro competition, or just a feeder for the Wallabies. Clearly, you know his position. Besides the "comprehensive review" that you mention, a few paragraphs dedicated to on-field leadership. But rather than defend Nic, he talked about how good Sean...
