They haven't ruled him out but I think (or maybe just hope) they'd have to miss out on quite a few of the other candidates to gamble on Cheika right now.

I do, some great original content and good deals if you buy it yearly during the prime day sales, but honestly I pay for it for the free delivery from Amazon and probably get my money back and then some as a result. Would not be upset if rugby went there, assuming the money is good.

It's got wings, I'll give you that.

Does anyone know who has been picking up the tab for all the rebels players playing hospitals cup the last few years? It won't have been the biggest line item, but it's a lot of flights over the course of the season and if it is the rebels who've been paying it might be in doubt going forward...

There was talk of a long term plan for Cheika to hand over to Contepomi from the moment Cheika started. Arguably this is a good example of Argentina learning lessons from Cheika's previous stints elsewhere and making sure he doesn't overstay his welcome.

A combined basketball and rugby club wouldn't be the worst idea for as city like Melbourne.

Not massive grievances, ate least not compared to some of the others, though you can never tell how much feeling is in a quote just from reading it: Rest of the article is just a rehash of everything that happened this year and a bit of pre-season fluff.

I'm begging you half, please just once, proof read what you've written before hitting post.

I expect this will see the Rebels follow the tahs into RA's arms shortly, particularly given there is no uptick of funding from RA next year.

Great to hear, sounds like it'll be an significant upgrade on the previous deal with NRTC sponsorship included.

100%, there's so much more they could be doing beyond "make the game quicker". For example I wish they'd get in some match day experts from OS leagues, NFL in particular. Need to consider the product and how it should work for the entire competition and that goes well beyond what's happening on...

Yeah, I don't like it as much as last years pacifika warm up shirt but I'm happy to see them mixing things up year on year in the warm up gear, particularly if it means they're a bit more consistent with the Jersey itself. No sponsor on the front is a little troubling though. I'm guessing...

While I don't think Horwill is the best candidate for the role he's not that ridiculous as a candidate. Aside from his professional experience I believe a lot of his business studies were focused on professional sport - I think his MBA dissertation focused on private equity in sport and...

Very tough at that age to come back from a foot injury, but given it'll be a year since he last played he might be an outside chance to pop up at a super rugby club as squad depth for a final season at home.

End of the year deadline I thought

For this year it's probably those you've mentioned, but part of coming from the clouds is that you don't necessarily see them coming. All it takes is one red hot season for that to happen. As a result they don't need to be as complete as they have the benefit of being an unknown. Often they will...

Looks like a jersey reveal on Monday so we should find out more then.

I really only think it's our issues at fullback that are weakening our wing stocks - if we had Kellaway, Petaia and Wright as the 3 main wingers in the squad I think we'd be in a very good place. Realistically though at least 2 (if not all 3) will be playing fullback all season in super rugby...

Possibly, it was announced for 22/23 at the time: https://reds.rugby/news/westpac-named-as-queensland-reds-new-principal-and-front-of-jersey-partner-2022217 They did end up sponsoring the QRL from community all the way to state of origin late last year so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if they...
