Totally agree. As far as the dirtbag reference, I was only addressing the drug issues talked about in the Herald article. Hopefully that was just a young mans mistake and he can get the assistance needed for his other issues.

Good signing. If he gets his personal life in order (how hard is it to chose between being a dirt bag or a professional athlete?) and expands on his junior World Cup form where he was one of our best in the backs he should make the most of this opportunity.

Everyone’s mental health is more important than their performance on the field/court/whatever. Good luck to him

Yes, everyone deserves a second chance. Can he play second row?

Agreed. It’s a trap we seem to have fallen into. If we pay the piggies too little they’ll go elsewhere and the “entertainers” will have to try more miracle plays with a bad platform to justify their paycheques.

Is there a similar graph showing Australian, NZ and SA average wage by position? I think the problem is also, we need “entertaining” players to stay here as marketing to attract crowd in a more competitive sporting market.

I’ve heard nick phipps is killing it wherever he is.

Players seem to lose a lot of their deficiencies when you don’t see them play regularly.

Like I said earlier, the second Australian Barbarian (not A) game v pumas was their whole touring squad (40something players) playing three 30 minute thirds against a composite team of 28 players from the wider wallabies squad, local super rugby players and club players with unlimited...

But only if they’re Tahs.... Or brumbies Or reds Or rebels Or Force-ers (What is a collective of forces?)

Didn’t see the first game, the second had unlimited changes with the Pumas playing their entire squad v 28. Both are good players, it’ll be a good outcome if a rivalry develops and they push each other to be better players.

Agreed, but if the props can hold up their side of the scrum it’d be cut in half.

He’s had 3 games with the same situation, long range penalty to win at the death, he’d missed the previous 2. Sometimes you gotta laugh.

Hodge raffled off a wallaby jersey for bushfire relief off his own bat. One of the good guys.

Who’d be a goal kicker. Bad luck to the guy

We have to move Wright in closer. He has iq. It’s wasted hanging out on the wing waiting for the ball.

You can’t question his talent, his execution isn’t great, not everything needs to be a grandstand play.

And that’s saying something. Nothing wrong with scrums, but with a minute to go does he really need to give a 30 second lecture?

As they say in Buenos Aires, “el boro”
