I wish I had the kind of money to just throw at random footballers because I fancy it. I certainly don't think he's worth $1.6m but if we aren't paying most of it who cares. He'll definitely bring some eyeballs - for a while at least.

^^^ Yeah looks like I was wide of the mark. $1.6m must put him up there with the highest paid Union players in the world, no?

Is he that good? He's certainly not got the runs on the board Folau did when he came over (via AFL).

Pretty sure he played league as a kid and was forced to play a couple years Union purely because he went to said school. His manager is a notorious wind up merchant and Sua'ali'i is both primarily a league player and outside RAs pay scale. We should move on.

Are we sure Laurie was pushed out?

The three match tours are more entertaining than the RC imo.

Haha that puzzle gif got me for some reason. Perfectly captures the Force trying to play rugby football.

The cynic in me thinks they've intentionally thrown a game they had little chance to win to maximise points elsewhere.

He'd clearly be there or there abouts. Real question is would he have achieved these levels of performance if he stayed? Almost certainly not.

There's a good chance he's signed for very little given his injury and playing record. If so, probably a good deal for us as he may still come good. Be a bit miffed if its at the expense of Daugunu though. He's in good form at the moment.

Seems fine for Japan based players at least.

Is this not an argument for opening up selection? We are currently in a weird middle-ground where we can't afford to keep a lot of our best talent but also don't let them get selected from overseas. The Saffa contingent still seem pretty competitive in the URC despite the Springboks open...

Because they are all playing for the fucken Celts!

Would be pretty silly to resign Vunivalu and lose Daugunu - clearly the better of the two. Unless Daugunu has already turned down an offer or just thinks hes worth more than whats on offer here - being just outside the Wallabies (probably true).

The fuck is this idiot on about. You can't tackle in AFL regardless.

Well he made several pretty silly mistakes. That said, it wasn't unique to him so maybe he was still up there in the MotM stakes.

Gotta be up there for greatest try of all time (Wallabies edition).

Ardie, while still great, doesnt have the same impact at international level as he does in Super Rugby. Id argue hes actually only middling on the defensive side, in particular. McMahon was great. But he recognised that his style of play combined with his smaller frame was simply...

Alright watched all the games live so I'll give this a go. Really struggled with the forwards: 1. Gibbon 2. Vailanu 3. Nonggorr 4. Frost 5. Neville 6. Valetini 7. Wilkin (OM Callan) 8. Gleeson 9. Lonergan 10. Gordon 11. Toole 12. Stewart (looked good before moving to 10 and looking really not...

Well Jake Gordon had a killer season at Super level last year and we saw how that panned out
