I've got this crazy idea that maybe we could.look at appointing a professional rugby coach with a recent history of success. Given we are one year out from a world cup and good team's tactics are changing almost weekly, ideally it'd be someone involved at the top level right now. Any...

Taxpayer funded the building. We taxpayers shouldn't forget that

He's played 6 games in total so far in Japan, and 2 so far this season, so may be something in that.....

Kind of the issue - he signed in Japan sometime before July 2017, before he had established that.

This is the biggest problem with our contracts at the moment I reckon. Guys like McMahon, who are on the cusp, but not quite there, or who have put in one good international season, leaving for more money, when RA won't stump up.

Our expectations?

No record of success as Head Coach

Who wants to have a guess how much it would cost to pay out Cheika for the remainder of his contract, buy out White for the remainder of his Japan contract and pay White's salary for whatever he demands while he has us bent over a barrel? This is not to say it shouldn't be done Scott Johnson...

Itsrugby has Magnay playing just 5 games in Japan since he left the Reds with none at all since January this year. Is that right? He's going to need a fair old off season to get up to speed

It's games against Argentina, and Northern hemisphere teams not named England or Ireland that seem to be the problem. From Aussie spectator and TV vieiwers perspective anyway

At least at Wallaby level, his scrummaging was the big issue. His body shape was at times diabolical. Hopefully that's been addressed up north too.

The RFU setting new standards for RA to follow... It really is a different ball game over there https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/46344676

Of all the law changes that one will have the least impact I reckon. With the various exemptions and resubstituions we already have 10 subs a match anyway

Sigh. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get out of our own way occasionally. Updated bench Replacements: 16 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17 Jermaine Ainsley, 18 Allan Ala'alatoa, 19 Rob Simmons, 20 Ned Hanigan, 21 Nick Phipps, 22 Sefa Naivalu, 23 Marika Koroibete

Fairfax is reporting that there were 2 million ticket applications for this game

The player throwing in the ball stands on the mark of touch with both feet outside the field of play. The thrower must not step into the field of play until the ball has been thrown. On the line, probably ok. Over the line, not ok. I think refs let a lot of this stuff through to make sure a...

He's contracted until mid-2020. If GRR can sign the likes of him, they really would be on to something!

is it the Drua or a different entity entering GRR? Or are the players going to be pretty much the same so it doesn't really matter?

Kearney definitely shouldn't have been a try - they've made that clear in the new laws

How many players are going to be available to sign a contract and play in February? With all of the other comps running it's going to be next year where we start to see the big names isn't it?
