^^^ WR (World Rugby) have said they will be wheeling this out all-round. And lowering the tackle height for the professional game (but not as low). Hard to say whether it is the right decision in terms of safety. I assume its science based but also wouldn't be surprised if it was driven simply by the fear of...

No Philip is such a blow. Dude is in career best form. Leota seems to be injured more than he's fit.

We doing a fantasy game this year?

Maybe we should email them and ask what the fuck?

Is a league fan who will only watch due to a passing interest in an ex-league player the type of fan worth throwing millions of dollars at? I say no. Only point in poaching a leaguie is to help us win.

Fuck I can't wait for off-season to end. This is grim.

I'll bet you 20 internet bragging points he finishes the starting 10? Donaldson is so average it hurts my soul.

Agree that seems a blow. Wonder where he went? He'd be useful for another Super Rugby side.

The English have done a far better job opening up the game to broader appeal than we have. Being somewhat split between the two countries now my impression is that Australians are generally snobbier than the English - outside the Harrow and Eaton types.

Fair enough I guess. I think his record so far means he should be given the benefit of the doubt. Hell of an improvement on Pulver and co, anyway.

Well he also said he recognized the dire condition of the grass roots, junior pathways and women's game and said he was working on fixing them (somehow). I think he was just saying what people wanted to hear, to an extent. He does have a marketing background after all. Still, it is at the very...

I think its more about making the Aussie sides as competitive as possible.

He more or less said on the Rugby Report Card that he is securing a PE deal and will use the money on bringing guys back.

Tupou? Seems Tupou will be lucky to make it back in time for the RWC. Be hard to see him displacing 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) with no shot at Super Rugby and little fitness. Wouldn't count that against 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) captaincy credentials for the year. Longer term, yeah.

You mean the two guys who refused to take a Covid hit like literally every other player in Aus? Yeah. Fucking Thorne.

Didnt realise Hoops wrote the match day program. What doesnt the man do?

You are right. Samu is 1.85m & 102kg and Hooper is 1.82m and 101kg.

For a team with a 38% win rating over the last three years? I think not. All it takes is a loss to Wales and we are probably fucked. We lost to them last RWC and in every game since bar one.

I guess. Explosive wingers come and go pretty fast IMO. Class centres are far rarer.

With Ikitau around his best shot at getting into the Wallabies side is at wing - but I think he should be 13 for the Reds. I still think he has the potential to be an outstanding outside centre. World class even. He's only 22. He's got at least another 10 years of professional rugby ahead of...
