Harsh on Philip IMO.

Yeah the plan seems to be to get a PE deal done so he can: - bring back the players that would otherwise be selected from overseas, - possibly sign a couple League boys who were 'lost to rugby', - catch high school talent before League, and - pump a bunch of cash into grass roots (including...

Rodda still make our best 15?

Some interesting comments from the Report Card interview. PE deal sounds like its pretty certain to happen. Apparently looking at some League players who are apparently interested. Also some overseas boys looking to come home. Sounds like McLennan is open to keeping Mckellar on. Thinks the...

Gamble huh. Big call.

He does.

Don't deny any of that. But i would still argue he wasnt a 'proper' fullback, lacking half the skills normally associated with the position. We have quite a lot of strike power out wide - id argue throwing money at another strike winger wouldnt be money well spent. Particularly when that money...

No one has Kerevi except us. But hes just one player whos available 1/3 of the time. Their pack in particular shits on ours. I would take their entire tight five over ours. And lawes at 6. Valetini is the only clear improvement with not much lost between Hooper and Curry. They've also got a...

Was Folau a proper fullback? Couldnt kick and had no distribution game. I suspect Sua'ali'i would be exactly the same.

I hope RA don't pay him what he is 'worth'. He wouldn't be worth what he would cost RA in my opinion. So, yeah, I fully expect RA to break the bank for him.

We still have a reputation for having a shite scrum. But as RR points out - England have had a good scrum under EJ (Eddie Jones) and some great props. I always thought Sinkler was a more disciplined version of Tupou.

I don't think so. This seemed a point of contention between Rennie and RA.

Do you live 10 years in the past?

Interesting take from Drew.

Vunivalu doesn't seem to be much chop.

Also this: Absolutely brutal. Misses out on the experience of a world cup. Can't even jump on board with a smaller team.

Wonder if undersized and overrated Hooper makes captain under his fifth coach.
