Particularly Goodhue - looked rattled and dropped like a sack of potatoes after the hit

Probably a yellow as the height was a mitigator, but yep would’ve been a card all season. Common sense decision, but wouldn’t say it’s consistent

Not sure who he’s replacing, but given the Reds’ 10 depth, it’ll be interesting to see him back at 10 for Wests this arvo

On a serious note, I think it's a good call. No need to change the Mandela cup as he is not a controversial figure - as an iconic global figure of the civil rights movement, and given our nation's history, there may be more significance than meets the eye

The Gilooheys New

His willingness to play 15 adds to his stock as a utility off the bench in my mind. It's almost a guarantee that Quade will be the first-choice 10, and I don't think JOC (James O'Connor) pushes out any of the remaining starters.

To be expected when it comes from Fox, who have done nothing other than pot-stirring and attempted hit jobs since they lost the broadcast rights

So, at minimum, 2 more Aus teams (+ Drua) - 60-70 odd additional players to mostly pull out of club comps, no doubt a few bigger-name and overseas signings thrown in. Again, reckon we've got the depth and quality of player base to support that? I'm not sure splitting an already diminishing (and...

Does Australia, and will Australia ever, have the player base and quality (let alone the funds) to support 10+ pro-level teams though? In a perfect world full of union fanatics, yes, but we are a long way from that. I just don't see how a domestic comp is sustainable and engaging in both the...

Interesting turn of events - seems your right, last year’s jersey with SRAU and without the gold detailing. QPR posted it in March saying he’s back at Ballymore so took it at face value. Photo of the year gong is still up for grabs then.

He and Smith were the consistent quiet achievers for mine this year. Takes the cake for photo of the year too.

"No pattern of concern" - aside from two instances of dangerous play a couple of weeks apart...

Counterpoint: nah, enjoyable season Nothing stopping you hosting your own barbie next weekend either

At least he’s consistent?

Another baffling one re: head contacting the ground

The value of a personality like Tupou driving fan engagement off the field is greater than ever given the type of content fans, particularly younger generations, engage with on social media. Rugby AU and Super teams are starting to do more in this space, but there's still plenty of growth to...

Yep - ~€700k, so about A$1.05m

Tupou isn’t your typical prop though - he has a game-breaking ability that not many players, let alone props, possess. A comparison that comes to mind is Kerevi, and he’s on that sort of money.
