For comparison, the A-League is charging new entrants $15m and it's anticipated that League teams lose around $2m per year Their (soft) salary cap is $3m a year, which is much closer to where we need to be...

MLR salary cap is $350,000 apparently(?) So you're probably only looking at a million or so a year to keep things solvent. Surely our domestic comp has to have higher ambition than semi-pros. You'd probably need something like 10 times the resources if we are going to have a comp that a)...

Yeah, the more 7/8pm Friday and Saturday night games the better. If you aren't in a pretty small timezone it gets really hard to schedule them Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It covers the ARUs costs for travel and running the comp Doesn't cover most of the real costs - the player and staff salaries etc which are subsidised by Super Rugby and downwards from the Wallabies Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Who knows at this point. Leicester might play hardball given the money they've had to shell out in th past to get hte players they want http://intheloose.com/2017/02/15/fords-transfer-fee-record-breaker/

What are the Tiger's fans thoughts T-Man. Can't be too happy to have paid someone for 3/4 years based on their ineligibility for international duty, only to have him miss one year totally, miss big chunks for international duty moving forward, and then skipping out early

Contract covered the 16/17, 17/18 and 18/19 years, and he re-signed earlier this year for 19/20 - by reports anyway. As others have said, they may just be options for the 19/20 years

International release window won't cover the Japan Bledisloe

Who's paying to buy Leicester out of his 19/20 contract? Anyway, looks like he'll be available for 3 or 4 games in 2019 if the Tigers don't make any finals. Premiership GF is 1 June, so if they do well Rebs might get a game or two out of him for 2019 Edit - does he take up a super rugby squad...

Always tricky to tell but the reports at the time were that To'omua signed an additional two years past this season until 2020 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/matt-To'omua-agrees-new-leicester-766852.amp#referrer=https://www.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s The report...

Another Oz rugby player showing their true colours. How can he sign a rebels deal if he just signed up for 2 years with Leicester? Can Leicester play hardball? Brad Thorn doesn't need to go round getting everyone's hair cut, he needs to go round explaining what signing a contract means Sent...

With Twiggy Ball coming on board around that timeframe too the player market is heating up! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Wil be covered by a "bringing the game into disrepute" type clause Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Hopefully the teams themselves know who's in and have started signing players up Will be tough recruiting any existing pros from other comps if they leave it to August Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Good memory! https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/quade-coopers-redemption-started-with-quiet-chat-and-a-haircut/news-story/c882f4828a0c310d1fa21d16dc5afbe9?sv=723405202ea160e49de5428ec9c050f4 Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I understand the position - it's just wrong. The attacking team absolutely does adjust how they set up and where the ball is thrown in depending on how the defensive lineout has set up. They absolutely do adjust calls on the way from the huddle and in the lineout itself. The lineout caller...

To'omua only started 3 games at 10 for Leicester, during the six nations. He played 12 outside Ford for just about every other game, including all the European cup games http://www.itsrugby.co.uk/player-zoom-12253-avivapremiership-2017-game.html Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It's not a problem. But it does mean he is going to lose out on selection at times. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It's not an argument BR. It's what is happening when teams walk up to a lineout

Butchulla artist Samantha Booth designed it http://bit.ly/2NCIz6T plenty more here. It's a nice rugby story Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
