    RUPA supports a Draft System - Wayne Smith 'Australian'

    As are new players not signed to contracts, that are "forced" to sign contracts to play for teams they don't want to play for and/or move states Let me know of an industry (say the legal industry or medical industry) where it would be legal for new employees to be put in a draft; and if not...

    RUPA supports a Draft System - Wayne Smith 'Australian'

    A draft is illegal under Aus Law, first time a player challenges it, it is gone. It is a restraint on trade and collusion by employers to limit the opportunities of employees

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Robinson was very effective last season, playing long, long minutes each week With Kepu, the Tahs were quite solid

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Absolutely, leave the meat and potatoes stuff for Foley (straightening the attack, distributing the ball, kicking goals) then Beale can focus on the random extras

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Yeah, the clan were too smart for the Tahs, they worked so hard in that first half, to chase those kicks (turning some just average ones into great) but they also made great decisions on when to really fly at the Tahs in defence. They stopped our go forward by everyone bar Hooper and when we...

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    by that stage, someone had to try to do something dumb? not really, if he gets away with it and gets the turnover, he is a genius who was off side

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Apart from the Ponies I don't think there is any real quality in the Aus conference Tahs set piece is just too average, when the matches get hard; and we have Tilse and Ryan packing down 5m out from our line, I have no confidence at all in it not resulting in a penalty try and a yellow card

    I see the Clan killing the Tahs on turnovers

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Tahs have had the approach lately of getting right in the faces early of the top sides, I expect Palu will be\could be given the role of going hard for 30 minutes with Holloway finishing the match.

    Reds 2016

    I thought the Reds were much better, but the good structure they showed early fell away for too long. Nice to see their backs actually trying to create space by movement, but the more I see CFS, the more i think the Reds could do\must do better

    The Wallabies Thread

    How can Smith being challenged by the best THP in the country be an issue? Scrums were a good battle all night As to errors in general play, his years of quality work around the field in enough evidence Look again, the only thing holding back Weekes is him being injured or the decision to...

    The Wallabies Thread

    From you maybe, I saw no real competition from Cooper or Beale last year to get near Foley at 10. Foley is a proper facilitating 10, too many just don't appreciate that style preferring 60 seconds of show boat genius over 80 minutes of solid rugby But now that Lilo is actually playing in his...

    The Wallabies Thread

    Weekes is the best scrummaging THP prop in Aus at the moment after Holmes by some way I expect the props to be THP: Holmes & Weekes LHP: Sio & Slipper Floater\5th prop: Smith

    It is round two FFS, plenty of time for the early "bolters" to revert to their norm and units like Simmons to find theirs

    Aussie Player Exodus

    You see, I see that as an ARU issue in allowing two different teams to import 9s, I would have the same issue if two teams had imported two starting 10s or hookers.

    Aussie Player Exodus

    There are always new players coming through mate and who is going to take these opportunities in 2017, well I see some massive opportunities Flexi contracts? Not a fan, but if the choice is losing a player or a flexi, then flexi wins And I ain't writing Cooper off for only the 7s gf, that...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    The ARU can't win, "if" the numbers are right and Beale will get $1,432,327 AUD per year then to get close to matching that would lead to just as many complaints of Tahs bias o_O in paying that much for a test bench option Flexi contracts are a compromise to keep players The reality is the...
