It will be interesting to see this replayed with the respective First XVs in round 1. The big difference in play for me was Gordon v Thomas. Thomas is not ready and Gordon is actually looking very good. If I was Penny I would have removed him as he had nothing that needed proving. The play in...

My understanding was that 7 homes games (in the season proper, not finals) was not really enough to make it work. Cut any shorter and funding must come from somewhere. Edit: add to that the fact that the broadcasters are looking for content.

It is a professional sport which in turn makes it a business. A business that must generate turnover sufficient to cover costs (and ideally expansion). How does a shorter season work with that?

Pincus. Good.

But does say something about the WB "Great" twats that need to be pacified this way. RA are going the right thing, it is still pity.

Starting with Stan premium package, because I think they deserve a shot for supporting us and the missus will have time to test the general offer. Flicking through it looks good. I'll back off if I don't find things of interest. Love the "New Home of Rugby! Reds v Brumbies COMING SOON" Bring...

Before Jake left the Reds I never considered him Super quality, though it was not the best environment for an up and coming 10. Has he improved in France? Greatly?

I'll watch the Super, TT and Wallabies. Additionally I'll watch the Tigers, and will try to keep up with as much QPR as I can. Shute probably just the finals. Easy worth the cash for me.

*The more I look at that 23 the more I feel I might have overestimated the potential for improvement for super rugby this year.* Not sure if I’m agreeing or disagreeing. I think that is an awesome 23 and a solid step up from last year which also was sensational with a standing start and living...

Pretty sure I paid $25/month for Kayo. Which was solely for rugby. Did not hear a lot of complaint about that cost. In fact it was half the cost of Foxtel which I very much wanted just for the rugby. Actually, at this stage, if they can do it cheaper I’d rather they hold the price point and...

My focus on this is 10. Which will be JOC (James O'Connor). In which case I don’t see Paisami at 12 our best solution and suspect that Stewart should be competitive for the slot. At the same time I can see Stewart taking that second ball handler role and expanding to 10 if needs be. Certainly if JOC (James O'Connor) gets...

Ouch! I had forgotten.

Mini World Cup? https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2021/01/17/australia-mclennan-mini-rugby-world-cup In short - plenty of NH countries are having COVID difficulties in get ting their National teams game time. Some are already here in Winter so why not extend the invitation? RA looking into the...

Why? It’s on FTA.

And for us.

This. I like your generation more - thought to be fair when I was mid 20s (1987 to be exact) my generation was similar, even if tablets were less known. The issue though is that a professional sportsman is living in a different environment with different expectations. It might not be fair, but...

And yet they will monopolise the public broadcast along with Reds.

What an awesome game to look forward to!

1 Brumbies 2 Reds 3 Force 4 Rebels 5 Waratahs Complete guess though.

As far as I am concerned, any board member who did not stand up to Clyne (all bar one WA-er) deserve the same condemnation. That is all we need to understand of Sherry, Marlow and Broderick. Sukkar was actually the “expert” who brought nominees to the Board as possible members, completely...
