Not rugby, not RA, not on topic.

Not rugby, not RA, not on topic.

How much have we veered from this? Mods, if this is to be allowed to continue can we have a completely separate "IF and IF haters" thread? Knock yourselves out guys - somewhere else.

Thanks Quade for everything you have given.

This.

It offers supposed opportunity for everyone but Australia. It commits possibly in perpetuity RA to a non-National footprint and a confused approach to WA and GRR. What am I missing?

Thanks WCR need to wrap my head around that. Knee jerk reaction is a desire for RA to get out quick with a domestic comp. But it is a knee jerk.

^^^ Sorry, 2x 9 team divisions? Could you expand?

Quite like that media tussle. Decent coverage, adds some interest. For what its worth both have PBs that surely relate to training full time for track, not full time for 7s which you would hope they are doing now. Go Quadzilla. :-)

I like this. We should understand the comment/criticsm from Dan (and I think) R3 is fair. There would be a quality drop and this would have an impact through to the WBs. I don't however think it would be a substantive drop in the comp itself - more important to have a system that tries to...

I wish all the best to NZRU and Crusaders on this. Good luck guys.

Cyclo, my comprehension skills must be slow. I read at least a firm implication that was watering down the Clyne issue on the back of involvement by others. If you're simply saying there are more deserving than simply Clyne, it seems like agreement with the general thrust here.

Can only agree that the board should not be offered a free pass. In the mean time - Clyne.

Of course - throw a few more logs on the fire. Clyne is the only one that really matters here, but we can find room for the rest. What we actually need is the purgative i was talking about. We need it out, public, railed at. And done. Leave it buried and it WILL continue over the years...

I don't think I'd be complaining hugely much seeing Clyne spit roasted. Slowly. Sometimes there is a need for a cathartic purgative. If this isn't it then when? If you're thinking "never" I'm not sure I agree.

I always thought Thorn was elevated way too early. For me his first 2 years were always going to be throw-aways. He is here now though and we are certainly seeing that a really good foundation has been laid. So unlike most in the post-link era we actually have something positive out of the...

Unlikely that we will ever know for sure, but if it's true it is a truly extraordinary situation.

I don’t subscribe to the Australian so haven’t seen the presser that concerns you. But I did read (same paper) a couple of days ago Stookes quoted as saying that Castle had opened up board nominations from outside of the nominations committee to allow the States to put forward nominations...

Well there's a problem with Super rugby to start with.(Yes the chat just gets circular.) How much would it impact the broadcaster for RA to hold rights to stream replays 24 hours after the game? Still a problem? 48?

This. I don't think I'd like it. Balancing fitness training - only for the players with top ups - OK but I run out of things I'd be happy about shortly thereafter. I doubt I'd be happy with a WB dictate as to where LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), JOC (James O'Connor) or Lucas plays.
