"Not woke" = extremely racist? Yes, very racist comments.... not justifying just pointing out the absurdity of the situation that apparently Matera would be a great get for the Tahs despite his sins, yet IF is still not able to sign if he wanted to. "As a teenager" = representing his country...

There was no way the Tahs could sign him, don't forget Matera was recently caught out for being 'not woke' for something he wrote on social media as a teenager... remember what happened to the last Tahs player who offended the woke.... he's still doing time in France.

Not a bad idea, you could also see if Daugunu, Vunivalu, Droasese and Eru want to go home for a few weeks to Fiji, Wilson, BPA and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) want to head to NSW for a few weeks? Or even Hunter Paisami off to Melbourne for a few too? Just jokes...... ;)

What many people on here tend forget is that Naisarani and other PI players come from a background of living in small island villages many of which are lucky to have electricity let alone the many luxuries we take for granted. A fair chunk of their income goes straight back to their families and...

Would love to see"a few" of the Wallaby capped Fijian players in the Drua team. Players like Sefa Naivalu, Eto Nabuli, Samu Kerevi, Naiyarovoro, Naisarani, Valetini with them still being eligible for Wallaby duty... not all of them at the same time mind you, they'd probably beat everyone!!! :D

Muirhead I really rate as a rugby player, unfortunately way too many in the bigger, stronger, faster category ahead of him for a wing slot. I wish he'd made a switch to halfback earlier in his rugby career.... he would be a bloody handful in that spot. Has all the skills plus real speed and agility.

Any one of the Brumbies Locks Neville/Frost/Swain or even Timani would be a huge win for NSW... considering the first 2 are Sydney boys as well... Solomone Kata would also solve a problem and is not in the Brumbies best back 3 of Wright/Banks/Muirhead.. Kerevi would also be an excellent get...

The tahs need to fill just 4 slots to improve the squad to the point where they are contenders again..... Dominant Tighthead x 2 so we can push HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) back to LH. One of the Argies would have been a great start.. XXL Rock Crushing Lock x 1..... enter Arnold/Skelton/Coleman or even Timani? Large...

Simone's hard ceiling is Super Rugby without question IMO. I'd have Stewart, Paisami, To'omua all in the Wallaby team in front of him. Nothing personal, but the bloke has had a few highlights but doesn't bring anything to the table that would have him in front of the other 3 mentioned. Anyway, we shall...

Agree re LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), he's been pedestrian... Can't go with Lolosia, Ikitau or Banks. Very good players, but JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua bump them out. I think the backline below has more punch and experience at this stage. I think Banks shines at Super Rugby but doesn't look good at the next level. Also think Wright has...

IMO a big part of the tahs 'getting their shit together' is the current players buying in as being part of the solution.... putting pen to paper at fair market value rather than go to the papers trying to up their value. That stuff can/should be played out behind closed doors. If all he sees...

Looks like we are in for another Smith/Waugh/Croft type golden era of opensides with the Pooper handing over to McReight, Tizzano and Liam Wright who I personally view as more of a 7 than 6. One slot that the wallabies have never been wanting for.

Doubt you'll be seeing Paisami whilst Wessels is anywhere near the coaching box..........

However there is also the possibility to consider that if built properly from day 1, it might actually make some money and turn a profit after a couple of years, so investment rather than handout thinking.. Also additional TV revenue from Stan due to more content, bigger crowds, big future cash...

Purely based on Santa Claus logic.... but you never know!

Could probably do it If he felt like it..... $24 Billion AUD.....

I'd be rapt if we could end up with 2 eight team conferences in Aust and NZ. Aust existing 5 plus a 2nd Qld team, Western Sydney and one more from either Fiji/Japan/Singapore/HK. An international Marquee player for each team... plenty of o/s interest NZ existing 5 plus 3 more from...

Seriously.... no-ones making excuses for Penney at all.... however if you're stepping into a train wreck it's reasonable to acknowledge the state of affairs at the time you come in and make your judgements accordingly. Gibson and Hore inherited the nucleus of a title winning side, arguably the...

If you're purchasing budget is 20% less than your competitors your going to get a corresponding reduction in playing strength.... it's not that complicated. That can be either slightly improved by astute selection or slightly worsened by poor selection, but either way you're not going to be able...

Exactly........Just like I make all the purchasing decisions at my place.... ..............................as long as we have the cash available................... and my wife says ok...!
