Rugby Australia would probably be in a much better place financially if they were able to capitalise on the SGM market in the same way the NRL & AFL has. There is definitely somewhat of a link between the increase in viewership of the NRL and market offerings by gambling companies/the SGM...

If you’ve actually watched Flook play over the last two seasons you’d delete this.

Any Sydney siders have any insight as to how ticket sales are going/any word on what kind of crowd we might see?

It was removed, he was immediately red carded and I presume has been suspended by now. No mention of the illegal clean out and the grubby shove that preceded the punch though?

AFL has done a good job of removing that kind of shithousery from the game when a player commits a free kick, would like to see the great game look to somehow penalise players doing what the Brothers #21 did. Would expect nothing less from the Filth though, whilst grubby, almost certainly won...

Thought O'Connor was good in the 2nd half, Wilson obviously the stand out off the bench followed closely by Fines-Leleiwasa. Flook also always seeming to end up in the position to finish off backline moves shouldn't be dismissed either. Genuinely thought Foley would be a class above in this...

And reversed the penalty, Swinton is a muppet.

Anyone got a count on how many times Foley has dropped the pill?

I’m embarrassed to admit I thought you were arguing for Jake Gordon to play at 10 for some reason. Agree now is the time to throw Carter on the bench and see what happens.

By the looks of it there’s 3 AIC reps amongst the two teams. At least when I was at school over, it was a good achievement to get 1 AIC player into QLD 1 or 2. I could be wrong, but aren’t the teams selected from the Met east/west etc trials that happened during the AIC season? If so GPS...

Same reason the kiwis always get the calls their way, presumed better team gets the benefit of the doubt.

How on earth was that ever awarded as a try, could see it live it wasn’t close.

The Tahs sure are helping them…but O’Keefe week after week showing he can’t correctly interpret a ruck correctly

The TMO has all that time whilst they sort out Hooper and doesn’t intervene for leading with the head…

Nice of SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) to provide any kind of specific examples to dispute what the Reds are saying. Major cop out, just don’t see why the reds players (or just HW) would just make something like that up, even though they are probably pretty frustrated from the continued lack of action after Reds players...

It’s all well and good to focus on the open age group, but eventually those 14’s are in Year 11 & 12 and if you don’t put the time or effort in to develop them, if they’re not natural talents, they won’t win…

Always the Force

I'm very much of the opinion you never want last years premiers to repeat and of course the yearly edict of anyone but Ashgrove so hoping Padua keep up their winning ways.

Do professional players really need a rest after 12 rounds? Understand the travel argument but I don’t recall Aussie teams resting players all that often when we used to play the Saffas. Irrespective, I’m very glad I stayed up to watch this game on Sat night.

Always good to see a close comp. Certainly not out of the realm of possibility that Villa get up over Padua and with Marist finding form Laurie’s will have to be at their best when they clash in a couple of weeks time. If both go through undefeated it will set up a great clash to decide the...
