When I first saw the team sheet I was frustrated by the change at 10 but since then I've come to realize it's more of a much up thing, changing the picture for a different style of side. I wouldn't be suprised if it also has something to do with not wanting to burn out Zaccy in the first couple...

yeah exactly. The logic is to sort of 'lockdown' a side pretty accurately 2 years out. The process to get there like you say could involve multiple players

The prodigal son is gone

go to GAINLINE Analytics - pretty sure it's in one of their latest reports

also just allows them to keep Beale fresh which I have always felt was an issue. Usually towards the end of a campaign/year carrying some injuries due to being so essential. Could really allow Beale to thrive

I'm thinking a big fish. Like a fish that weighs over 120kg.

Data has proven that the whole concept of 'the four year cycle' actually doesn't work. It's roughly a 2 year block leading into the world cup that is the most important for keeping a group together and building cohesion Bloody players before they are ready can have negative impacts on both...

Idk about Ma'afu. Really hasn't played much proper rugby in reality. Played some Qld u20's and Aus u20's but has played only around 10 QPR games and didn't tear it up like some of the other squad members. Not denying he could be good, but definitely not Super Rugby ready IMO.

Sorry I could be wrong but everyone was mentioning that he was playing for wests. Could just be management talk though!

Pillar to Post also work with RugbyPass with some article writing as well as the pod. Love their work

Sorry wouldn't that be right? Turning 20 this year also make him eligible

Just re the Tongan Thor thing, I seriously saw him down there like 2 days ago so he's definitely at Wests

Tongan Thor is at Wests along with the Skelton boys

yeah I must be mising something because I just haven't seen it. I know when he played 2nds Colts they would bring him on in 5 minute spells because he had impact/couldn't go longer than that, and when he moved up to the 1sts Colts they did the same. In saying that he was punching out decent...

Without being disrespectful to Zander, having watched him play all of his rugby his whole life he is not a Super Rugby standard squad member in my opinion Great fella who is well liked but was pushed up the grades at Norths and into 1st grade because of their lack of depth. Was then selected...

Hey sorry to change subjects but is Mac Grealy signed to the Reds in any form of academy or development contract? I usually hate talking about kids who just finished school but I think it's urgent that he is put with them. I've been watching schoolboy rugby for many years now and he is the 2nd...

The 7's program is based in Sydney and he's from there. Let him go and get something in return. I might be out of the loop but I swear he signed a contract extension last season? If so, I just don't get it. Why sign the extension when you know you're wanting to leave? Common issue in other sports.

Joey Manu has a little brother who plays left centre and by all reports is just as good. They also have Billy Smith. I'd say they would let him go for salary cap relief. The thing about Mitchell is that for someone so talented he doesn't provide consistency to be a highly paid player and his...

given current stocks, unlikely Zane will start or even bench for a while but definitely in contention for a wider training spot given there is a shortage of props. A prop from Norths is in the wider group that is fairly strange given his quality in comparison to others.

I'm hoping he spends most of the year playing Premier Grade tbh. Probably not ready for Super Rugby yet mentally when compared to McReight and some others. Again very talented but still growing into his body and wouldn't b able to be in most match day squads. Would be ridiculous to ruin such a...
