Repeat after me: Hockings, Rodda, Lucas. Hockings, Rodda, Lucas. Hockings, Rodda, Lucas. Bust out the cheque book boys.

I also think one of our problems in terms of getting people interested in teams is the players themselves. Our over-reliance on ex-private school players means that we have the fucking blandest, least interesting player base in the history of all time. I went to Shore, and all of the guys in...

To be fair - the way Peter Wiggs has handled this makes me happy to see him leave in a tantrum. Fuck the guy. Follow a process, and part of that process should be that anyone from the postcode 2088 is not eligible to be on the board / CEO.

Bunch of morons. Burn it all down and start again.

If I had a choice between Melbourne or Auckland, I'm choosing Melbourne.

In what world is NSW Country related to Western Sydney?

Well - we've solved it. Northern Sydney Western Sydney The Waratahs Queensland 1 - The Reds Queensland 2 Melbourne Rebels Western Force ACT Brumbies (they take Country NSW as a region) + look to expand to Newcastle, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga. + the stronger of Twiggy's weird Asian teams (e.g...

The problem is that Sydney is so big, that consolidating the Shute Shield done to 2 or 3 teams (the max that the quality of the competition could maintain) for a higher level competition is so hard. Northern Sydney -- Gordon, Eastwood, Norths, Manly, Warringah Western Sydney -- Paramatta...

I’ve seen some players call for a domestic competition, but I wonder what if they have considered the implications of this. Eg To'omua called for a Trans-Tasman competition. I agree it’ll be a far better offering for fans, but what about the players? Team salary caps will be about a third of...

Can we run some sort of poll via the forum and the front page? "Who is your preference to become next CEO of Australian Rugby: (a) Anybody but Phil Kearns (b) Phil Kearns" We can then another field to add comments stating why you chose the option that you chose. Supporting evidence etc...

Imagine if they'd just given Stephen Moore a job without having asked him to go through a proper process with an external recruitment company. Imagine if Lynaghs name hadn't been included against his wishes (kind of?). Then we'd only have 9 ex-Captains who signed, and everyone knows you need...

Cheers Boof1050.

Quiet please the adults are talking, and we're talking with capital letters and proper grammar and neat typing. Back to your colouring book.

You're an idiot. The state unions were consulted in the recruitment process for her role and she was the unanimous pick of the states because of her own merit. Let me be clear: your inability to grasp facts - across all of your statements - shows that this isn't a case of you not knowing...

I wonder if Dave Rennie will stand down now. Imagine that. The old boys network first move might be the loss of the most promising coaching setup the Wallabies have had in 20 years. Oh well. We can always just get one of the boys to do it. Which one? Doesn't matter. Turns out they're all...

When I visit my parents I sometimes share the ferry with Phil Kearns. Next time I see him I'm gonna kick him flush in the nuts. If he becomes CEO, I'm pushing him in the water. Fuck that bobble-headed poster-child for pointless existence.

Fuuuuuuck that. The circus continues.

This. This perspective is something that confuses me. I really don't believe that they contribute much meaningful "development" in 2020. Let's look at Ned Hanigan as an example, who I've heard to be touted as a product of Randwick. He lived in the country until 12 - supposedly never...

It's definitely an exaggeration, but I'm 25 and my close circle of friends is the only circle that I know that gives any fucks about Rugby Union in our age group. A lot of other close circles have drifted from Union to League in the last 5 or so years. Out of the 10 or so of us that get...
