Well maybe just some bullet points: - There is collectively more opportunities in those countries then there are in Australia - and while I'm not sure about Ireland, the rest of them allow their players to be picked from anywhere. - Those countries are all in the same competition too and are as...

Beats doing actual work on a weekday

Considering they are realistically two different sports where similar skillsets are applied differently, and his previous experience where he was a genuine top 10 winger in the NRL while at the Storm - I can imagine that a few NRL clubs would be keen on him

So we've established that it's an incredibly complex, layered problem that can't be solved simply or solely blamed on a single failing, person or group?

Or no one wants to do the job for free - and moans at the fact no one is doing the job.

Another element in this is that we Australia being a country of migrants will have this issue pop up quite regularly, whether it be from the Pacific or Europe - you really don't need to look too far to find someone who has parents or Grandparents that we're born OS. I would guess that 50% of...

Or any at all. Lots of respect for Gavin Head but he's effectively a 1 man show.

Maybe a better way to say this is we don't have enough paddocks for our cattle.

Steven Hoiles spoke about this on one of the Stan rugby shows. Every club in Sydney has a Salary Cap of $200K - whether they have that money to spend or not is another thing, but that is their leveller. The challenge is though if you're a prospective player or new Tahs signing looking for a...

I think it was very much a warm up game seperate to the lions - similar to how South Africa played Georgia before their tour. My guess is it’ll be one of the Pacific teams/ Japan if anyone

Roar pod has spoken about RA's efforts to organise a warm up test pre lions against someone - but nothing confirmed. I suspect Schmidt is talking about (and advocating for) that game rather than the XV game

Yeah reading this and remembering that he has a top up for 2025 but someone like liam wright doesn't is shocking. I get the realistic reasons why but it's still hard to fathom. A bloke who tripped someone twice in the same game is getting RA money but someone who has captained the wallabies...

He's not improved enough to justify his place in the 23. We're better off investing in the likes of Ryan, Campbell, Brice than Vunivalu.

And if anything it can do as much to build tribalism as it can destroy it. Plenty of examples of supporters of one team galvanising around the squad in pure spite of someone leaving.

He's been named but left off the graphic

Maybe a bit of size? Experience as well

To answer the inevitable questions of "what's happened with {player}"

Hay Bale Throwing

I disagree on everything other than over the ball (which in a team with pocock and hooper, why is this needed?). Probably even keel at the lineout but otherwise I'd say Valetini's size helps him as a defender while still being agile. And while he's not really used as a link player - his size...
