Who is Peter Hewitt? Lleyton's cousin?

Status is such a vexed concept, I mean there's "good" status, and then...

And your broadcast revenues are so massive.

Hence my question...

Quite easily, would be my guess.

Probably bought 3 to keep up appearances.

I'm shocked at this possibility. Shocked, I say.

The rankings go beyond 10th in the world...

To be fair, most of the targets discussed were good young rugby players. But any we chase are going to eat big chunks of money, that's true.

Fuck, I had not even thought of this aspect. Good point. Although WR (World Rugby) have flagged they will do the draw closer to 2027 than they did with this one, so not likely early 2024.

So you do get it...

Not sure if serious but about 0% chance of any of those...
