I have always found the not releasing law to be interesting, how does he get both hands on the ball if he has not released the tackle?

Maybe to recruit or retain players we do need to allow the Force and Twiggy to spend what they want on their team, but have a "luxury tax" where for every dollar above the salary cap means that they have to pay a set amount of money to the other Australian teams that they can also use.

It is odd that it is still an argument. The cold hard fact is that we are simply not as good as NZ at Rugby. We are not as good as Brazil at Soccer, USA at Basketball etc We accept similar situations in other sports and can handle it, we need to accept it for Rugby and just get on with doing...

I must have watched a different Jock, he was playing two positions tonight and was competent in both, most of the team was not up to the standard required. The Reds had that game when the Canes were down a player, for the rest of the game it was just like last year, we do not have what is...

As long as it is 50, I will be 95 and probably wont remember the great days of mountaineering at a breakdown

Maybe only allow a maul to score a try if it is started outside of 15m to the line, if within 15m then a pass must be completed before the try?

Sportsbet have the Hurricanes by 8.5. They have total match points at 54.5. Meaning they predict approximately 31-23. I hope the Reds get to within 7 to get a bonus point.

CuzzyBro?

I also do not think he is a grubby player but even non grubby players can put someone in a spinal unit. The decisions on the field should not be affected by a players history, only when it comes to the penalty.

It will work out, pretty sure within 5 minutes of the game starting that Tim Horan will rave about how Creighton must be on Rennies radar and was unlucky to miss the recent Wallabies camp.

I wonder if the Reds are still linked to Panasonic Wild Knights? Option B may be a good idea so the Reds can keep him. https://reds.rugby/news/2020/12/21/queensland-reds-partner-with-japanese-powerhouse-panasonic-wild-knights

Fox would be crazy not to put in a bid, even if it not a huge one, it may force Stan to pay too much and if Fox win they could just broadcast the minimum. Use the international feed for all but Wallabies games and then just commentate from Australia using the same international feed. This would...

I prefer watching Kaitu'u but cannot really separate them as players at this stage of their career. I think Kaitu'u has more chance of improving if exposed to International play and if he doesn't work out FF (Folau Fainga'a) is a pretty decent stop gap measure.

Imagine what would be said about any coach who does not want their team to play better opposition, they would be attacked for being gutless and would probably lose their job. I don't think any coach would be brave enough to say they would prefer to play against other teams and not NZ teams for...

I assume the plan is to have a version of this round in NZ next year that will be timed on what NZ teams prefer so it will even out.

I want to play the same 4 teams, then play Kiwi / Japanese / Pacific Island teams afterwards. I want an Australian champion team each season.

I think the Aussie teams may get 5 wins in the crossover, 2 x REDS, 2 x BRU and 1 x TAH. Maybe 1 surprise win for each of these teams. I don't hold much hope for REB and FOR though. Any win for them would be great. It is pretty hard to get motivated for a couple of months of losses, would...

I didn't realise you were a national selector

I always thought CFS was lucky to be re-signed due to his injury issues while at the Reds.

we cant afford to select players who don't put their team first :D.
