Whatever system they used would alreayd be in place (Like Hooper) Not for us simpletons to determine that level of complexity!

They are working well in NZ - I think emracing a long term deal (but with sabbaticals) is the best way to keep top tier talent available with competitive contracts and without removing current selection restrictions It frees up money to keep the middle tier who we are losing like crazy but...

Technically not a 5 year deal. It was Ponga confirming the last 2 years of his current deal - which he had the option to get out of PLUS 3 years after that. But yes - a long time. Hooper is on a 5 year deal.

99% he will study at oxford or cambridge whilst there. Big time academic.

Flick Hodge out for now. White and Quade on the bench - that is some serious brain power coming on. They would be perfect at analysing play and communicating to the coaches to go on a make a positive change. Petaia is the new super utility - sorry Hodge With Experienced props, Slipper and...

How is droasese going? Or Grealy. Seems a bit of a waste having creighton (reds) a 10, covering the outside backs.

Force need to attract more starting wallabies in order to benefit from the RA topups. Right now they need to pay overs to people to have a shot, to come home or to get out of someone else's shadow. THP is a major problem. First choice is an Argentinean who is leaving and the next is Holmes who...

Shame FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) is rumoured to be leaving - he is a real mainstay for the Force, but unfortunately Super Rugby is just not wealthy enough to keep this 'middle tier' of players when they need to be earning as much as possible once they see that Wallaby honours are no longer a realistic carrot to shoot for any...

Neville wasn't taken over Lee-warner or Anstee - he was taken over Blyth Leota, Wilson & Valetini were taken over Lee-warner and Anstee The backrow is quite settled BUT the 4th or 5th lock spot is not. Now - with Leota injured then yes perhaps they could have given a shoutout to another no.6...

Really don't think the Tahs can afford not to have perese for this game. Start Roberts and rest Foketi and rest Perese for the Drua game

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) is stilla chance for the next round if he keeps having a solid season once returned from injury. I'd have him inthe 'top 4' if not choosing from overseas.

If that's the case it'll likely be Faulkner V Fotuaika. Money on Faulkner

Considering the 3 existing flyhalves in the full time squad are so young (all 22 or younger) it would be tough to show a path for your Academy flyhalf. His brother was it, then left, now he was it, and has left. All good for u18 with gen blue then a season or 2 in the Academy trying to get into...

OMG.. PHIL THOMSON

Brumby Runner - Runs the Brumbies. It's so obvious

Maybe Droasese isn't actually any good and shouldn't be a pro rugby player?

The country needs good hookers and so do the reds - I would just think that the preference would be for them to work together as I'm sure RA wouldn't be thrilled that 3 of our top 4 hookers are/will be overseas and the Reds bring in a ineligible import

I question all aus Super Rugby depth - players on full contracts who should really be development. Teenagers with potential. Potential doesnt win, performance does. Need a balance.

Think it all comes down to what Nadolo is willing to do for X $. If he is happy to come back to Brisbane cheap then yay. In response to another post above - if the Reds should be putting money towards a decent hooker - then they shouldn't be letting Fainga'a walk away or should be trying to...

I like that there is a skull next to Mcreights name instead of (c) - A note on the captains curse I imagine.
