So is Kurtley technically a Tah again or had his contract expired anyway?

I'm guessing the next step would then be each player having a permanent number, rather than a number that reflects their position on the field

Surely there is only one JB. His footwork from the back would have been phenomenal though

Ain't gonna happen. Here's more detail - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-29/act-government-locks-in-bruce-stadiums-future/102537090

Problem is they reckon a new stadium won't fit on that site. The new stadium will be at Bruce again, current discussion is whether it will be a refurb, a knockdown rebuild on the same spot, or build it on a different spot at the AIS (allowing them to still use the current stadium during...

"Warren Gatland has decided not to continue as head coach of the British and Irish Lions, and recommended Andy Farrell as his successor." https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/oct/31/warren-gatland-backs-andy-farrell-for-lions-job-after-ending-run-as-coach-rugby-union

There will still be full houses for the Lions game, just it will be 80% travelling support. That's probably better in regards to the money.

Unless you're busting out the ouija board at a seance that might be a bit tricky

3 premiership games for 2 losses and a win I think. Looks like he's sticking with what's worked in the past:

Obviously we didn't go back far enough into the glorious past with Eddie, here's the new coach right here (in conversation with the new Director of Rugby)

Wasn't that kind of how the old Super 10 worked (at least for the NZ & SA teams) - the top teams from the NPC & Currie Cup played in the following year's Super 10 comp. Maybe we should bring it back - the Reds fans should be keen as they'd be leading the trophy count

In their heyday back in the early 2000's they did draw half-decent crowds, averaging over 20K in some years. They just never came back after some of the leaner years, though I think in part that was just part of the general malaise surrounding Australian rugby for the last 15 or so years. Also...

A high profile NRL convert coming to Canberra? It will never happen. It'll be Tahs or Rebels

Guess this might be an example from closer to home: Though that only really works in a packed stadium. When it's half full it's not quite the same

Doesn’t the money the players earn (and it’s not all of them I think) come from endorsements rather than being paid by the college? And the TV rights deals the colleges sign up to are huge compared to super rugby

I guess if you don’t have to pay your players you can probably put a bit more into your pre-game entertainment

Just sub in Tate or White into this picture for the 2023 version

"RUGBY AUSTRALIA SET TO MAKE PLAY FOR SOUTHS YOUNG GUN - Rugby Australia are set to make a play for Rabbitohs’ rising star Tallis Duncan for a switch to the rival code."...

In 2003 the Eddie Jones coached Wallabies lost to the All Blacks 21-50 then turned it around to beat them in RWC semi. Maybe Eddie’s playing the long game

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but my recollection is that while Hodge has big boot it takes him a while to wind up and he can get charged down a bit more often than you'd like
