French were reporting a 2yr contract. If only we could find another $500k on all the teams Super Rugby salary caps. Would be able to offer another 3-4 players in our squads another $100k+ each a year to stay.

Don’t know what Cummins has done wrong this year as well. Been solid every time he’s played. Scrum last week dominated after a number of weeks of going backwards with a lightweight locking pair

He’s done a couple of club related appearances lately and doesn’t appear to be in the wider training squad with the others. I’d strongly suggest injury but no official clarification. All the clubs both sides of the ditch are soon poor with this kinda info. Injuries and staggered line up...

Rumours going around that Bernard Foley will sign for San Diego Legion in the MLR. Surprisingly he’s on 31. If he is looking for a new spot the Force could do a lot worse than bring him in for a year or two until Pasitoa is ready to take over. McIntyre isn’t good enough

Most relevant thing for the top 14 this week is if Pau get a win and Bayonne lose in their last game, Matt Philip will be available for the French tests, otherwise he will miss the entire series due to relegation playoff matches

Just a small thing to note. Looking at the latest Samoa squad announced not seeing Rob Leota in there indicates to me that he will be back in Aus maybe sooner than later. Given his form he would of been a shoe in especially considering it has a distinct Aus/NZ flavor to it. Would love to see him...

I don’t think any player would have any issues with Rodda. Not saying none of them wouldn’t of liked him to stay around, that’s a given but I don’t think any would harbor an discontent or anger.

I always rated Sione. Felt he could of done a great job at 13 long term for the Rebels. His brother is a talent above him and with the family eligible for 4 different countries will need to give him opportunities at some stage as well to show his wares otherwise another country will snap him up...

I propose a motion that anyone that mentions 2 teams gets 6 game suspension with 50% reduction if they plead they don’t understand how that would create political warfare in Australia that would kill the game off Also a 6 game suspension for anyone that mentions a format that doesn’t include a...

I think we will see Gordon on the bench. He’s been sensational in a shit team. Form has been career best, I also think his best currently is better than what White and McDermott can offer. White tactically will be selected because he plays the perfect game for test footy and his kicking is...

Agree with the latest Gold Digger podcast when they talk about him. He’s not good enough for Super Rugby yet but too good for SS. Prime example of needing games at a level between the two competitions or for NSW to be playing more games but against weaker opposition than the kiwi level to gain experience...

Happy to take him at the Rebels if he was deemed surplus to requirements at the Tahs. Kid has some attributes you just can’t teach. His main weakness atm is he’s a dumb footballer

Pone is a TH and won’t be near the team. He’s been okay when not injured or suspended this year but okay isn’t good enough for wallabies

He’s alright in contact with the ball, he just has some absurd need to offload everything and anything. Positionally in defense he’s shocking. Cant overly tell if he’s okay in defensive contact or not because he’s always caught in the cold and having to make a flailing arms tackle or just...

Catch is if you did that, you make the FFR weaker and the clubs would become even more powerful. Wouldn’t surprise me to see this moved to a 2 test series and Australian organizing another test against one of the PI opponents

Tonga, Fiji and Samoa all playing in NZ at same time. Could look to bring them over

Hodgey will end up no.1

You never will know that number.

The data is never accurate for FTA. What happens is around 1000 households in Australia have a computer attached to it that records what they watch at night and then translates that into the data. So those households entirely dictate the figures. Unless you have a box it won’t matter if you tune...

Magnay ruled out. Our midget backline will resume again
