The suggested draw dates has 2 rounds before Easter but 5 general byes, the last between round 14 and the first week of finals. Finals back to a top 4 played over 3 weeks. Personally I think it is too many byes, the clubs have been asked to discuss with their committees and provide feedback.

I hope so - incentive based 12 month contract with potential for extension if he achieves certain result.

There was comment that there were too many byes - my understanding was that the format isn't finalised and the competition manager was going to get further feedback from the clubs.

I think John McKee is doing a good job with the 15's and Ben Ryan turned out OK for the 7's. Overall on the coaching front i think the FRU is doing OK - I would take McKee for the Wallaby's job

I think the timing is right to pull the trigger on Cheika - It will cost a bit but not as much as it would have done six months ago. I like the idea of offering White a short term incentive based contract from now until the end of the world cup - big bonuses and automatic extension if we win...

Given the score line that last penalty was the most obvious, stupidest, dumbest penalty I've seen in a while. I'd be happy to drop him for that alone...

Interesting article on The Roar by Nick Bishop looking at our defensive patterns, coming to the same conclusion that the majority here come to about Nathan Grey's plan. Not sure why or how is permitted to stay in the role and surely the same questions would have been asked in the big meeting...

I am disappointed by the non-event of the Western Sydney team in WSR :( For me the NRC next year could be RA Supported Brumbies Rebels Reds Waratahs WSR Supported Force Western Sydney WR (World Rugby) Supported Drua Samoa/Tonga Post 2020 we have the making of something we can sell to TV viewers with...

I'm sure Twiggy could organise some insurance. I don't think the Fiji, Hong Kong, Singapore Unions would risk joining a rebel league especially with Fiji already in the world cup and Hong Kong still in with a chance to qualify. I doubt the existing Japanese clubs would do the same and be...

They can't prevent the establishment of a new league - however if they don't sanction it the players will not be eligible to play in any WR (World Rugby) sanctioned event (international rugby) WR (World Rugby) also would not supply referees therefore they would also need to become rebels and also give up on any...

I agree the whole set up needs a massive shake up - I don't think going back NSW & QLD holding all the power with one rep from 'other states' is the answer... We have too many layers of governance - especially in NSW (for a country club it is Zone, NSW Country, Waratahs, RA)

Agree that a new 9-10-12 combination should be used. Longer term I don't mind the idea of KB (Kurtley Beale) on a wing if Foley/To'omua works. The forwards should be doing a fair bit of line out work this week. 1. Sio 2. BPA/Latu/Fainga'a (Whoever does best at line out training) 3. Tupou 4. Arnold 5. Coleman...

What happened to Angus Allen from last season, he started a couple of matches and was in the squad every week I think?

Big gloves

Only on the live stream at 1:00

I know, I really torn as to which game to watch - Supporting the Eagles but this could be too good to miss... Why do they have to be on at the same time???

RA sign off maybe?

To drive down viewer numbers to show that the comp isn't worth paying for in the long run or that they don't ever have the expense of having full broadcast for the 2 extra matches???

He has played a handful of NRL matches over 4 years - I don't think he is top line talent - very random

Yeah I just looked the schedule and there are clashes almost every week... The first part of my post stands though - it is a complete cluster fuck. There are only 4 matches each round and RA cant manage to organise them to be played so people can watch each one.
