    Anyone else noticing that international interest is starting to build towards the Aus politics in rugby. General opinion appears to be slamming the mafia like tactics of Fox, Kearns, NFJ and co. It appears everyone’s eyes are open to the situation except those that live within the blazer bubble...

    Rebels 2020

    Yeh, I had to shoehorn a few players in there. He came to Melbourne on a working holiday from Scotland and signed up for his local club (Harlequins). Played the season as a bit of fitness and a way to meet new people, then impressed the Melb Rising NRC coach who asked him if he’d like to train...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I was more thinking I need Kyle Godwin in at 12/13. Forgot about him The backrow and backline would more than hold their own against NSW or QLD. Front row stocks not to shabby either

    I don’t particularly like the idea of ‘the rest’ it’s kinda a token team, however this is the best team I could think of from WA and VIC. Not sure where ACT would sit in this. League SOO just counts them as NSW eligible. Combined WA/VIC 1 Hepburn (Exeter) WA 2 Uelese (Rebels) VIC 3 Longbottom...

    Crazy idea time regarding wallaby eligibility going forward. Players are eligible to play for the wallabies under 2 provisions 1) they play in Australia 2) they play overseas but a transfer fee has been paid to RA for their services Point 1 is clear and easy to understand. Point 2 can be a...

    I don’t think the country ideas would work for a longer season. Players wouldn’t appreciate been moved about and no ‘family’ men would sign for the team. Especially if the wages are going to be reduced. It’s a good idea in theory but wouldn’t work. I’d rather lean towards a Newcastle team with...

    As something to occupy time I have been trying to do a genuine VIC rugby side with existing players. Team is made up of players that have come through the Vic system (eg. Played the majority of their junior rugby there) and a few that came from overseas (not to play rugby) but worked their way...

    Japan doesn’t need a single entity as a team. It’s done almost nothing for Argentina (infact their record has gone backwards) and funnily enough did almost nothing for Japan as all their players didn’t play last year prior to WC. They have their competition in the top league and need to stop...

    Players to be released to take up overseas deals if they want and a domestic only product. Welcome to the 1980s

    Fox is going hard in desperate times to get the deal it needs to retain subscribers but knows the Union is in a worse state

    Telegraph reporting Kearns about to take over from Castle. The reporting of late is shocking and feel the old boys network is about to get its claws back on the game more than ever

    I’m surprised that the best news of the day hasn’t been talked about yet. Qantas has guaranteed that they will be honoring their sponsorship deal to the end of 2021.

    Kearns wouldn’t do it for $150k. To put into perspective Plumbers, Electricians, Store managers and people that run individual departments in businesses earn $150k. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good wage but it’s not near enough for a CEO role.

    I second this, the article is fine. It doesn’t say anything disparaging at all. Those that were triggered give yourselves an uppercut and stop been so precious.

    https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/rugby-reloaded/id1358627156?i=1000406189377 I’d start with the other link I have above for the blood and mud podcast he did with them then switch over to Rugby reloaded.

    Actually the RUPA agreement with RA prevents players to have individualized contracts. All players signed must be signed under the same terms and conditions as all other players. It would be something that would have to be renegotiated under the next collective bargaining agreement. Israel Folau...

    Can we break this down into reality. - the fox sports old boy network is white noise. You just have to listen to their dribble to understand this over the years, anyone that doesn’t think so is associated with the small network that would benefit if they did have their say - 72% would be the...

    Foley started performing under his old standard once the rush defense came into fashion, infact almost all Aussie 10s did. I’d say the lack of players that win contact in our teams compared to other teams meant we struggled more they did. We now have some more dynamic talent coming through which...

    Kangaroos Vs Wallabies

    First I heard of him was this pod on the Blood and Mud Rugby podcast, one of the best podcasts I have ever heard (apart from all the GAGR pods) and a must listen for any rugby fan https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/blood-mud-rugby-podcast/id1052346812?i=1000409235196
