From a rugby perspective, the players will lack opportunities in Japan. I’m not 100% on the rules over there but I know there is a maximum amount of foreigners allowed on the field at once, it’s only around 2-3. So teams have 5/6 foreigners and their season is relatively short (only around 12-14...

Piccone sees this as an opportunity to be the big dog in the Australian market, for a new world where players move overseas. As for the continued reporting of 60% pay cut, that’s only for a portion of the year as it currently stands, my understanding it’s only 25% if the salaries resumes to...

Yep always says Kellaway has interest from Japan but wants to stay. The rumors to the US are interesting, even with a recalibration of the salaries there will still be more to earn here than there at present. Hooker and blindside are prob the 2 positions best suited to be replaced with Uelese...

Yeh Coles in another article saying players at French clubs are suffering massive wage cuts and little interest is coming from them, then Halloran dumping shit on the game again. Infact I see it as a good thing, it’s showing she has little to write about this week. Players will go, however...

I’m fairly happy with the system now, however I’d get rid of the grandparent rule. Any switching back I’d support on a condition they had a 3yr stand down period and had played less than 10 games. The Nonu’s etc. of the world shouldn’t be allowed to switch, it should be in place for players...

Before we talk about the amount of employees the question needs to be asked what defines the employees in the counts? Game day staff that work 5hrs a week? Full time staff? We also have to be cautious for what we ask for, we complain about the amount of staff but then equally complain about...

Apologies I thought you were meaning less as a whole

Less is more is a fallacy. There isn’t a successful sporting competition or sport in the world that is relevant with this model. Football is jam packed, NRL/AFL are crammed, NBA is stacked (82 games), Baseball is bordering on ridiculous, cricket is a 12month game, even the NFL has 32 teams and a...

Very good article from Wayne Smith out now on the 3 reds players. Worth the read

I know the length of the season is an issue for super teams, 6/7 games isn’t enough to balance the books. You’re also 100% correct with the engagement part.

That’s per year

Some saying he’s interested in heading to the Tahs, so maybe time to start looking for a player swap from them.

Yeh, I’m finding a few people I know on fixed term contracts have extreme circumstances stand down clauses, where technically the business doesn’t have to pay them a cent and equally the employee doesn’t have to work. Obviously no idea if players contracts are similar but I’d think there would...

Not one of those reason has anything to do with a persons mental ability to interpret who qualifies for something. I’m not defending super rugby at all, infact I think it’s stupid to have a competition that is over so many timezones. But that’s a completely different question to the make up of...

Personally I think the model has been used as an excuse than a reason. We can’t all be that dumb to be the only population in the world that can’t understand different technical elements of a draw. The US system is very convoluted compared to what we have and I’d like to think we have equal...

I have played at brothers, Souths, Uni of QLD, there would of been lucky to be a few 100 people there to watch. The majority of the crowd as well was the previous grades staying around for the beers. Plus a question that never gets asked. What happens to the comps that these teams are dragged...

Douglas isn’t eligible for Wallabies as far as I can remember. He moved to Aus 4yrs ago and played local club rugby in Melb for a season, has moved around the states since but went back to Edinburgh at a point in time to play on a short term deal which would reset his residency period over...

Agreed. Plus a baabaas team is destined for failure. It needs a home, I’d rather have a tough pill to take by not having a team than having some Frankenstein like mash up team without a home. My other issue with having 3/2 teams and kiwis having 5. What happens if we hit a point where we become...

Can we also note in the proposed all states sides, who’s contributing the majority of the talent despite been known as an area that produces not much compared to a certain area that apparently is producing plenty . Btw that’s a joke for anyone about to throw daggers at me. Lol

Naisarani is a QLDer/Fijian Lolesio is a QLDer Could play Faulkner (Vic), Sa’aga (Vic), Ainsley (WA) and Longbottom (WA) as front row options instead of SA products Tizzano (WA), Leota (Vic), Hardwick (WA) I’d actually be keen to see a pregame WA v Vic if any SOO was mentioned. And the ACT...
