Awesome, that’s a solid 9-10-12 punch.

Yep some much needed aggression and athleticism to a fairly tame and laboring pack.

Intention is for Goddard to be the back up. He will get a full NRC campaign in and minutes off the bench next year. Don’t be surprised to see some links with K Hunt even if they retain Meakes.

He’s still quick but has lost a step on what we would remember him (he’s not chasing down a winger in a World Cup group game). He is however more likely to ride a tackle in the collision better than the past.

He’s a different player than many will remember him. Has bulked up a lot, not as quick as he used to be and not as twinkle toed. Considerably more direct as well. He’d be playing 12 or 15. A Brad Thorn preseason could completely change the frame tho, to more SH specific from the bigger NH bodies

Amazing how every journalist in the country and every poster on here with decent contacts failed to hear about this meeting. No saying I don’t believe you but I’m also saying I have no reason to believe this post either. In other news the club on the edge of oblivion signed Rob Leota to a new...

The a league isn't the best example. For starters the money is subdivided into 10 professional teams + the socceroos and the professional W-League team (which rugby doesn’t have this expense) it also includes the cost of running the FFA cup. Rugby is subdivided into 4 professional teams + the...

Will still need 2 scrum half’s to join the squad for next season and highly unlikely White (if he does sign) would play any games

In a sign that Goddard might be staying, I saw him and Wilkin at K-Mart Richmond the other day buying home wares and sheets. lol. Hardly the behavior of two guys, if they were moving on haha

I think Hosea will come straight into the 23. He’s one of the most physically developed players in the current u20s. His strength in contact while in defense would be something that the team desperately needs. Next season I’d like to see 1. Sa’aga 2. Uelese 3. Ainsley 4. Philip 5. RHP 6. Jones...

I expect to see him back in Aus. He actually had a solid year for them, would be a decent pick up

I think the model will eventually go that way as clubs up North become richer. The issue we have at the moment is we are caught in no mans land with lots of money up north but not enough to splash for transfers. Enough though to create a divide. We’d be better off the clubs become stinking...

There has been talk about this for a couple of years. It wouldn’t surprise me if he remains this season but beyond expect to see him in blue with his mate Angus moving to the Tahs post his NRL contract. I see RA has dismissed the stupid clickbait talk about reducing teams. So let’s put any of...

Agreed mate. I know as a fact much of this speculation is a load of shit. Why do people say this stuff??? Yes there has been unceremonious departures (just like every work place I have ever worked in), but the majority has been mutual understanding of where they are in their careers and also the...

The Japanese season from next year will now collide with Super Rugby. It basically means the end of dual contracts which as we are seeing is creating a tidal wave towards the cash in Japan. Sad to see Tuipulotu go, I have big wraps on him. Just like with Debreczini, I hope he thrives in the...

You’re playing into this shitty/lazy journalism hands here. Just ignore it, it’s nothing more than clickbait and should be treated as such. Nothing is coming from RA and there is absolutely no way the players union would allow it to happen again in such a short time frame. Plus the damage...

The whole back row was sublime. McReight player of the tournament Locks immense, Hosea and Wood were the catalyst for most of the choke tackles. Wood is incredible with his ball carrying and Hosea is a maul wrecker. Both centres had their best game yet, superb in contact and both exposed the...

The LH is a gun as well. Might need to work abit on his scrummaging but the rest of his game is top notch

Yeh the Japanese ship has all but sailed, especially in a domestic structure. Perhaps some collaboration in a cup structure would be possible but the Top League restructure has put the nail in the coffin.

The Reds are the equivalent of the Broncos, Titans, Cowboys, Suns, Lions and Roar. They are a team not derived from any specific location. They play in a specific location but the moment professionalism arrived they became a location for anyone looking for an opportunity. If you reverted back to...
