I believe the NZ NPC has shown teams can play 3 games in a fortnight if its s shortened comp. I think the full games as they are would work; albeit with some rule tweaks if desired. One being around subs to better manage player workload. BBL has the free wicket keeper replacement (via injury)...

No you were not! You made a blanket statement and played the man all at once: I guess you going to write out the $30 mill checque for the said teams mst?? Even in your attempt to back away from your words you still try to use you don't help yourself by using more Super Rugby reference which are...

Mate. we will just blindly follow you Kiwi's as always! Hi Silverlake......... As per above, care to share the details about the current funding and revenue sources? Be good to if you can also include how we funded the NRC teams previously. Feel free to pick any of them as they were all run...

Yeah. That Tasman Turd just wont flush! But the silver lining: SRAU MKII. I say let just get the 3 NRC type teams up and running. One up north (QLD) and 2x drawn from down south and west (Canberra, Melbourne and WA and even some Pacific / Fiji players and ring-ins). An 8 team SRAU could be...

I think G'Rob referred to them as the Canberra Mafia. I also believe it was part of the reason Jones was "exited". UC might have benefited, and as for the ROI on the 131 high end apartments approved via Government call in powers.......o_O

WR (World Rugby) can do a lot to help themselves by simply maintaining that live sport be live, limit the TV feed on to the big screens at the stadiums, and mandate that replays of decisions live at the ground especially around cards and try's be delayed so it does not allow trial by broadcaster on the big...

If we loose any of our starters aside from CFS and possibly Clark (and I am being optimistic), it certainly will be the "B-" team options. And with so many "silver foxes", backing up over a few weeks will be challenging for those more mature players and may pull us down. I am not feeling very...

Sorry, but Mogg on the wing. Hilarious! 2022 Brumbies = #Dadsarmy

Significant loss. Now puts us light on wingers.

I love these debates and the critiquing of #10's and future talent in general. There are pages and pages of how QC (Quade Cooper) was a god then fell from the clouds to be a dud, wash up and is our current #10, Foley was a dud despite a Super Rugby title and success with the Wallabies, Mack Mason was the next anointed...

It look like the (IMHO) the stupid line drop out rule has finally got the treatment and may need to be changed.

Ironically we have seen similar in the press over here around the RA - NZRU getting the TT etc sorted out. Seems to ne a common theme here. Even funnier is that the NZRU revenue pigs have met their northern twin. I love that its never about the sport, always the $$$ and what's best for "me"...

Maybe being renowned for endurance issues suggest he should not be a starter. I am intrigued as to why the Wallabies coaching staff and medical staff had not considered they he was so underdone. As you explained, it just simple stuff. Odd. Are you also suggestion the extra fitness regime that...

It depends how you interpret it. I didn't suggest it was illicit, not banned substances. Its also only a theory. I am suggesting in my post that he may be trying to do things to help himself that are actually hurting himself. It common in many athletes and understandable. He could simply be...

Wild yes, but as uncomfortable as it is, when it was put to me by my AFL obsessed brother, its plausible as he is on the injury roundabout but it never seem to happen on training paddock; only in games and the medical staff cant seem to get a handle on it (Reds and Wallabies medico's). I didn't...

My issue with the whole Petaia thing is he has been given more "chances to prove himself" than most other players ever get. It always ends with injury, errors or another fan generated story about what "he could be..." . The hyperbole and fanboi-ism needs to end. He has never delivered, is...

I would keep it but I want to see it refereed using a similar concept and interpretation as a scrum and eliminate the walking / twisting it around. Make it incumbent on the attacking team to keep it straight. If you cant keep it straight or it stops then you have to use it. If it walks around or...

He must have something to offer and I think Rennie can see it. I have noticed he seems to be the chosen water boy for the Wallabies and if you watch him he is pretty involved with the Wallabies backs during games. If you watched the weekends game they showed him talking with some of the backs...

I like that idea and going back to Kata at 13. Simone would be Ok @13 but he is very hot nad cold if he will take contact at the line. When he does he can be really good.

Yeah, no.
