TOCC is correct. It's what caught out Toua and the Brumbies. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/act-brumbies-hope-to-strike-deal-with-aru-on-aidan-touas-super-rugby-future-20170711-gx8r0q.html There were other players like Ah-Wong and potentially Alcock and Smiler that were...

Based on the accepted fact that rumour and innuendo counts as evidence here; and excluding hot-tub related "things", recent history has Higgers in the valley drawing attention to himself, Ready told to train away until he curbed the partying ways, Frisby similar and suggestions Quade may have...

What does it mean? He was busy trying to make a donation in to the nearest charity bin and fumbled his cash roll while getting it out and his "travel vitamins" fell on a random bag of white powder next to a random bloke who phone just so happened to showed he is most likely a dealer? (A) He has...

Good top see that Rugby's new mantra is catching on and supporting the traditional views. The new less is more now compliments the keep the old dysfunctional and protect the amateur game at all costs mindset at the expense of professionalism, revenue generation, expansion and relevance.

As per my comment in the Reds forum, what a fantastic combined welcome, Christmas and New Year starter for the Castle as she takes the helm of RA. Nice early season tester to set the tone.

The thought and generosity of the Reds is amazing and always hard to beat. It can only ever be matched by its unpredictability. :) I am also amused and impressed that in nearly every script that emanates from the Reds there is a carpark involved. What a fantastic combined welcome, Christmas...

It always good to keep with tradition and heritage and it has its place. Its good that the Brumbies allegedly engage with the fans (those one they actually did) but i wonder if they would have been better placed to ask the 25%+ of the ex-members they lost over the previous year about what...

That is great news for RA and the game in general. The money the the Vic Government paid RA to use to help pay the way for the Rebels could be off-set marginally by the alleged new sponsorship. But most likely that will be consumed by covering the salary cap overspend .

Winning and tribalism certainly are bedfellows. But the glaring lesson here is the failure to listen to the tribe and fear of change. I find it interesting that the the changes stopped when Jones was disposed of and its no coincidence that the tribalism waned and dropped back to a core group of...

I agree with you TOCC. I think the Women's side does represent a good investment (more so than the mens) and its a big positive. I think what irks me is again the lack of transparency on how outside factors (AKA the funding by Josephine and Foxtel via the Government grant) have assisted to make...

^^ I think the point your missing is that RA had no intention nor plan to run a women's 15. The above $30mil was handed over in May. Buildcorps sponsorship of the NRC was withdrawn in June after the ARU publicly stated that it had no intentions. I would suggest that this intuitive may have been...

Most realise that magic is in fact just illusion. About 12 months ago the Buildcorp money was still not enough for the the ARU to be able to launch a Women' s 15 comp due to financial issues. Now all of a sudden they can. For the record I support the evolution of the women's game. IIRC Foxsports...

Just cant get some out the door. So then its back to the obligatory chair swaps from one to another who showed he couldn't deliver in the past. Merry-go-round. "Brumbies match-day revenue dropped from $1.878 million in 2016 to $1.328 million this year". OUCH! In fairness is there was one less...

To be with his wife.

Good payout from Reds / RA and it will soften the blow nicely. If he ended up over the ditch would Izzy follow?

Whats to say? Has there been anything formally announced? Would you want the ARU and QRU to know what your doing if your in Quade's position? Do you know if RUPA is doing / not doing anything? Being quiet is exactly what they need to be doing. All the scrutiny is on the QRU and ARU so why would...

That's the fun part of this. I can see both the QRU and ARU in court and not on the same side depending on how the cards fall. The ARU could blame the QRU and take action as I believe that the ARU have the "header" contact.

The key is in the wording; sent to. He still need to be provided a workplace. Where the game is played is an extension of his workplace for a short period. The balance (majority) of time is what is the key issue. The simple questions to be asked are is are they provided access to all facilities...

From a legal prospective he is better off to be looking like the aggrieved worker who wants to work but has been the victim of adverse action in case he needs to take formal actions. But in reality the Reds have prevented him from being in the workplace so he can't work. Its a fairly simple...

It was good to see Twiggy supporting ARU (RA) employees!
