Yeah I was taking the piss a bit. A lot even. I think a draft is very risky, there would be a net outflow to other codes and/or countries. The draft works in AFL, NBA and NFL because the players don’t have anywhere else to go, they just have to accept their value.

I’ve only seen footage of it being held up but Paul Cully wrote a meltdown piece claiming the rules need to be changed so that commonsense dictates that momentum would have been enough that he surely grounded it.

Yep

Whenever I see a piece like that I just refer back to the Henry Speight call in 2018 firstly, and then to the first ever time wasting call of last year.

The kiwis would just manipulate it to make all 12 teams essentially all blacks feeder teams.

I don't think there's much doubt that the Brumbies should have and will have more representatives in the Wallabies squad than each of the other 4 franchises. I also don't think there's much doubt that Luke Reimer wont be one of them. Sure, he put in a good shift last night, but so did Ned...

I had people over and had the game on in the background - I thought Id watch the replay if it looked like a good game. From what I saw it looked like the Tahs were outplayed as expected, and when I saw a flying headbutt on Hooper that wasn't even looked at that killed any interest in watching...

Kings +9 View +12 New +7

Kings years 11 & 12 are all being bussed out to Joeys, for both games I believe. No doubt a few from the younger years will do the dash at 3.10 as well.

I was thinking more along these lines

And in further other news, speaking of poor commentators, I now have to carry a picture of Phil Kearns around for my next 500 posts. Fuck. I’ll try to find the worst one possible.

In other news, I am the 2023 GAGR Fantasy Rugby Draft champion.

Gee that reply has miraculously disappeared so now I look like the idiot

I’m pretty sure that’s Sean Maloney, not SBW

He isnt in the graphic. @dismal, can you superimpose his head onto the little blond lady please, I don’t think she is a contender for the title.

Forgot about Jordan last time around, but yes he had a lot more experience by then.

I couldn’t agree more.

Never an 18 year old. Eales was probably the youngest, 2 years out of school in 91 and that was when queenslanders left at 17. Horan and Little would have been 21 that year.

This showed last night. He’s a great finisher but not a very good decision maker.
