What’s the saying, contracts are made to be broken? You are probably right about Murray but I know for a fact that angus wants to play pro rugby before he hangs up the boots. Not necessarily in Aus but if there is a carrot here I am sure he will look at it.

Point taken, there were several failures in there such as Timani Tahu. I’m not actually advocating it would work but I’m just guessing at the hitlist:

The bloke has almost limitless talent. I would put him alongside Folau if we were allowed to.

My guesses would be Sua'ali'i, Murray and Chricton. The first is a given and the other two potentially fill a hole where we lack depth (assuming Crichton is earmarked as a 6). If not he also ticks Eddie’s project box of having a back rower in the centres.

He wouldn't be selected for this year - the context is that his contract with the Roosters expires at the end of this season. You'd think if he's a chance to play v the Lions in '25 he'd need to play rugby in '24 though.

Joseph is an exception. The out clauses in his Roosters contract are clearly to allow him to play rugby. He could probably play AFL too if wanted but he's mapped out his career to include rugby.

He may have, I haven’t been following it

Don’t know about vunivalu but I reckon he’s already made a phone call to Matt burton

the bit about Rennie being Raelene’s was a post I started and decided not to continue, I didn’t realize it was still there when I posted. But since it’s there, the point I was intending to make was that Raelene appointed Rennie and I’m not sure keeping him on was ever part of the new RA plan...

I have a feeling this is a pretty amicable situation. Rennie wouldn’t commit beyond 2023, RA didn’t want him to anyway, and to lock in Eddie they had to pounce now. Dave gets to sail the Carribean for a year before getting paid squillions by the Japs and I reckon he will still have a behind...

Rennie was Raelene’s He could start up a gig called the Hooker Academy

Huh? He played Phil and George together as the ultimate precursor to the Pooper. He had the luxury of big 7s in the mother country but those blokes would have been selected regardless of size

Good info, thanks guys. Who else would be in consideration for the AB gig post fozzie?

I’m not in the journalism game and I’m very much left brained, but I read that article and while I can see that there is a fair amount of speculation there, what is actually wrong with it? Isn’t that the job of a journalist, to write a story? Or is it just that it’s NewsCorp?

I’m keeping a 100% open mind on Scott Robertson but can someone point me to any intel that says he has any interest whatsoever in coaching the wallabies?

I Rugby Australia have made an offer to Eddie Jones to come home in 2024 but there is a possibility he may yet oversee the Wallabies at this year’s World Cup in France. The major obstacle is Japan who have offered the master coach a “mega-deal” while France are also keen to have the Australian...

I can read it. It doesn’t bode well for Rennie I have to say. Sounds like the offer is from 2024 onwards but if he accepts it I think Rennie is out the door tomorrow. Regardless of Eddie, DR is a dead man walking, RA are pretty angry with his attitude.

Reg I’m not sure of the context of your project but you can derive this info from the Union Live app if you are prepared to work backwards - if you go to the Stats tab you can click on any player and see all their stats for each individual season

Great way for Lachie Swinton to test out the progress of his rehab to be chucked into the front row in a game of loig. https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/attachments/25f3df34-2c4e-4915-bf2c-463760f03109-jpeg.15094/ My read on it is it’s just a fitness exercise and will be relatively...
