Grealy? Realy?

There is no confirmation of that as far as I know, and the prospect of him going was actually why I think he might be announced on Sunday, I.e to try to lock him in to staying. i forgot about Muirhead, but it’s hard to pinpoint another outside back who’s up to Wallaby standard which is why I...

I’d say Maddocks will take one of the vacant spots, Kellaway could be a smokie for the other.

Funny you mention that, I was just browsing the Scots program from yesterday. Interestingly Freddy Fittler does have a kid at that same school!

Plays for one of the 4 wrong franchises

I know what Dave Rennie was thinking. It involves a red pen

Ardie didn’t think that was a knock on?? Fuck me sideways, take it on the chin buddy, even Ben Skeen would have called that one.

About time a kiwi team fucked up on the bell. LOL

The Tahs are a lost cause this season. It seems to me they have taken the attitude that they have nothing to lose and are just going out and having a crack. Notwithstanding the issues you outline, most of which I agree with, despite yours and Derpus’ naysaying they have been fun and...

Shite. What happened there? You often get one wild card front rower stepping up but 4 of them, big ask. Backs are fine, just need to come up with a way to get them the ball!

I can understand it in this instance, particularly for the Narromine and Dubbo girls, it's great that they have been noticed and picked up by the Brumbies. As it's semi pro they can't really afford to relocate just for a short footy comp. However LB, I do 100% agree with you for fully...

That’s true I guess. I just figured you would have had to sign for a club in the jurisdiction of the pro outfit you are playing for. As you were.

Did she realise he’s a kiwi? :D

Just out of curiosity BR, how are players from Dubbo, Narromine, Gordon and Easts eligible for the Brumbies? Is by no means a complaint, and I get that to give the women’s game a kick start they need looser eligibility rules, but I’m just curious as to what they are.

Is hooper able to kit up this weekend? He can’t train so he won’t be picked obviously but I’d have him as the 24th man, his contribution during the warm up would be invaluable. Worst case he’d be the water runner I guess

I think it depends on who the 6 and 8 and reserve lock are, and of course we could go a 6:2 split. The main problem with Hooper/Pocock is that it would have been more ideal to finish with it rather than start with it. Hooper and McReight going nuts for the last 20 certainly has some appeal.

That would be the most logical. if NZ have 5 teams then we're only looking at 3 or 4 home games for these sides a season. The 3rd team is really there obviously for the players who aren't from NSW or Qld, and I guess the appeal for the supporters of these players is that they are genuinely...

Build it and they will come. It's not an overnight proposition whatever we do, it requires hard work and investment.

1. definitely outside capital - PE, sponsors and member ownership 2. initially you'd let the existing contracts run their course but encourage uncontracted players to at least look at the new clubs. Over time I think players would migrate towards their roots 3. Shute Shield and QPR become semi...
