The players' union already has a huge say in how things are run through the CBA and are voting members under the constitution.

They would care less about that one for sure, but if you're a rugby player then playing for your country would be pretty high on the agenda. Like all jobs you make do with the best available offer until you can negotiate something better, the other franchises would offer them something if they thought they warranted it.

Think RA needs focus on getting signiture of Angelo Smith. He is a good young upcoming lock prospect. Not saying he would have been in the wallaby frame but he is a year closer to Australian eligibility.
now with Rodda/Canham out the door our super rugby teams can use the tall timber more than ever.

For what it's worth, Michael Atkinson has just interviewed Schmidt, and is saying on twitter that Canham was very close to selection, and MA doesn't think Canham is going overseas.

That’s a good development.
Hope he sticks around. The improvement this year was noticeable

Dont say that, I said Swain might feel regret signing in oz for the next to years and some peanut said 'wE nEeD oUr PlAyErS hErE' and they shouldn't be upset that Angus fucking Blyth got selected before them..

When did he do that this season? He had a bad run of it in the past, but it's not like Angus Blyth is some angel with his history, and Swains is a much better player, proven by keeping everyone's favorite Wallaby selection, Frost, on the bench. Him and Canham deserved to be selected in front of some others. Just on form and talent.
But they haven't been, and I don't know what else they can do when they select lesser players over you. I'm calling it now; both of them are better than Angus and been playing much better.

There have been several instances of Swain doing his usual silly shit off the ball this season - most of which hasn't been picked up, granted, but that doesn't mean he's actually cut it out. Reds v Brumbies Rd6 is one that I remember, where put an unnecessary and late hit/push on McDermott off a lineout.

I don’t love Blyth as a selection, but carrying on like Swain has some kind of entitlement to be there is a bit funny, he Is a good player when on form, he is also a massive liability through the dumb shit he does. Subsequent test coaches have overlooked him, there’s a message there.
I mentioned in today's blog that Blyth seems to have cleaned his act up regarding penalties and cards. Granted it's a small sample size though, so he may just not of had the chance to stuff up yet. anyway this is not the thread for this.

What ever his been fine, no refs called him at all.. you know why because it was nothing in it... I suppose Angus Blyth didn't play enough to actually do dumb shit. He spent a while lot less time off the field then golden boy Tate this year
