Aussie Player Exodus

Apparently Vunivalu is off to La Rochelle as a medical joker. Good luck to him, happy to see him remain in the rugby ecosystem.

how do you say "I can fix him" in French?

 

[upthereds#!]

Is that why he hasn't been 'farewelled?' because after his joker contract, he is entitled to recommence the completion of his Australia contract?

For what it's worth, Rugbypass is reporting that he is getting released from his contract

If thats what he wants! I hope he has something lined up after the medical (im sure he'll be fine)

Apparently Harry Hockings and Isaac Lucas will be eligible for Japan late next year. Hockings speaks good Japanese apparently.

Here's hoping their friends from last years wallabies squad have had a quiet word to them about what life is like under Eddie...

Just to add to that, they are worth a lot more to their Japanese clubs as Japanese eligible players, as it means they can be on the field without any restrictions

Jed Holloway has signed a short term injury cover deal with Leicester before he starts in MLR

Hello everybody !

Rumors in France about an interest of Bordeaux for Tate Mcdermott.

Very surprising, he's under contract until 2027 ... There are some rumors in Australia about a leaving ?

Congratulations for the Autumn series, lovely win against England

Rugby. Transferts : l’UBB est aussi sur les rangs pour Machenaud

Le demi-de-mêlée, qui négocie une prolongation avec l’Aviron Bayonnais, intéresse aussi son club formateur

None I've heard, and given the age of Gordon and White I really doubt RA would let him go. He's also co-captain at the Reds, well liked and highly valued there. Seems more like a speculative play from Bordeaux hoping to flex some financial muscle than anything too likely at this stage. They'd be much more chance picking up Kalani Thomas or Louis Werchon from behind him and looking at them to make a step up, particularly if they still see Lucu as the starter.

With Lions and WC coming up and a long term deal in place with Reds/RA it would be a massive shock, and don't think there have been any rumours around it.

I doubt he would be willing to go across to play behind Lucu too. Especially as Lucu probably won't feature for the EdF much anymore so will always be available.

Damn, looks like we might be losing Kerevi to the All Blacks

No surprise at this point, but Petaia has officially announced that he's joining the NFL's International Pathway Program for 2025:

‘Shouting down at me’: How his father’s passing inspired a bold NFL bid

He has taken a huge risk in walking away from the Wallabies to pursue a career in the NFL. But it is a decision Jordan Petaia hasn’t taken lightly.

Did someone drop Samu's Bong?

Maddocks is about to re-sign for 2 more years, taking him to '27 and out of any Lions/home RWC conversation.

This is the answer I'd give if someone asked me to name a player that nobody has thought about for awhile

Thats a shame, was really looking forward to seeing him come through at the Tahs.

I think he'll be back. One good thing about the insane hooker injuries we had was it allowed us to unearth an unfeasible amount of talent. Unfeasible....
