The best japanese food is the stuff they dont fuck with. Raw fish or bits of uncooked meat you cook yourself.
Acknowledging its terrible for you a bowl of ramen does go hard though. Worth the subsequent suffering IMO.

Suspect we will have to take Hockings name off the Aussie list on 5 July when the Brave Blossoms play Wales

This blows.
I know he's in Canberra now but has he been made aware of where Exeter is... Picturesue but fuck all else. Coming 2nd last in the prem as well... Must of been a real nice offer from another broke Rugby Club.

We're always very quick on RA to critique but if this is how we manage to keep guys in Gold more regularly then they should be applauded as quick. It is better than a 4 year deal in some D2 French side for ungodly money and we never see him again.

Soooo, let me get this straight... RA's message is that Aussie Super Rugby teams need to win the competition to get more eyeballs on the game, BUT it's OK letting a bunch of Wallaby starters go overseas, which will weaken the Super Rugby teams they need to win... Am I missing something here?
Just the bit that Rugby Australia don't have an unlimited amount of money to be able to pay everyone what they can earn internationally.

What about the $100m from the WC, Lions tour?

I'd be surprised if we have that money now, and throwing 1% plus of it at a single player, before those events have taken place may not be the smartest use of it?
It's an aside, but rugby has long positioned itself as a global game where there are opportunities to play all over the world, so without this type of creative contracting we'll continue to permanently lose players.

Surely the lessons from last time is that we need to use once in 12 year and once in 24 year financial windfalls more conservatively because they are such rare events.
Ikitau is going overseas for nine months to make a chunk of money that we don't have to pay.
Sabbaticals for key players should continue to be a preferred contracting option to allow players to get the financial reward they are capable of without it all being paid by Australian rugby.

They currently have a loan facility of $80m, which must be most of the way used up and are being sued for $30m by the Rebels directors. The Lions tour pays for that, and the WC money in 2027 pays for all the forecast annual losses for the next 10 years based on a $42m broadcast deal
