Roosters have nothing to do with it, they don’t own Kippax or Tramway ovals, that land is owned by the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust. Roosters lease space including an agreement for field access, just like Sydney Swans and Rugby Australia.

They’re not using a second field because both men and women deserve the primary field, and not pushed to a field with no stands, ammenities, or broadcast coverage.

Hell, yesterday at work a few of my co-workers (of whom most are RL fans first) and I were talking about watching the 7s. Three blokes and a woman. All of us were of the position that we tuned in to watch the Aussie girls as opposed to the men. To have had them play on a secondary pitch would have seen three of the four would not have bothered watching more than a few games.

I know there was recently talk about Rugby going after some League players and in particular players that have previous experience in playing Rugby.

Take Will Penisini off the list as he's signed a 2 year extension with Parra. The Sua'ali'i'i chat will never go away whilst he is in his current contract because he is allowed to negotiate every year.

Funnily enough the SMH have an article out saying Parra hopeful that Sua'ali'i'i will follow Penisini to Parra, go figure. Must be contract negotiation time or something........

Don't know how they could afford it with their roster but if your mate wants to pump your tires up a bit, I support it.

The Sua'ali'i'i chat is going to drive people nuts right up until the Roosters give him an extra 150k

Sua'ali'i'i has until the end of April to exercise his get-out of the Roosters, so we'll know rather soon his intentions.

Rugby News: 'I thought I was in trouble' - Leota surprised by Rebels decision, Reds beat Broncos to 'elite' schoolboy talent

Rob Leota was a little concerned when his boss Kevin Foote summoned him for a meeting last winter. Instead, he sat in Foote’s room…

2nd half of the article we have picked up another one from league, slowly slowly we are getting there

Huge positive to read those sorts of words. Hopefully he kicks on.

its now 3 in 3 years, for a while everyone was leaving

SMH said this offer was tabled to Sualli and he rejected it, so will likely need to offer more than this

This column has seen the Sua'ali'i contract offer on a South Sydney letterhead and can reveal the figures: $800,000 in 2024; $900,000 in 2025; and $1 million in 2026. It would appear $2.7 million over three years is not over the odds for a player of his enormous potential, despite Sua'ali'i being only 19. Sua'ali'i has a unique contract with options in his favour that make him effectively a rolling target for opposition clubs.

Not even going to get a look in for anything below 1.1m per season.

Tedesco is said to be on 1.1m currently and Joseph is clearly a top level Fullback from his showing at the RLWC. Mitchel Moses is rumoured to have been offered 1.3m a year and yes he’s a Halfback but it’s a position in the spine like a Fullback.

They will no doubt use teams like the Dolphins to up his price.

Why would he want to go to souths? he's not playing FB ahead of Latrell

 

[RugbyReg]

Perhaps the appeal of a RWC / Lions tour / Olympic Games could help reduce the slats y requirements.

Interestingly this offer was offered before Mitchell re-signed.

well then I wish he had have taken it, & we threw everything at Latrell

Do we know what Andy Friend is doing back in Aus?

 

[RugbyReg]

The Wallabies will make a major re-signing announcement tomorrow at Allianz Stadium.

Bell's named. Would it be Tupou? He's in Townsville. I guess they could do it at Sydney to get it at a arm length from MElbourne?

Word is Valetini is about to sign through to 2027, could be that. Could be that he'll be awarded the John Eales medal at the same time.

I'm not sure the Tupou signing will be officially announced for some time, Rebels can't really do the press they'll want to do while he's still on Reds duties.

Youd think it'd be someone from Brumbies/Tahs?

That would be my guess if that's the mail.
