Flow on from last year. You’re probably right.I think there is a high probability of co-captains being named in JOC (James O'Connor) and Wright

Why do QLD and NSW hold majority of the votes? I would have thought 5 Super Rugby votes and potentially 2 ARU votes.From https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-...ra-plots-massive-reforms-20211208-p59fte.html
"They are plotting a wholesale centralisation of high performance, streamlining coaching and athletic development roles, ending the warehousing of players in the major nurseries of NSW and Queensland, and centralising the contracting of players.
It will require approval by a vote of all member unions, a stumbling block that could yet scupper the reforms with Queensland and NSW holding the majority of votes."
That claim may be out of date. although it might rely on what kind of majority is required to vote through the changes.Why do QLD and NSW hold majority of the votes? I would have thought 5 Super Rugby votes and potentially 2 ARU votes.
Centralisation and privatisation both come with their advantages and disadvantages. Would I be correct in asserting that the current board/management at ARU are making better decisions than their previous counterparts over the past 15 years? Centralisation is a structure for growth and privatisation is a structure of proven growth and confidence. Interested in other people’s views…That claim may be out of date. although it might rely on what kind of majority is required to vote through the changes.
QRU + Reds have 3 votes and NSWRU + Tahs have 3 votes = 6 of the 16 available votes.
each state union gets 1 vote
each Super Rugby team gets 1 vote
and unions with over 50,000 players get an extra vote - currently only QLD and NSW meet that threshold.
But if this needs a super majority or something similar - they could still be a blocker.
Paisami has re-signed until 2023 by the sounds of it
They were the best combination in SRAu and SRTT 2021. Paisami remained the best Wallaby No 12 option after Kerevi left, and his form in the last two tests was excellent.Key signing for the Reds and RA.
Depending what RA do about international players, JOC (James O'Connor) and Paisami will be the safest 10/12 option going forward to next RWC, assuming of course they stay healthy and hold their form.
I feel a lot of criticism got heaped onto them both once Quade and Kerevi left the team, but hopefully they can have a great 2022 for the Reds and prove why they were the best mid-field option for the Wallabies.
Absolutely, but you can't right off JOC (James O'Connor) completely based off a handful of average games at the back end of a largely uninspiring tour. His form in those games was still better than the slop Quade was throwing around before he left Australian shores, and now he's back to being the messiah.They were the best combination in SRAu and SRTT 2021. Paisami remained the best Wallaby No 12 option after Kerevi left, and his form in the last two tests was excellent.
JOC (James O'Connor), on the other hand, did not play to his Super Rugby standard after he came back from injury. His form in the tests leaves his spot open to competition. Shame really that we have so few No 10 options.
I wish I could still understand rappers like the good old days.
Why? He plays like he is. Similar to McMahon.I wish Hunter was a few kilos heavier.
I think most of us wish we were a few kilo’s lighter, me included.I wish Hunter was a few kilos heavier.
Hopefully see more of him this season. I think we liked what we saw but just unfortunately not enough due to injury.Down at Ballymore and was pleased to see Vunivalu down there training. In team rehab but looking fit and moving ok
