Did the men get more permanent players on the payroll after winning the last annual comp? I didn't hear.
I believe RA contracts go till the end of the year so it’s a new ‘season’ but contracts won’t start till next year & announced in due course.Did the men get more permanent players on the payroll after winning the last annual comp? I didn't hear.
The coaching swap was one massive big fail.It just goes to show how the doldrums in a sport don't have to be permanent. The mens 7's was a basket case only a short while aho and now look at them.
This combined with the success of the Aus A programme makes me optimistic about the game here more generally.
Seen him play 15s at Randwick when the world 7s was on break due to Covid. He played a bit of half, but looked more comfortable at 15, where he could chose his moments. But that was probably more that he’s a 7s player with a league background than someone who grew up understanding the tactics. I’m not saying it can’t work. He was impressive in those big moments this weekendWhy can't longbottom play halfback in 15's. He is small, but so is the frog half. He's faster this year than ever, he ran down that 6'4" french guy easily. Great long pass. Would be the best attacker in the side. Kicks ok.
Why not leave him in 7s. Build a winning Oly team around him. That will bring more rugby exposure and Oly medals lead to more funding from Sports Australia. Their funding is tied to medal potential and that aloneWhy can't longbottom play halfback in 15's. He is small, but so is the frog half.

Corey Toole had a successful 15s career at Gungahlin Eagles in the JID competition before joining the Aus 7s. While I am concerned he might be a bit on the small side for Super Rugby I am hopeful that he will succeed given his background in the game.Yeah I hope some of these guys don’t go to 15s, I have my doubts about most of them - especially Corey Toole. I get why they go, it’s higher pay but I don’t see them being successful at all.
Don’t think the players would care if you’re in or out if it means they’re actually earning a decent incomeYep & then count me out
Simplistic take on the topicI dont know anyone that would be interested in a trash t20 7's league
take a look at your own response and contribution to the discussion. If you’ve got zero interest in something, you don’t have to be a dick about it or dismissive based on a simplistic sample size of ‘people you know’Thanks for wasting everyone's time with your response ...... again
I know a few league types who like watching 7s but zero interest in 15s. FWIW.
