Yep you are right. Quite a few lower graders went to play for Mosman (6-8). Different argument here as it sounds like it's higher graders.I have also heard that many players left after last year because of Dave Telfer.
That's the thing about the rumour mill: timing and agendas are more prominent than facts.
The truth is usually something else, and rarely spotted.
One thing is for sure: the uncertainty around Eastwood's eventual move must be a pain in the arse for the club.

They moved the tier 2 caps required for certain points higher, so vuni doesnt hit that mark anymore so therefore doesnt have the points allocated to him like last year. i believe it was because anyone and everyone seems to be able to get a tier 2 cap now for samoa or tonga, a lot of non professionals who just play club rugby in nz and australia so instead of it being 5 caps to be a 15 point player, its now 15 caps or something like that.I pointed out the Fifita issue a few weeks ago. Last year he was 11 points, after some controversy. Don't understand how he's dropped 10 points. All clubs are supposed to be using the same source for the player points this year so shouldn't be any issues
Will be interesting to see what happens with Uni. They lost the game and can't make the playoffs so losing competition points won't achieve anything.
