He's signed a lease on a rental property in Brisbane if reports are to be believed
Although, the commute from Brisbane to Daceyville couldn't be much worse than other parts of Sydney, right?

He could come and join all the other hi-vis fly-in/fly-out crew at Brisbane airport at 5:30amAlthough, the commute from Brisbane to Daceyville couldn't be much worse than other parts of Sydney, right?
Are there still any players left for 2025?Is Hugh Sinclair signed up for 2025? I heard a whisper he might not go around for the Tahs next year. After loosing Swinton, Hanigan, and Hollaway it would be a huge shame. While he is not likely to crack the Wallaby setup Sinclair is a good honest toiler and an asset to the Tahs.
Looking very grim... Fingers crossed Tupou signs. Perhaps look at bringing home Harry Hockings?If we thought last year was bad, 2025 could be a whole new level. With only Holtz and Botha at THP, neither of who have really established themselves as being at Super Rugby level yet (at least they're both young), One lock in Amatosero, a 21 year-old who is also at that level, and two veteran journeyman in Sinclair and Lee-Warner to cover 5 and 6, with no significant signings this looks diabolical.
The Tahs management really need to have a long hard look at themselves, this is a club that ten years ago was the best Super rugby side in the southern hemisphere, reduced to not much more than a Shute Shield team.
I will continue to be a supporter, have a lot of great mates who wore this jumper forty-odd years ago, but to destroy the culture to the point where half the team are looking for a way out, and nobody else is prepared to come on board, even with their own team liquidated, reflects very poorly on management,
Don’t stress Froggy, it will get better. Just remember your mates played for a representative team, and it was effectively NSW origin back then. Times have changed, the NSW leather elbow patch dudes couldn’t ever get their head around the team becoming professional and did not adapt. Hopefully (emphasis on that word) the transfer of the professional outfit to RA will overcome this in due course. I have faith, NSW rugby will be the envy of all soon enough.If we thought last year was bad, 2025 could be a whole new level.

Yeah, what some could consider to total cluster f*ck, others may consider an opportunity to get playing minutes, whilst the more established maybe looking for extra $$$ to compensate for the cluster f*ckI suspect there is a bit going on behind the scenes. Note that the Brumbies have also been very quiet with their player movements. This centralization thing might actually be a thing.
