Excellent appointment. Best of luck to the Tahs and we need our biggest rugby state performing for the health of the game here.
3 year term is a good to see, he's going to need a decent runway to get the tahs back to something reasonable and hopefully build some enduring stability.
That would be surprising as there are so many off contract from the rebels roster he would have to pick up firstthat runway is called “the Hume highway”
totally expecting DM to recruit some of the current players he is responsible for developing down in the ACT
Yeah, I hear you. In this purely hypothetical situation, the union* would cover the cost of accommodation, travel etc for this 11 week competition, as they already do for their currently contracted players. As for contracts allowing playing in foreign competitions, this may not be the case now, but I'm sure this could be included into any future contracts, plus a certain additional bonus payment for those keen to take up a spot in an NPC team. I'd imagine a situation where each Aus Super team has a partnership with a handful of NZ NPC teams. Southland as an example are already partnered with Toyota Verblitz which sees a handful of their players playing in our local club comp. This agreement was made purely because Toyota felt their fringe sqaudies needed more game time. Sounds familiar.I'm doubtful their contracts cover any such scenario of playing in a foreign competition for another organisation. Not to mention whose paying for all the players living abroad costs?
Feels oddly appropriate, for those of us in QLD and I imagine the ACT signing for the tahs is a sort of death.Waratahs infographic intern producing obituaries

And is that a Brumbreeze logo I see in the opaque bit under his head?What on earth compelled them to use the Ghost of McKellars Past over his right shoulder

Intern 1: “Fuck, how do we get rid of the logo?”This is genuinely amazing. The original photo for this one looks to be this.

But then they've layered that over the top of the main image so the Brumbies logo is floating out over his neck?!?
Its quite bizarre (embarrassing?) really - of all the possible ways they could promote the appointment they come up with this.Waratahs infographic intern producing obituaries
Feels a bit like after copping flack for posting the Raiwalui appointment with a photo of him in a Fiji shirt they've tried (badly) to cover up other teams logos in the graphic and it hasn't gone well.
