Haven't the NRL proposed salary cap exemptions for signings from other football Codes? I wonder how that might inflate the $$$. You would think JP would be the type of potential signing it was designed for.
Semi R, RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck), Denny Solomona, even Clinton Schifcofske and Mark Mclinden contributed well to the reds super rugby seasons when they were there I thought. Curtis Rona is doing well at London Irish.
Totally agree. I think it makes a lot of sense from RU that they have him getting exposed as early as possible to their top line coaching team. Good chance to take a nice close look at their new acquisition. They did the same thing with Marika. Geez the Reds backline looks dominant for next...
Why not let Twiggy drive GRR into something that includes the 5 super provinces, play a first past the post comp, and then a champions cup + challenge cup with the Kiwi and (fingers crossed) Japanese counterparts.
Totally agree. Seriously - he would be foolish to ignore an approach from that owner... even if it is just to establish a relationship for future business (contracts), and especially if he decides not to play under Foley at Force.
Folau announced on his twitter page this arvo that he has become an ambassador for asics (a wallabies corporate partner / sponsor ). That might be the loose end they have been waiting to be sorted given he has previously been with under armour...
I just hope whoever the new coach is, just locks Quade and To'omua in the side. Quade can start, with To'omua on the bench to have the last 20 - 30 of each game to bring him up to speed. Ideally one of the two will stand up as a proper test player and then take ownership of the role...
How long has Damien Fitzpatrick been fit? Did he make the field against the Force? Every time the current replacement rakes through a lineout ball a metre off centre I think about him...
I was just watching Cummins' highlight package from that test against QLD Maroons the Poms last year and he absolutely dominated. I hope he gets a start, because he will lift the entire team.
