    League Targets

    Is there much RA can do about junior player numbers out west or do the have to channel any initiative / funding through the whole NSWRU / SRU / SJRU / Penrith District pathway (hope I haven't missed any)

    Ballymore Redevelopment

    I guess my initial question was based on there being a master plan in place and approved with the eastern stand still there. Is there a design or plan for what RA/QRU would be seeking funding from government for? Is it similar to the existing ~5k capacity stand or lower capacity option like...

    Ballymore Redevelopment

    Does government have any plans to do that?

    Waratahs 2024

    It's great news. Looking forward to seeing what he can achieve

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    Might be he successfully laid the blame at the feet of the board in interviews etc, but I do think it's probably a reflection of what the Drua are offering salary wise and to the quality of their likely applicants

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I think you are underestimating how pissed off many of the member unions are with the current board. I'd be pretty surprised if any of these three directors get re-elected. The new blood may be a bit different. To clarify, I don't think the letter or group will make any difference. There have...

    Also, surely Jock Campbell isn't it line for a Wallaby topup?

    Wallabies 2024

    Who takes over from 55mins? It's a big issue with FR captains. They aren't on the field when you need them most

    It's possibly not fair to boil Petaia's career down like this, but ultimately he's started just 12 matches in the last world cup cycle across three positions without being an automatic starter in any of them. He offers unrivaled utility value, but that obviously isn't worth much

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    I don't discount fatigue, but I think the coaching/tactics played a much bigger role than any individual level effort. Cron had them counter-rucking, laser focussed on shutting down Paisami 's go forward in mid-field and attacking down Vunivalu's wing. Was impressive from him

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    Maybe they've noticed a weakness (they have now), but it's always a pretty good tactic anyway. Even if he catches it Wilson isn't kicking it, and you've taken him out of the run threat. He can't get a run up or take the pass from the catcher if he is the catcher. It's why international sides...

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    The good thing is Wilson will get a lot more practice at kickoffs because every team in the comp will be kicking to him for the rest of the year

    Wallabies 2024

    Don't know about that. Wallaby training squad almost always held in early/mid April during the Super Rugby bye rounds. I think we will hear some early thoughts pretty soon

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    Play of the day...at 22:10 on the clock. Tom Horton drops Wilson with a beauty of a tackle in mid-field and then 3 phases later, he and Stewart put another huge hit on Hunter Paisami. Stewart completes the tackle, turns over the ball, and kicks to 2m out all in one motion for the counter-ruck...

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    Nick White is such a a good player. Force are competitive when he's on the field and nowhere when he's not

    Round 5 : Force v Reds - Perth

    That's a coach killer of a miss from Donno

    Round 5: Drua v Waratahs - Saturday 12pm AEDT

    Tahs are two really close kicks off from a very good start to the season. Instead they could be about to lose their coach. The margins at this level are so tight

    Round 5: Hurricanes v Rebels - Friday 22/3 - 5pm AEDT

    LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), is another guy who has come back from huge NH plaudits to return to pretty much what he was when he left here, a fringe Wallaby who isn't fulfilling his promise. What's the go? Do we just not see the regular play up north, just the highlights? Is he not fit? being used wrong? Is it the...

    League Targets

    It's interesting to look back at that 2007 U19 WC squad One or two, what-could-have-beens, a couple of legends, a couple of very good Wallabies, some solid Super Rugby and pro careers Forwards (starting with the front row): Albert Anae (Queensland), Ben Daley (Queensland), Tetera Faulkner (Australian...

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    https://sport.optus.com.au/news/australian-football/os16410/football-head-trauma-heffernan-hill It's definitely coming. I coach underage soccer, and while there's no ban yet, we don't train headers and are encouraged to avoid them
