joseph Sua'ali'i use to be managed by deregistered manager isaac moses

The OZ reported last month that although not officially managed by Isaac Moses he is still receiving "informal"advice from him.

Funny how that works. Managers not officially representing but still probably getting paid

 

[Up the Guts]

He's still signed for 3 years for infinity money, isn't he? Just sounds like he wanted a get out clause on his infinity x 2 contract extension and South's didn't bite.

They countered with this 5 year offer rather than signing that.

Ah i see.

He's not been playing for school. I wonder if it would be possible for a Shute Shield side to give him a go and see what happens.

There is still 2 games to go. I can’t see them rolling him out against Shore this weekend but the game next Wednesday v Joeys will likely be for the premiership.

 

[Dan54]

He doesn't need the money. Dropped $12 million on a Byron Bay beachfront not long ago.

Which may explain why he needs money?

No. He has plenty of it.

Interesting article about Hamish McLennan in today's "Sydney Morning Herald". So he is yet another Shore boy, eh?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Clarke asked to stay to March. Personally on performance to date with Hamish wish that was permanent and no not interested in angry views of those who feel agrieved as I don’t buy into Clarke being the reason force vs rebels cut.

 

[Brumbieman]

Yeah, despite the way Castle was thrown out was grim, but I can't think of a thing since then that was badly handled.

We've got through Covid, run a very successful comp that got the Force back into the scene, kept almost everyone on the books, made the kiwi's look pathetic, and so far avoided some kind of damaging scandal.

I'll take that!

Compared to where we were 6 months ago and told me where we ended up I don’t know I would have believed you. Definitely been a shift and i think we might now have evidence we hit bottom 6 months ago and now starting the slow climb back up.

Qantas just announced they will cease sponsoring Wallabies at the end of this year.

Probably as much to do with Qantas as it is Australian Rugby.

Edit: Qantas are also cutting money for cricket and soccer.

I would say it has pretty much nothing to do with Australian Rugby. They've also ended sponsorship deals with Soccer Australia and Cricket Australia.

I wonder whether Emirates will step in?

 

[Dctarget]

That's pretty big. QANTAS has been a really good sponsor for the Wallabies, a national airline is a useful sponsor (less so with travel banned). Will be very curious to see who we replace them with.

Soooooo, can Folau come back?

Yep, I’ve just read arts and community activities as well.

The optics of laying off thousands of staff but maintaining big sponsorships would be untenable.

 

[wamberal]

Never. He burned his bridges, big time.

 

[sendit]

as much as id want him back i doubt anyone would have the money bar Twiggy and the Force
