it just promotes taking talks underground through 4th parties ie agents of agents or their mates acting as intermediaries.

It's not ideal, but at the same time it's end of season and gives Tom and other young players to get given an opportunity to reset and get their bodies right. Sounds like they have been managing it but this gives a good opportunity to get ahead of it. There's been a few NRL players who've...

Look, I would get this if Carter had never played Union before, but considering he's played most of his career as a union guy, I don't think it's a problem. A wrap or unders move is still the same as it was 2 years ago. The defensive pattern for a 10 is not that complex. What is complex is...

Rushing him into a test in what sense? I would dare say he is fit enough, has played some QRL over the last few months and has played Union for a number of years. In fact, if his body is up to the rigour, I would say he need to be getting as many minutes with the Wallaby squad both on the...

You're assuming it was dodgy hamstrings that have kept him out, it could just as easily be frustrations from repeated head knocks and after taking guidance, the Reds and RA are of the opinion Tom would be best getting a full off-season. Donaldson is one flight away from getting to the UK so not...

Knowing how expensive Business class tickets are, the Frenchies and Irish are probably getting RA to pay for their flight over.

Sorry you're right. I couldn't remember who was who after reading their signing a few months ago together.

Depends if Hodgman is fit and what they do with King and Armistead.

Outside of Sydney, Tom will have similar issues to overcome at the Force and Brumbies. Given how much Tom has been injured and same with Carter, I would dare say there will be a lot of game time both are getting next year at the Reds.

I thought HMP went to South? I can't imagine Carter would run out for West's these days similar to Tom not playing for UQ in a year?

It's not an inheriting bad decision so long as you tie it to the currency you want to be paid in. Given the volatile nature of crypto if it tanks you still want it be the same amount had they paid cash. Many moons ago I was reading the tri nation agreement legal documents and the currency was...

Can Ben Vunivola play 15? With Jock getting taken out by a sniper during Super Rugby AU, I'd be saying we need to ensure we've got adequate coverage for him before releasing players. I know we have Murray, but he's either not been fit or Les has shown Murray is down the pecking list.

We've seen consistently for what three seasons you can't count on Henry to be fit.

Honestly, HMP has had a horrible habit of planting his foot when he recieve the ball meaning he isn't threatening the line and allows the defence to just drift. I'm hoping Carter can show Hamish how to take the ball to the line with speed and then distribute.

I dunno about how insightful I find Harrison comments considering both the scrum and lineout are vastly different from when he played. I wish they could rope in more blokes that are sub 10 years post retirement rather than guys who have been retired longer than their careers went for.
