Yep the SRU was hoodwinked by the administration at Western Sydney, Eastwood and a few other clubs. It will be interesting to see how Eastwood and Western Sydney will justify keeping players who want to leave in the face of some of the antics of the offseason with the Sorovi and racism incident...

Heard that Western Sydney have enticed Charlie Sorovi from Eastwood to break a contract he signed for Warringah in exchange for a massive payment. Interesting as Western Sydney have had numerous issues in the past with paying players on time.

Further to this Eastwood used the weaker clubs in Western Sydney & Souths to advance there decision in relation to the changing of 1st grade players between clubs before they advised Telfer he was sacked. It is now abundantly clear what they were doing and the SRU are in a spot of bother with...

I have heard Swinton is not the happiest in France and could return home at some stage over the next few season as well as Angus Scott Young is a chance to come back for 2026 to the Waratahs (home sick).

McDonald can’t box kick to a professional standard so I don’t know if he is the answer to be honest. It’s half the job these days.

I imagine Gordon would leave in 2028 definetly with Grover to come in at least as a third string option by then as the plan. He will be in the 20’s the next few seasons. Teddy will be number one by 2028 and to see more minutes this year and next although he is not signed for 2027 yet. McKellar...

Is it true the players from last season are still owed money + others as well and the General Manager Bec Watson won't respond to queries. Makes it very hard to toe the line with the movement rules if clubs are behaving like this.

I am not sure which ones HarryElite seems to think there is 10 - 12 so should know more. Who is the Gordon coach to go to Manly?

Nothing to be confused about yes they can. See attached. Manly were in the bottom four last season so can apply for change of circumstance without any hindrance. A number of clubs apparently noticing now why these rule changes were brought about in particular in relation to Western Sydney &...

It is a poor rule change, poorly thought out and causing chaos with recruitment. One of the intricacies is the bottom four clubs can target whoever they want (no limits) so now Manly who are by no means a struggling club just had a poor year are throwing cash at everyone. I actually think Manly...

Riley Carter, Mick West & Lachie McKinnon (S & C) who are the others? Noticed Two Blues have Sam Tabuatamata, Pat Faapoi, Sailosi Tagicikbau & Travis Church all coaching and all ex Gordon before they were Two Blues.

That was in the era of when they needed to reside in Australia for three years they just changed this last year from August I think it was 2024 to 60 months straight registration with club OR union. This or 10 years cumulative residency. I think it was becoming too much paperwork to prove when...

Yes I am actually Katoa would be registered by RA as a union now as he hasn't been transferred to another union. They don't just remove his registration because he plays rugby league. Have seen it before with Fijian's who don't transfer union they stayed registered to the Fijian Rugby Union...

Once you register with a union you do not just lose registration because you don't register with a club. Moving to another union requires clearance from the current union.

When you register for the union it doesn't stop until you transfer out of the union so he is a Rugby Australia player at the moment in the eyes of World Rugby as he hasn't received a transfer request which all players have to/are meant to do when they move (obviously definitely happens in the...
