Funnily enough the SMH have an article out saying Parra hopeful that Suaali'i will follow Penisini to Parra, go figure. Must be contract negotiation time or something........

Yeah, I missed that one. Goes to show good to get news from different sources to get full picture. As you were everyone

Totally get he started yesterday (well, he was on the ground on Sunday so getting in early), I guess I would have thought that the assistants may have been on hand yesterday as part of the on-boarding process - maybe he did meet them, but hasn't had a proper coaches meeting yet, which is fine...

The interesting thing in that article is that EJ (Eddie Jones) hasn't met with Dan McKellar yet, going to meet in "coming days". I thought meeting with DM (and other remaining assistant coaches) would have been higher on the agenda? I get there would have been some admin stuff to do yesterday.

Ok ta - I knew I should have googled it :) - doesn't change the quote though lol

Alun Wyn Jones "Why does Wales have to be the odd one out with no blue in their kit?" (I think that's AWJ)

"Please let me go home"

Coming close better than cricket scores I guess.

Have the Rugby Report Card guys topped this with their interview of HMac?

Yep, so it's a bit of a reach to say there was some s***housery from EJ (Eddie Jones) in picking them

But Dolly and Porter left to play over in the UK, are eligible under their rules. I'm pretty sure they actually got a run. Do we know they were included to get under the Wallabies skin? I mean when they left they weren't even on one of the Aus Super teams radars were they?

Could V'Landys actually be worried enough about players coming back to rugby to make a comment?

I agree - but just foisting without any notice or precursor John Williamson with his acoustic guitar isn't going to do it. And yes, the whole game day experience needs some work.

+1 to that - it just felt so contrived.

And surely with his roots, it wouldn't take that long to get back into union from league though

It's interesting listening to Eddie's interview on Gold Digger. The biggest thing I've got out of it is how he's compared what the system was like when he first coached Aus to what it is now - and that you can't coach today like you could 20 - 30 years ago. Now whether that reflects on how he...

Not sure? Surely McKellar provides some stability to the set up **EDIT - removed rather superfluous comment

Yeah, but can Latu smirk like this?

I'm still ambivalent on the whole thing, but if E J ran over my cat, he can have the job for 10 years. **EDIT** E J with no space still disappearing :)
