Wingers in league aren't particularly well paid, that's why they're happy to come across to union for a bigger payday. It's usually just the players in the 'spine' that are getting top dollar in league.

When was the last time Slipper started at tighthead?

I seem to recall that in that test Samu was playing mostly in the middle and Wilson was out wider, I’d have thought reversing the roles may have worked better

Not sure how the total number of games played last year panned out compared to a normal season, but at the time of the pay cut they weren't actually playing were they? So while he would have been getting less, he was doing less too

Seems the plan to have super rugby beamed into pubs via Sky racing fell through at the last minute: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/super-rugby-blackout-for-pubs-and-clubs-after-tabcorp-tears-up-deal-with-stan-sport-20210219-p5747i.html The involvement of V’landys (the horse racing guy) in the decision is a...

Based on a Danny Weidler article so probably no truth to it but speculation that Sonny-Bill Williams "could be the face of the recently acquired rugby union broadcast on Stan"...

Mal also had assistant coaches like Neil Henry and Michael Hagan who were former head coaches themselves and I suspect handled most of the tactical stuff

I guess in theory the host city for 'super round' wouldn't necessarily have to have a super team. Adelaide? Honolulu? Hong Kong?

Might there be a chance he could be called into the squad though, not with a view to playing him but just to get him around the set up? I have a vague recollection that something similar happened with one of the previous league converts

Oh, and they’ve just announced Borat 2 will be released on Prime

A pledge pin? Hopefully the initiation ceremony was more Delta house than Omega

If the rest of the team is doing that can you carry one or two blokes who might not have a consistent effort across the whole game but can do something game breaking?

From the Brumbies Facebook Group "Obviously of concern is the ability for members to purchase up to 4 additional tickets when claiming their tickets. To provide some clarity on the rational for this process and why members have been provided this opportunity, the primary reasons are provided...

It seems that out of the first batch of 1500 tickets, only around 60 went to non-members. If that rate continues for the remaining 4500, I don't think too many members will miss out
