Is there any cross-over between the boards of UTS and the ARU?

Schif was great. He wasn't paid stupid money, and was great for the Reds at the time (after the devastation of the Force). Not sure why anybody would put him in a list of bad converts.

IMO, CFS was ruined partly by being forced onto the wing in his youth. Should always have been a 13.

Uhhh... literally nobody is suggesting that the Force dominated the tournament.

Yikes- I knew there was a huge discrepancy, but didn't realise they started on 35- that's minimum wage. I thought the minimum in Soup was something like 85k!? In any case, RUPA are completely toothless so it probably doesn't matter anyway. Does anyone on here have any insider information about...

The payment of players will be very interesting. I can't see RUPA being happy with a player-auction system that doesn't have a minimum wage, but even with one included we could see some wildly varied salaries in the same teams. Could see the stars on 7 figures with the squad players on 50k or...

Not quite that far. Somewhere comfortably out of Tahs territory, but within reach of Sydney's infrastructure. Parramatta sounds good to me.

Hmmm. Stars would be good, but a team further west would be great.

Supe is dead. Long live Twigby.

Love how Cam REALLY emphasises CERTAIN words, and his general upward inflection.

CBS covers college rugby in the states, for what it's worth (probably nothing).

Anybody that calls Foley iceman ever again will have their rugby-commenting privileges revoked.

Revenue will be way down this year due to falling crowds, and given the parlous state of Super Rugby, the projections for the next few years beyond the current broadcast agreement can't be that good either. He might even be able to knock them down lower.

Wayne Smith suggested as much the other day (though he made a point to note that the assistants are not yes-men).

You can't imagine a group of coaches who essentially owe their careers to Cheika, having been brought in with little prior top-flight coaching experience in every single case (with the exception of Byrne), struggling to impose themselves on selections? That's funny, because I see the complete...

According to the media, that's pretty much exactly how it works.

Anybody know what time they're meeting today? EST plz

Yeah, I agree with you there- depth was the wrong word. There's a wealth of players with potential, but none that are consistently good at international level.

Our depth at 9 is really quite poor. I can't believe we're at the point that Phipps is our best option, but here we are.

100% agree. One of the worst things about this current crisis, is the fact that people have gone beyond anger to ridicule and complete apathy. Fan interest is dying fast.
