McMahon left because he was offered the kind of cashmoney that makes you drop everything and leave. Far more than he would ever get in this failing rugby economy. I would have left as well.
That Jersey is nicer than any we've had in a long time. Only thing i'd change is the neon yellow for some earthier colors given the theme. But pretty nice.

It's because he's really struggled to turn it on physically. I think primarily due to some serious injuries. He's never returned to 2014 form, was fairly average even in 2015.

Hunt and Meakes would...
Meh we didnt play a high risk game. We didnt have Quade out there slinging %5ers. We typically played field position, took the 3 when available etc. We just sucked massive dicks every time we had to defend, at any time from anywhere. Our attack clicked often enough that if we had any sort of...
