He's definitely the one out of Gordon, Lolesio and Donaldson with the most upside available in their general play. The goal kicking is a major issue though. It's got to be both a project for him but also might cost him a place in the side. I don't think I'd be going down the route of having...

Penix is an insane pick. He's already old having done 5 years in college and the Falcons are committed to Cousins for three years having guaranteed him $100m. They could potentially look at moving on after two years. If Penix isn't the starter for three years he'll be 27 before he becomes the...

I think it was a combination of a couple of things. A very good QB class after a pretty average one last year (with the exception of CJ Stroud) combined with next year expected to be a bad QB class. An exceptional number of good O Line players and 3 generational wide receivers. Likewise some...

RA doesn't have to pull the pin at this point. They are the ones keeping the Rebels operating. RA wants MRRU Limited to fall in a heap (hopefully due to the ATO proceeding to liquidate the company and pursue the directors) and then they can proceed through 2024 with the Rebels and then work...

What do you mean? QBs, WRs (particularly the three generational WRs taken early) and OTs are three premium positions.

I would say their dream position is the ATO pulling the trigger so they don't have to be the bad guy.

Went there straight after high school and got good professional experience but probably wants to see his family and friends?!?

I am very skeptical of Schmidt picking Lolesio. I think he has to take into consideration that he's already had a fair bit of test experience and is largely still the same player. For me, unless you think Lolesio is clearly the best option you'd lean elsewhere on the basis that you think the...

And yeah, he seems like he's a really good recruit. Genuine size and looks like a good player to me. He's 21 with limited experience. Anyone expecting him to be an instant star was setting pretty unreasonable expectations in my view.

What were people expecting? He's 21 and is a big unit who is pretty athletic. I'm pretty happy with how he's going.

I haven't had time to read through any of it in detail but oh boy, it certainly makes for difficult reading for all parties involved. What an absolute clusterfuck. I don't see why the ATO would release the outgoing directors from their director penalty notices. That would be an absurd decision...

Wow, I would have thought Geoff Stooke was too old for one of his parents to still be on the forum.

1. Loosehead Prop - Hayden Thompson-Stringer (Manly) 2. Hooker - Julian Heaven (Eastern Suburbs) 3. Tighthead Prop - Harry Johnson-Holmes (Sydney University) 4. Left Lock - Hugh Sinclair (Northern Suburbs) 5. Right Lock - Miles Amatosero (Eastern Suburbs) 6. Left Flanker - Lachlan Swinton...

I guess they did technically have the $30m that they wasted on trying to build a digital content platform.

He was school captain (I think) of my school when I was in year 9. Haven't really heard of or thought about him since. Interesting to see the name pop up now.

Jack Mesley Appointed CEO of Super Rugby Pacific The Super Rugby Pacific Board has appointed Jack Mesley the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of Super Rugby Pacific (SRP (Super Rugby Pacific)). Sydney-based Mesley, who will commence in the role on 22 July, boasts more than 20 years of professional experience in...

I feel like I've read the same article written by the same person three times this year! You don't think he's the sort of... firepower Rugby Australia need right now?

I guess on the basis that the larger states would get more votes much as large shareholders of public companies control the bulk of the voting power. Trying to manage the process would be a nightmare though and would come at huge cost to Rugby Australia to somewhat give the states the same...

"Professional board operatives". Every corporate governance model ever will tell you that a board needs some independent directors who essentially fit this description. "Two Directors selected by the above four to help complete the skill mix." - will these be wholly independent directors with...

Harvey Norman finished up. I think it was only a coincidence that it concluded at the same time as McLennan's exit.
