On the telecast they mentioned his caps over 50 for reds and 30 for wallabies. If he sticks with the code - there’s all the chance he could potentially go to 4 consecutive world cups.
Paisami seems like a rocks and diamond type of players… there’s some on this forum who will continue to talk like his a bag full of rocks.
last night was a diamonds game. Start out at 12 - adversity strikes so they move you out to 13. Lot of class!
I don’t think so - had I heard I would of personally been rejoicing
wonder how a long term shoulder injury/surgery is viewed when signing a NRL contract? His best move might be rugby 1 year contract so he is in the lions test frame
I saw Tuqiri has been named in the Tuggeranong Vikings premier grade team off the bench this weekend
I wonder if he picked up some form of contract with the brumbies?
LOL took care of their opponent handily against a GPS outfit that toweled your tigers the week before.
think all souths did last week was continue to establish themselves as a genuine top 4 outfit…
If they can win at brothers - that will be a huge scalp
It’s not just club rugby being impacted - it’s also schoolboy rugby being impacted by an afternoon test match.
Anyways let’s see how the inconvenienced schoolboy rugby competitions along with qpr are impacted by this decision. If they can find a date/time/location so no one misses out then golden
The leaguie id really be intrigued at having a crack in union is Joe tapine of raiders… I reckon his tall enough to play second rower - if not he’d be a great backrower prospect who also tall enough and nimble for the lineout
what’s overblown about it.
grassroots rugby has never been stronger IMO. Colts teams across the comp with depths. Grades going alll the way down to 7ths
It be nice if Queenslanders could attend their test match considering Queensland is the spiritual heartland of rugby in this country and we...
This is brain dread logic mate
Rugby Australia treat their sub paying playing group like absolute mugs when it’s grassroots club rugby and schoolboy footy filling the coffers of RA.
How about working with the club and schoolboy competition ahead of time so we can schedule league wide bye round?
yeah don’t think so.
lot of rugby clubs up here either have really strong junior programs who have use of ovals at night or their facilities are not up to scratch for Friday night footy due to lux brightness issues (lot of clubs have rectified this - but I believe some still haven’t done it)...
So dumb.
RA has no clue who butters their bread. Who do you think are most likely to attend an international rugby match in afternoons? It’s not the general public (rugby is niche in this country)
it’s the stalwarts of club rugby who would buy tickets and pay for overpriced beers.
RA given...
Always thought the nrl schedule was dynamic where they lock in the time of the games for round 2 midway in the season.
I don’t expect that broncos game to be at 530pm but we will see
Some absolute drongos running Rugby Australia.
I see there’s a wallabies vs springboks afternoon fixture at Suncorp scheduled at the same time as qpr club rugby on August 10.
who stuffed up this time? Probably also going to interfere with schoolboy rugby as well.
Has anyone considered they need to confirm rebels arriving by plane before announcing game day 23?
unsure if these rebels players are at training on a Thursday night (another can of worms is disservice to players at training Tues/thurs) - I suspect they are coming in Friday or morning of game...
colt numbers looking strong across the comp - game might be dying professionally but participation from school leavers is off the charts and hopefully it helps moving forward with a stronger QPR competition down the track
I think McReight could be in judiciary trouble. I know everything looks worse in slow mo but there was a last minute upwards motion with his shoulder towards the head of the pacifika player.
