That game v SAF was announced as a 3:45pm kick off back in February - I'm not sure which release is out by an hour. I think it's more about PhilW wanting arvo games than what the NRL are doing. A bit of Column A and Column B as PhilC said elsewhere.

No I meant that the person in the crowd made a bigger deal of it after the event, the part about personal jokes wasn't meant in this instance but I can see why you thought that, I could have worded it more clearly.

Yes look I totally understand that, and outright racism, or vilification for any views, has no place in the sporting arena. The point is that often the public/onlookers want to make a bigger deal out of things than the people who are actually involved in it, sometimes it could even be a...

No you aren't, this is merely another street corner for you to try and implant your non-rugby agenda onto others out of context. FWIW, recognising that like your comment, this has nothing to do with the Melbourne Rebels 2024, I think Lehrmann is a grub. However I also don't have much respect...

Yes but as others have said there aren't all that many foreign based players who would realistically be in contention for the Wallabies this year. There are a few beyond the 3 already covered by the current restrictions that would be worthwhile squad additions but that's about it.

I wonder if this could be a deliberate pre-cursor to us abandoning Super Rugby in favour of a domestic NPC/Currie Cup style competition. if RA recognise it isn't working, it's better to at least keep the senior players in the game than to defect to the NRL. Then create a proper domestic comp...

He wasnt in career best form in Supe but he then got injured and didn't get an opportunity to prove himself after that. I couldn't be arsed going back through the 2023 threads - more to the point I dont want to revisit them - but from memory he was certainly in the discussions up until the...

What if M Hooper doesn't make the sevens squad? Just pondering.

Whilst I don't disagree with this post in general, there's a lot of #10 experience you are writing off there. Not so much with the intention of picking them to start I would have at least one of these three in the squad, probably one of the latter two. I'd leave both Arnolds out of the...

Surely a half decent lawyer will get McReight's red downgraded? Otherwise yeah put Wright there and move Uru to 6.

Absolutely. I had a look during the game to see if there was any aussie grandparents or something.

The general feeling was that Harrison was the most talented of that U20s crop which included Lolesio and Donaldson, but he has been forgotten, through no-one's fault as he has been injured. It was also generally considered that he needed time, and he's now had that in spadefuls. It will be...

Kings & Newington 3-way with Knox

I was surprised he (Tane) started tonight. He won't again.

Never mind the 2m crooked line out throw

'trumping league' was probably the wrong phrase now that I have reread it as its not about that. Its more about keeping more younger players in the game in general. Hopefully more players over time would lead to better alignment.

Interestingly I was talking to a DO from RA the other night, he was telling me that both codes (and team sports in general) are struggling for numbers amongst school kids. They prefer to compete in things like Park Runs where they can turn up ad lib and if they feel like the morning off they...

Well we smacked them at their home ground in Melbourne so surely we have the wood on them with our home ground advantage?

For me personally I get right into the swimming and the rowing because we are good at them. Coincidentally they are both usually early on in the programme. I'll watch the 7s of course whenever they are scheduled. I avoid all the other events like a plague unless we have a known gold medal...

1sts/2nds playing a 3 way trial v Newington & Knox on Saturday 27th April, 3rds will play Eastwood colts earlier in the day. Nothing scheduled for this weekend as it's cadet camp week.
