4 Nate Brakeley

8 Payne Haas
9 Hayden Sargent
10 Sam Windsor

Where is this from?

I just googled the first 5 names before I ran out of interest

This just a theoretical side or pulled from a Reddit thread?

Sam Windsor... A 38 year old MLR journeyman. Haas would take his back of cash and han it to most these guys thinking they're the hired help. Same with Audsley.

The MLR died so R360 could thrive.... Imagine all those blokes getting pay bumps for playing mid table 1st Grade standard Rugby.

Is the Henry O'Donnell the boy from the Tahs?

Is the Henry O'Donnell the boy from the Tahs?

Sure is!

Guys its a bullshit side clearly. There's been no announcements. Apparently some are due 'within the fortnight' but the above is made largely by AI made up mostly of players from the defunct MLR teams plus a couple of random 'big name' leaguies a fringe super rugby guy and a fridge 7s guy.

Its the type of team I wouldn't be surprised seeing

It most likely will be how they will have to build sides but also be the sign of their immediate demise.

I thought it was the best of the best? That is a team of unknowns.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

They should sign #1 Most Hated Hoskins Sotutu.

Fuck England.

Without Twiggy fronting that comp for the Force to stay alive who knows if they would have been around when re admittance presented. R360 as present offers nothing to the wider environment besides potentially lining a few players pockets and good luck to them if it's there.

yeah - no doubt about his support for the Force actually helped all of Australian Rugby....but...this does sound familiar:

Billionaire mining magnate Andrew Forrest says star players from around the world are banging down the door to ask about his new Global Rapid Rugby competition.

Forrest will launch the competition in either late February or early March, and he’s hoping to attract about 20 of the world’s top 100 rugby players.

Former All Black Dan Carter has already been linked to the new league, while Matt Giteau’s name has also been floated.

The marquee players will be spread across the eight franchises, with no salary cap in place for the league.

Nice PR write up from the Mindaroo Foundation.

If they said "We are creating a mildly below average competition featuring mostly unknown players who will be paid unspecified amounts of money" it wouldn't get the same buzz"
