Wallabies 2025 Spring Tour

[Tomthumb]

It's great you've been given a new target to whinge at. Looking forward to pages of it over the next 6 weeks.

It is what it is. Just feels dirty that Horne and Schmidt used loyalty as a tool to get players to re-sign and then change their tune as soon as they want to

RA is required to pay 100k just to get him out of his contract because he didn’t want to play league anymore, a year after not wanting to play rugby anymore

Picking him on the back of zero rugby games and 2 league games in 2 years is a bit of a slap on the face to guys like Donaldson that have actually been contributing to Australian rugby

Is Gordon actually going to see this contract out, or take his ball and go home when things don’t go great?

Not everyone who has been contributing to Australian rugby gets a turn playing for the Wallabies…

Employee gets fucked over by employer, moves to new employer in adjacent industry, realises he doesn't love it, so returns to previous employer now that they've made sweeping changes in decision makers.

Tale as old as time, really.

I can’t agree with the “fucked over” part. Being picked for the Wallabies isn’t being “fucked over”

There were 30 other players in that same team and they didn’t take their ball and go home. They stayed committed to Australian rugby and got us through a dark time

But they haven’t changed their tune… that’s the point.

I'm thrilled Carter is back in the fold, because I honestly think his ceiling is higher than all of our current 10's. I don't think we should select him right away for Wallaby duties, but I'm absolutely glad for us to have the option to do it again.

But they haven’t changed their tune… that’s the point.

I think we need to agree to disagree on that. Let’s just hope Gordon doesn’t quit on us again this time

But can we genuinely ask what the hell Tane Edmed has done to get this charmed ride? Does he have compromising photos of someone?

Im not sure why people are upset that Carter left after the eddie shitstorm? He wanted to go home and the reds didnt take him, the Titans were just one of the other employers close to home in the very limited options he had for employment close to home. Im not sure it was about turning his back on rugby, but just getting back home.
Who knows what sort of head noise he had going on. Glad hes back

JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor) is over there. They will call on him if there is an injury no doubt. How they are backing Edmed over Donaldson is what I don't understand. Blooding Lynagh with the pressure of the Lions series has set him back and the decision has been made now to bring in a new answer. Faster than a speeding mullet... it's the one game NRL man and former Wallaby... Carter Gordon! Wishing the Wallabies luck for the tour. Hopefully they play well .

how exciting for you to have another blonde haired QLD flyhalf to constantly shit on now.

What’s the injury?

Hammy and a bruised noggin. Fair enough.
