    He might just have been feeling his way back into things (or phoning it in), but he looked finished in his Toronto outings. The Roosters could probably carry him for old times sake, but I wouldn't have expected him to add anything to anyone else.

    Speaking of throwing money around, where have union found the cash to out-bid league for this giant sixteen year old freak, and isn't it a bit of a gamble on their part?

    I think the Olympics is a big carrot. There will always be corporate money in Sydney for the best of the best young blokes but I doubt he will get massive money straight away. Id be spewing if I were one of the Waratahs who took a haircut financially to keep the squad together.


    I just assumed SBW would still have something to offer because he has always been a model professional who doesnt drink.

    Those Kiwis are top blokes.

    When we played the All Blacks Maori in Fiji, last
    year, we had to pay a match fee of NZ$250k, flights and accommodation which in the end meant a financial burden on the home hosting Pacific Union.

    What the Storm v Broncos @Lewis?

    Pretty sure the Broncos CEO and board (Darren Lockyer) know what they are doing. A lot of good stuff going on at Red Hill

    Some of their defending these past couple of rounds has been tragic. They're either not fit or can't be arsed.

    That David Fifita contract is crazy money, and there must be all sorts of third party extras in it as well if Brisbane couldn't/wouldn't make up the difference.

    Melbourne Storm playing Knights on the Sunshine Coast. Time to move one of the Sydney Teams to Mooloolaba or Kawana I reckon.

    He was looking good before the lockdown even at half-fitness/interest, so you have to think he would still kill it with NRL money motivating him.

    Classic Wayne Bennett. The memes flying around with his head on the succulent chinese meal bloke got me good.

    Nathan Brown and Phil Gould running the Warriors sounds good. If they could develop half the junior system Penrith have got they would be a serious outfit.

    What's the go at the Wolfpack currently? From this side of the world it appears the players arent being paid or supported at the moment.

    They're not covered by the bailout/loan that the English clubs got off the government (Catalans presumably got something from France), and they can't play, so I think they're a bit stuck for retaining people. Their main money man wants out, which has made a few people predict/hope for their imminent demise, but they should be fine once things get back to normal.

    Elsewhere, lol at Brisbane [reportedly] trying to shuffle Tevita Pangai Junior on for a virus breach because they regret giving him a massive contract.

    Paul White and the board, especially Lockyer, should all be ashamed of themselves.

    Police are investigating 10 Broncos over covid breaches.

    It would be perfect if this incident forced both State and Federal govenments hand to cancel the rest of the NRL season.

    Why the fuck do Sale have so many South Africans? Is that not an unusual amount of players from one foreign nation for one team to have?

    Saracens have had Saffers on the books for years from memory.

    I would assume it is because there isnt any Rugby being played in SA atm.

    Club Rugby in Western Australia is full of Afrikaans.

    South Africa churns out rugby players (and cricketers) by the dozen, and the white ones all end up playing elsewhere as there's no money in SA and often the transformation targets work against them.

    In cricket they all end up as Kolpaks (i.e. count as domestic players under EU law) which is now closing, but in rugby I'm not aware of there being any foreigner limits in English or French rugby so it's a free for all. Almost all the northern hemisphere nations have naturalised saffers in their ranks.

    Covid has really super charged the entitlement and whinging over the ditch.

    Direct quote from the All Blacks coach and fully grown man Ian Foster.

    “What’s upset me the most, is, we have created an amazing environment in New Zealand. Even this last lockdown was only in Auckland. Our Prime Minister said the other day it can happen, so I don’t know why the tournament is not here. How can Fiji go to London?,” Kirwan said.

    “So why aren’t we having this competition in New Zealand? With England, with whoever it is. We’ve made all this sacrifice to make it the safest country in the world and what is happening? I’ve heard it’s going to be in Brisbane. Fiji is going north. What is happening?”

    They can easily hold it if all the teams do the 2 week quarantine. It makes no sense to miss out on money involved around live sports.

    East Brisbane is thriving since the AFL relocated to QLD. Pubs, resturants and hotels are packed every weekend and sometimes during the week.

    Against the most exciting side in the division? Probably yeah. Saints are a bit too good at the minute. They need to lose a couple to the NRL.

    It is hard not to laugh at New Zealand Rugby bosses atm after the way they have behaved this year in their dealings with the ARU and SARU.

    The flow on affect from this tournament is great news for the hospitality industry and for tourism.

    Rugby Championship tournament to be hosted by Australia
    The tournament will comprise 12 round-robin matches between Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina, played as six double-headers.

    The ABC understands all the matches will be played in New South Wales, apart from one double-header, which will be played in Brisbane.
