Re: Kurt Beale arrested for alleged sexual assault…

He was a toxic plum well before that and was well past his use by date. Lucky for him Farce only want to sign over the hill players.

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders

Foketi is only just almost soup level. His international career is because we have been pretty thin on the ranks at 12. And Eddie liked ex-leaguies. I like Foketi and think he’s a smart player. Paisami is having a very good year and seems to be getting better, so he’d be the leading contender imo. ...

Seems that way. Landers have never been a top team but they've never been this bad.
What do you mean they've never been a top team?

They were literally the top team in 2015.

This.

Despite playing shit, and missing 2 of your top 3 players, with another going down early, still put 31 on the Highlanders and didn't allow a point. That's decent.

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders

Paisami's size worries me. Lolesio, Paisami, Ikitau would probably be the smallest backline ever. But Paisami has been the form 12 so far for Oz in the soups. He's been on 108kg Tele'a since Petaia went off. His size isn't an issue. It can potentially be at test level against top teams who tend to ...

So the Wallabies pick up the Rebels forwards coach as their line out specialist. Hmm……. Geoff Parling was also involved with Wallabies in the past.

I prefer players with complementary skillsets. I know the thinking is revolutionary in Australian rugby. I might offer my services as a consultant. Contact Eddie Jones.. I played a game of league once. Good idea. He'll make you one of his many assistant coaches or maybe just put you on the wing.
