Yes exactly. Certain types are throwing their toys over nothing

https://i.imgur.com/dvmkrun.jpeg This shouldn’t be a law trial. This should be a law change as well. Complete waste of time to sanction a not-straight throw if the other team didn’t even contest the lineout. It just slows the game down for no good reason. What would stop the ball being thrown strai...

I've seen the Northern lights, but it was mostly green. Is it different based on the hemispheres, or just luck of the draw?

Zakar

So good? Make a semi final. Listen buddy, Schmidt hasn't gotten you out of that glass house just yet, so put the stone down, sit in the corner and be quiet. When you get into a quarter final again you may politely raise your hand if you want to speak! :P We're not good. We've been good though.

Yeah. How old is he? 24, 25 or so. He has been plagued with injury throughout his short senior career. He might be thinking that if he doesn’t go now he may not have another opportunity. The Tahs is not the most functional environment for an up and coming young footy player. He's on the RPA minimum...

Flook’s chiropractor must be happy
Poor guy is going to be very sore. But he fella is tough for an average size guy.

He's a good player, but he's got shoulders like a snake.

Well played Rebels :thumbup: Honestly Paul Williams is such a shit ref. So many strange calls both ways. Yeah he's not biased, just wildly inconsistent. Just wild, really. No idea how he’s a professional. Rebels got dudded at the end with that knock on. Reds the same at the lineout before. Countles...

Good match, Rebels blow hot and cold but can really turn it on when they're on.

Zakar

That went back.

Zakar

I wouldn't put Vunivalu on unless I was 20 up.

Zakar

Jooste really making Flook his bitch

Zakar

Shit, ulna fracture for Wilson maybe?

Hamstring niggle I think. Supposed to be back soon.

Zakar

Shit he can score em

Zakar

Dungunu murdered Ryan in backplay there.

Good try.

He was three meters offside

Seems OK, just a stinger maybe.

Spoke too soon.

Is there squad depth at 8 for the Reds? Just Uru?

shanky wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 11:27 am Not criticising the ref, but he’s gone from pinging an attacking cleaner at first, to allowing players to waltz through the ruck more recently

Players need to adjust

He's been inscrutable

Zakar

This is the best I've ever seen Nick Jooste play.

Zakar

Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum. On the topic, I saw this posted https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNJyTrXX0AAsYMG?format=jpg&name=900x900 Incredible how much the game has changed in the 3...

That’s awful.

Yep.

Thankfully, life turned out really well for him, incredible surfer and made a real go of the LA thing, but it was millimetres from being otherwise.

Zakar

Sorry. Just angry about what I’ve seen For example, I’ve seen the best player come out of Adelaide playing 3rd grade colts behind some Tarquin from Scots etc. It boils my blood so it does. Our system is fecked and no one upstairs cares. Sorry Best player I ever played with or against as a junior (a...

If the Rebels do go cactus, then the brumbies should definitely take their catchment and move to Melbourne. No one supports them in Canberra anyway, and the brumbies system overlayed an actual jr pathway would be a good combo. Rebrand as the Southern Brumbies, with half their games played in Canber...

The south African rugby union player who was signed by the dragons? Bizzare to bring him up.

Fun fact, he's now a financial advisor for Crestone.

I think they’re grateful for it. You know?

Allowed the Vikings in too, until they kept winning.

Merge them with Penrith Emus

As much as I'd prefer the Rebels could be saved, I'd be happy taking over their catchment. Could even keep the Rebels as an academy team and have them play John I Dent Cup.

Whole thing has been a joke. How hard is it to get all the teams to play at a new stadium? 5 AFL teams have Marvel Stadium as their home ground and 4 AFL teams have MCG as their home stadium. No teams want to commit to the new Auckland stadium because there have been no costs presented. Is this a b...

Hope we can keep most of these players in rugby and away from League By u20s they are all signed to rugby. It's u18s where we lose them. Yes but they can go for bigger money in League no? They wouldn't be getting much money from rugby contracts at that age, if any. I'd imagine most are on academy c...

This Leahy fella looks good. He was good on the wing last year. He's been good at centre? He's a big lad. Yeah from what I saw of him today, he was one of our best players. Stainforth on the wing also looked good. Apparently he's with Brumbies. I wonder if he's related to any of the ex players? Nep...
