Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

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...

Re: Law changes - Scrums from Free kicks goooone

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...

Re: Melbourne Rebels... faaaaarked!

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...
