Re: Super Rugby 2024
I'd rather the Blues could host another home game in Northland and can the Super Round. They would get a bigger crowd in Northland that what Melbourne got. 12,000 crowd each day or whatever it was is honestly poor when you consider its a home game for half the teams. How does it get shared between ...

Re: Melbourne Rebels goooooooone… soon to be Rebels Pasifika?
Nope. I think most of the journeymen will find spots in the lower leagues of the UK, France and Japan. Should Oz rugby prioritise employment opportunities for mediocre players or are there more important things to focus on? It’s not all mediocre how do players get exposure you don’t just manufactur...

The Victorian government gives them money. That’s what it’s all about. Get rid of it. I think the concept is great, one weekend when all teams play at the same venue. It's a great opportunity to create a festival of Super Rugby. But Melbourne simply hasn't worked. I've thought of what an alternativ...

Personally I'd go with Gordon/Lolesio at 9/10 Just putting it out there… I thought Gordon was serving up absolute rubbish until the last half hour of the game on the weekend. Lolesio needs more games like round 1, and less like round 2 to come back into consideration. Anyways, loving the selection ...
