'Not really': RA boss shuts down pursuing NRL star, delivers update on Schmidt's Wallabies future

Touché!
You win the spelling bee, Stu.

'We switch off': All Blacks great says Super Rugby's future depends on Australia pulling its finger out

Oh shock, horror.
Media monkeys are struggling to understand that there’s an elephant in the room.

I hope that you’re right Hughie. The longer it drags on, the more hopeful I get.

“ But the hypocrisy is strong, with Schmidt ……Should Schmidt decide against renewing his contract, how would he view his own decision to move on?

Oh Christy, you can take the boy out of the tabloids, but you can’t take the tabloid short cuts out of the boy.

SeattleTahs?

Forgotten Aussie young gun who would be 'easily the best 10 in the world'

Yes AA Positive projections are great, and Joe has lifted confidence but Oz sides still have to charge step by step, 15 v 15 up the scoreboard against NZ teams that have high scoreboards.
We need plans and development systems. Then we have a chance.

Ten fearless predictions for 2025: Schmidt departs, Aussies go deep in Super Rugby, Wallaroos' landmark year

Sydney to host 2027 World Cup final with Melbourne shut out of tournament after Rebels debacle - report

Superannuated storytellers seem to have managed an apparent victory, yes Train.
“Voting results”?
Popularity is a measure of worth, beauty and truth?
NRL really is ‘the greatest game of all’? Channel 9 audiences suppest it is.
The AFL decider really is over ‘the Holy Grail’? Melbourne mania says yes.

Truth and consensus are hardly equivalent, and are even more disparate in an opaque system.

Apologies, I meant to say learnings.

Joe Schmidt has shown the way forward in 2024 and a Lions triumph is possible - this is how he can do it

I know that this is a rugby site, but if there is ‘more to life than rugby’, any outrage about a Victorian stadium decision is small beer compared to what was done to Victorians by their own government and unelected bureaucracy since 2020.
This outcome for Victorian rugby fans is unfortunate- but worse has been done to them.

“ Doesn’t speak well of RA if ……”
is an oft repeated, superfluous phrase Brendan.
But add more straw to the camel’s back if you wish.

Victorians have been punished enough Jimmy
Their elected ‘representatives’ and non-elected bureaucrats are another matter.

Wow, Mugs, there’s some learning in that one.
Not sure I’m up for it.

I get the ‘scab picking’ and ‘recent’ part, and who could assume that he’d even want it, but technically it makes some sense to me.
If not him, Kiss might resonate?

I’m not holding my breath numpty, and I don’t know enough to argue for it. But we should be courting someone like Joe, or someone like Dave, imo if we need a re-set next year.

“ The improvement from …Argentina …..to ….Dublin was remarkable. ”
I see two trajectories at play Harry. I’m guessing that you do too. Scoreboard improvements are visible. Other improvements are not so visible (and hard to argue in words on a sports website). Yet I see some fwiw.
Joe is building a chassis for a Grand Prix. Victories this year have the comparative relevant of street races.
