Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

[Wb1234]

He still is lol. He got to play some international sport and make a good bit of cash doing so. I doubt he’s losing any sleep over that decision.

He played international sport before he went to union

and he has been kind of ostracised at kangaroo reunions

Have Mat Rogers, Lote Tuquiri, Timana Tahu, Karmichael Hunt, Brad Thorn, Andrew Walker, Craig Wing, Mark Gasnier and Craig Gower also been ostracised?

If he's being ostracised then then the ex Kangaroos at those reunions are dickheads.

Apparently there was an excellent game of ruggers on last night shrouded in controversy. Apparently the ref blew his 79th penalty in the 79th minute.

That was apparently screened on the home of rugby league, yes?

There was somebody on this forum saying that ruggers was going well.

That same ‘home of rugby league’ wanted to spend a truckload on the fumbles as well. I so hope that we move away from Nine/Foxtel on the next rights deal

And still nobody probably watched it. I played elden ring instead.

Channel Nine is a disgrace. PVL should get them to pull their heads in...

Pretty bad ratings too

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Yawnion fans jumping in to spruik "the international game" when its the worst its ever been is pretty funny

 

[Diesel]

On a Thursday night, most people are home, with no other competition. They won’t release Stan numbers but I wouldn’t think they’re anymore than 1/2 FTA

When exactly is this 'raid' on the nrl going to happen ? Apparently the ARU are selling themselves off to private equity ? Is that where the money is coming from ?

I read today that the Waratahs are over the moon because they beat the Roosters and Bulldogs in signing a school boy...but to compete with the NRL they had to get financial help from the ARU! Doesn't say much for the Tah's finances, to sign a school kid they need the ARU to chip in

Looks like Haas is the latest 'target'...ontop of Burton, Mitchell, Murray, Koala, Turbo, Cleary....anyone I missed ?

I love the self entitlement and ego of the ARU chairman, " spread your wings " " see the world" " do something truly special " ...all the normal rugby BS. He forgets to mention play Super Rugby in front 4 thousand people and a TV audience smaller than MASH reruns

 

[Desert Qlder]

Don’t bring a high quality show like MASH into a discussion about union.

I love how low standard union is, you sign for them you automatically get a Wannabee jersey.

There’s f**k all talent in Union. Luke Brooks could sign and be their best half.

Union bosses: "Hey, rugby players. We know you suffered and sacrificed a lot during Covid but good news. You know those big payrises you wanted? They're going to a bunch of NRL players! So yay!"
