Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

[Mother Nature's Son]

Union fans we’re talking about how the wallabies have signed this all star coaching team

Great headline in today`s SMH, "Up Schmidt Creek ".
Delicious headline in the The Australian all week as well " The new era for rugby"
f**k I love seeing those bastards suffer.

All Blacks after two successive losses are going to be primed to give the wallabies a thumping next week in Sydney. Doubt there will be any of the usual `go easy on the poor old wallabies` in this one. Just going to make Oz union look more and more third tier.

Hopefully the AB's put 80 on the Wallabies... which would actually be bad news for both teams moving forward as it will illustrate clearly that the AB's are isolated as Trans Tasman matches are no longer viable from a performance perspective for NZ.

Third tier?

Third tier?

Yeah. More like 5th tier.

NZ’s biggest winning margin over the wallabies is 37 points. Can easily be eclipsed if the script happens. All Blacks even use the Bledisloe to give some second stringers a run.

Zach Filter ( Roosters ) and Heamasi Makasini ( Tigers ) have been selected to the Australian U18 Wallabies squad to tour NZ.

Rugby Australia have a policy of not selecting NRL signed players but have made an exception for these 2 as both have been in the Waratahs development programs and thier NRL deals expire in November.

I doubt Fitler would make NRL but Makasini would be a big loss, was player of the year in the Tigers Harold Mathews team.

Worst case is he plays league a few years to get union to offer 800k

jorgenson is on around 300k which he would double in the nrl after a few years

the roosters union guy will do his stint in league then be worth 1 million in union

Uhh when did the Wallabies start to suck so much?

When they could no longer afford NRL wingers
