Quite true Bill. Sua’ali’i probably wouldn’t have the headlines without the RA mad contract.
I wonder if he will be back, or will he continue to chase the silly money available in say French or Japanese rugby?

Maybe the NRL should just buy them out and end their pain? 😁

Yeah, not sure they’re even allowed to use nicknames in the era of the permanently offended 😊

You have to think that the Roosters’ system and culture is better than both the Waratahs and the Wallabies at the moment, so he has a great opportunity

That’s interesting, and a great idea for an article 😊
Nick Politis has been involved with the Roosters for over 30 years now and has probably had the most influence over a single club’s success outside of St George’s Frank Facer. Sadly Facer died at just 58 years of age back in the late 70’s, and I wonder how much different the Dragons’ fortunes would have been if he’d lived as long as Politis.

I agree that both Politis and Vlandys are great operators, but while rugby has been severely wounded by the likes of Eddie and the Hamster, it’s hardly dead.

Both, I believe

Great movie. M W has certainly had some hits. Also loved him in Lone Survivor

Cheers mate. The thing about Politis is that he almost never gets it wrong. Reminiscent of Frank Facer back when the Dragons were a force to be reckoned with.

I’ve seen enough of Sua’ali’i to form an opinion, but not enough of Marky Mark yet. Sua’ali’i is good, but far from great.
