Rugby News: RA hunting missing million after contract blunder, Suaalii worth 10x more than his deal, McKellar's big win
Thanks buddy.. it can be a sorta weird dynamic at times, especially when texting loved ones. Hence, my preference for ringing them instead.. obviously not tight enough to do that here with Tony 😂
COMMENT: 'Best interests of the game'? Hamish's dummy spit proves RA was right to cut him loose
Hi Tony… on re-reading my comment I feel I may have balls it up.
I. in no way, was stating/ inferring you had the ego et al issue… no, that was absolutely on and directed at Hamish. Apologies for any misunderstanding 😁
COMMENT: 'Best interests of the game'? Hamish's dummy spit proves RA was right to cut him loose
Thanks Tony… for telling it now as it is. A guy with an ego the size of a jumbo jet and a sense of self-entitlement that takes one’s breath away.
At least he made good on his threat… ‘Spear me and there will be pain’ Or words similar…
What a total shyte show 😔

For what it’s worth… I think many a rugby prop would disagree!? 😛
ANALYSIS: McLennan's fatal blind spot, and why his exit leaves Australian rugby in a better place and a worse one
I think it was one of them rhetorical type thingys… well knowing a man with an ego the size of a jumbo jet would reject. Regardless, I take your point 👍

Morning G… and wasn’t that a fascinating test match over the w’end here down under. Gotta say it was impressive how the tight five six got on the front foot so early in the competition. Didn’t yield any territory, had a clear game plan, took the points on offer… and ended up taking the chocolates. Could say it was the perfect ‘smash and grab’ considering the final result.
And, you’ll be happy to hear, I’ve already sent a block of some of the sponsor’s finest to our outgoing captain… just to cheer him up a wee bit. Such a shame…
So, now… to the future, and fair to say, there is a future methinks. There will still be friction between the backs and forwards… but hopefully they will all now understand the bigger picture and that it will take unity, selflessness and a holistic desire to make Aussie rugby great again. Better.
Enjoy your break, a break you were meant to be having… before all hell broke lose! 😂

States not RA the issue Australian rugby is facing as Wallabies great calls on reform measures to be backed
How convenient for Phil to suddenly join in the conversation… it’s not him that’s the issue it’s the states. Sorry… it’s not Ham that’s the issue it’s the states. Ah, ffs! 😔
Phil… it’s Ham that’s the issue presently full stop. And, besides, the states have always been an issue, so let’s remove the obvious hurdle first… then deal with those historical other issues later. Yes?!? 👍

'No longer have any trust or faith': Rugby Australia chairman told to resign by SIX states, EGM looms with 'gloves off'
Don’t know about it being ‘revolting’… more a reflection on one of, if not the only, most embarrassing dysfunctional episodes in Aussie rugby history.
And all because of one man’s inability to perform his role that was entrusted to him. Then stacks on the mill by refusing to take responsibility for his own failures. Many failures. Failed.
Now that’s revolting… if not just self-centred and narcissistic.

Yes, cookie… did think similar but at least it’s now underway 👍

Finally!
Even when staring death in the face this person is still so narcissistic that he won’t just do the honourable thing… and resign. Shameful. A pox on your house!
