Great read.
Glad he’s not playing England these days.
The true inventor of Bazball was born 150 years ago, and his records are still utterly bonkers
Rugby is definitely the game for smart people.
COMMENT: Bizarre selection call that sums up chaos and disconnect at Super Rugby's biggest basket case
There’s not much else for kweenslandahs to be proud of apart from The Saints.
Their attempt at holding an Olympics is quickly turning into an embarrassing sh#tshow, so Origin it is i guess.

Why a draft makes sense as NRL eyes off rapid expansion with nowhere near enough players to fill rosters
Perth, Scotland is just a wee bit too far.
unless there’s another one i’m not aware of?

I appreciate his longevity and the number of wickets he has taken. He is certainly the most prolific fast bowler but he is not at the same level as Marshall, Hadlee, Steyn, McGrath etc.
Many would argue he is not even Englands best ever bowler. That title belongs to Sid Barnes.
England need rejig with Ashes on horizon so now is right time for Anderson to retire one of the greatest of all time
i’m guessing the 4% that think the current state of the game is not declining are on the RA board.

So is your insecurity with the NRL.
Nathan Cleary and Kalyn Ponga would better than any current Oz or NZ rugby 10.

or maybe 3-1.

Walsh is a gun and would probs kill it at rugby but why would he go?
he’s the main man at the Bronco’s and will do very well for himself over the next 10 years.
World cups, Lions tours etc don’t have the allure they used to and Oz rugby is a basket case. If he wanted to play rugby, he’d be better off going straight to Japan ala Manu.
Is Carter Gordon really an NRL prospect... and which Australian rugby legends could have made the switch too?
wet, wet and wet.

Gordon would go alright imo.
He doesn’t have the talent to match the very top NRL players but he would be a solid and reliable addition to any team. Luke Brooks level i reckon.
Defence would be an issue – rugby players aren’t renowned for their tackling competency.
Fitness as well. The rugby guys aren’t super fit. The NRL is a lot faster. He would be involved a lot more and wouldn’t be standing around or walking to lineouts or scrums for 2/3 the game.

ridiculous to leave JFM out. he’s killing it in the IPL.
again the Aussie selectors are conservative.
boring. boring. boring

Gordons role in an NRL team would utilise his talent far more than rugby would. He would be involved much more.
Rugby is the softer and slower game, so it that respect it would be a better choice health-wise and ultimately that is the most important thing.

yeh, earning 4-5m+ playing NRL for the next 8 years would be a serious waste of his talent. he could be dicked around by RA instead for half the money.

crazy not to include JFM in the squad. again, we are too conservative

Without genuine domestic competition in there own countries, Rugby has found itself in a no mans land it has no idea how to get out of.
Exactly.
Super rugby is an amateur comp masquerading as professional. It is a training comp for the national sides. Player movement between teams is highly restricted. Capped Wallabies or All Blacks playing any other franchise than one from their home country doesn’t happen.
They could do worse than taking the best elements from the NRL and AFL as a base for a proper, professional competition.

good ideas.
I’ve always been of the belief that RA should take elements from both the NRL and AFL to structure a professional competition. SRP is an amateur event masquerading as a pro comp. The unrestricted movement of players between teams would make the competition much better.
Can’t either RA or NZ going for it though. They are stuck in the 1980’s.

Oz Rugby is very insecure when it comes to this. Not sure why. You’d think they’d be welcoming players with more talent the the current crop.
