The calibre of our players has certainly decreased. I don’t think it’s ‘toughness’. It’s just quality. And it explains our decline over the past decade.
Most on here want to blame the coach, but it’s the cattle. Was for every coach, from Deans forward. It’s a constant decline in quality that has matched our decline in success. Causation, not correlation.

'Stands out like dog's balls', 'set up for failure': Wretched Eddie-Slips moment that explains World Cup disaster

That is great but then his injuries started. And he would be a better player and less injury prone if he trimmed some of his excess body fat.
I think he’s a fabulous player. But he certainly could be better, and he’s body is the key to that.

At least they can pay the bill.

The problem is Super Rugby. It has very little appeal.

But is it a typo Piru? 😁

CONFIRMED: Rebels CEO made redundant and coaches have contract cuts as hopes of Super Rugby survival fade

Rebels should be closed immediately. The cost to keep them in 2024 will be massive. And it’s all a total waste of that money. Spend it on contract payouts and repaying their debt.

It works for every other sport. I love watching my local club play and the standard is pretty average.

you’re a Kiwi correct?

The ATO doesn’t decide that a company can trade insolently. The company directors do.
The ATO has no responsibility to manage the financial affairs of a company. The ATO has a responsibility to assess and collect taxation, that’s it.

It’s dissent. Stop making excuses.

Shove your blue cards where the sun doesn't shine, football - the game is already over-officiated

No, it isn’t.

I don’t think you understand how Administration works.

No, it’s not indicative of anything. It’s an error. I know because I made the same error when addressing a meeting of professional colleagues recently. Embarrassing. I emailed the person I repeatedly called Dan instead of Dave to apologise. He said it was funny and don’t worry about it.

No Stuart. A 15 year old must not talk to a referee like that. Telling them to use their whistle. You should try referring yourself mate. This attitude that this sort of dissent is ok is a blight on the game.

That is a great idea. Should be a Blue Card for any purposeful and obvious foul, such has pulling on a jersey or grabbing an arm. Far too much of this happens.

It works well in Church League up here in Queensland. Behavioural has improved a lot since they brought in the sin bin a couple of years ago. When players know they’re liable to be sent off for 10 minutes, they become a lot more reasonable in their pleas to the referee. They still argue, but they argue with less emotion and more respect.

10 minute send off for dissent is a great idea. There is far too much of it at all levels of football.

Ok. No problem El. You are obviously entitled to your opinion. But they do tend to be very critical mate!

This will be great for Lachie. Hope he can stay injury free.

Ha, ha. I have met Lachie. I would like to see you tell him he isn’t a ‘real’ enforcer. I look yay your comment history. Post after post of derogatory comments about Australian players. Great work mate. Keep it up, sunshine.

Let me guess, you’re a Kiwi, as is the author? Very proud of my school and the type of men it produces. I boarded for 12 years in an all male school. Living away from home at age 6. You think that is easy? Cold showers twice a day, until year 7 when some do-gooders made that stop. Try that with your six year old.

PS. I don’t doubt the NZ clubs know how to run a rugby club, Jacko. But it’s a different landscape in Australia with a lot of competition from league, Aussie Rules and soccer.

Storm’s success? Simple, it’s Rugby League.
