And Edgar A. Poe said “…the time will arrive when you will learn to judge for yourself of what is going on in the world, without trusting to the gossip of others. Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.”
Would like to know what he really got. The $8M seems high, but judging by the Folau’s reaction, it was a decent amount
Martin: Folau settlement like a Christmas present
It might not be the $8M reported, but their smiles say it was substantial

If they paid anywhere near the reported $8M, then they did get it wrong
Rugby Australia CEO on Folau: 'We didn't get it wrong'
I remember you saying something similar.
Why would RA pay out such a large sum, and not take a chance on court?
Is there anyway of verifying that figure? Will it come out in RA’s balance sheet?

No wonder he’s smiling and feels vindicated

The original flood story. Which the Torah plagiarised, and then the Bible plagiarised the Torah.
Soros, Trump and Zuckerberg make me think we’re in a simulation
Rugby AU and Israel Folau settle legal dispute
The simulation would have been created by some physical alien, or machine, and not some divine acorporeal being? Suppose God could have created a machine to create a simulation, and place us in it. Not very efficient, not that he has been if you believe in intelligent design either

We may never know, but my guess is in the 3-5M range, similar to yours. The 14M was always a starting point on the high side, or ambit

He would secretly love it. As Shakespeare said “the policeman who lashes the [lady of the night] has a hot need to use her for the very offense for which he plies the lash.” This applies to Folau’s repressed desires as well

Hope the amount gets out. I’d say it was significant. Nowhere near the 14M, but probably 3+. This is just my 2 cent guess though

Folau wouldn’t have settled for small money. Will be interesting to see how much, if it ever gets out

This is the classic response from CC deniers. Question the science, produce some fringe scientists that agree with their position. When that doesn’t work, get bogged down on semantics about what the Scientific method is, or isn’t. The cigarette companies strategy in play here, and that’s how history will most likely remember the CC deniers.
Let’s ignore that half the world’s trees have been cut down since Civilisation (The major carbon soak). That we are heading for oceans with no wild fish remaining, possibly in the next 50 years. That we already have oceans full of micro-plastics, rubbish, and many of our larger fish have high mercury levels. Let’s ignore the big picture stuff and get into the fallacy of composition

Zaphod, Marvin, the Windows paperclip, proven warriors more worthy than Folau

Yes, all for AI. Long live AI. /whispers – Just in case I’m still alive when AI becomes our overlords

Robbie can’t be as bad as Vista. Then again, I’d take evil data over regular data as captain. Might continue our unpopularity with the refs though
Just realised I didn’t follow his pattern, too lazy to correct it anyway

No Di Patson?
Would add some AI to the mix:
HAL
Roy Batty
SKYNET
Ex Machina

What I mean Aiden, by corridor creeper. Is the type of Narcissistic thief in a suit, who talks the talks, but is only really in it for personal gain. To the best of my knowledge the current crop of administration over rising through the ranks, started with J Edgar Hoover.
Fast forward to today, and we have an administrator who has not come through the ranks, running a corporation, as the norm.
So my point is, that less corridor creepers, and more rugby people, can only be a good thing, and yes, I realise some on the board have done this. However, it would seem that they have the lesser voice, when it comes to the direction of rugby in Australia

“My ambitions are the same as everyone, to get in that starting team, but with the changing of the guard there’s a bit of unknown there,” Toomua said.
“Like others you have dreams of being in a starting jersey and for me it would be that 10 jersey.”
I will have some competition there as well with Andrew Deegan, who did really well at the (Western) Force, so we’ve recruited well,” Toomua said.
“There’s some big holes with Will and Quade gone but I think with the young guys we’ve got coming through there’s a recipe for success.”
On Rennie:
“I played against teams that he coached early on – was on the losing side in the Australian under 20s World Cup final and then the Super Rugby final, so hopefully he can help us win one,” Toomua said.

Agree. Less corridor creepers, and more rugby men and women are needed.

Scrap the rule in a RWC year. Outside, only select local
Also, hard to use the LA’s of rugby as any comparison when deciding on the Giteau rule
Don’t give Giteau’s Law the boot
Here’s a transcript for those who can’t view the video
“There’s been a lot of due diligence, a lot of time spent in the last nine months, ever since Michael Cheika said to Raelene Castle that he won’t continue post-Rugby World Cup this year,” Horan
“So they’ve had a good search around the world, they’ve searched high and low.
“First of all they had a look in Australia and as Raelene mentioned, they probably haven’t found the right person in Australia at the moment.
“I think it’s a good call.
“Dave Rennie’s accomplishments for the Chiefs in Hamilton many years ago, won not only Super Rugby titles but has taken them to the finals in every year that he was there coaching.
“So that’s really important, along with what he’s done in Glasgow as well.
“From what I’ve heard — I’ve spoken to players who have played underneath him and they respect him as a very good coach.
“A good field coach and I think he’ll do wonders for Australian rugby.”
