@Bovidae said in Aussie Rugby:

McLennan is the one who needs to be sacked. I thought that RA doesn't have any money?

There will always be a bit of money from someone in return for favours.

[Bovidae]

@antipodean Assualt?

@Bovidae Aussie spelling.

So much for the week of positive press for Aussie rugby

[mariner4life]

the "low hanging fruit" joke here is

Kurtley is trying to grab Eddie's attention by acting like an NRL player

[NTA]

Correct spelling here

Beale granted bail after being charged over alleged sexual assault

[Dan54]

@NTA Shit!!! The game doesn't need that as well as if it true I feel for the woman!

[Machpants]

"sexual intercourse without consent" is one of the charges. Isn't that rape?

Shitty PR to put a downer on the Eddie Jones coup

[game_film]

Most unbelievable thing about this is that Kurtley’s still getting paid (suspended, yes but has a contract) to play rugby in 2023. Remember that video of him with the old fella and the Charlie?

[Stargazer]

@game_film He is still getting paid, because he's considered innocent until proven guilty, and rightly so. If found guilty, he'll lose his job.

@Tim A good read.

McLennan is basically the CEO - Marinos is just his lap dog who does the dirty work.

I can't understand the shift to Jones - but little class in the way they went about it.

[game_film]

@Stargazer Didn’t mean it like that mate. I meant in 2023 Kurtley is still getting paid to play by Rugby Oz. Not in the legal sense, completely aside of that, but in the career sense.

Ekuasi interesting.

He was stuck behind an Aussie in the NPC now gets his Super chance in Aussie.

@KiwiMurph

He was more than good enough to start NPC matches and be a squad member in a NZ SR side. Bone headed selections at NPC level are having a flow on effect
