@mariner4life said in Aussie Rugby:
Is Australian rugby really as backward looking and thinking as it is coming across as at the moment?
Every fucking thing i read at the moment is about "returning to the glory years" and harking back to the 90s, or christ now it's "the pride the Ella's had".
News flash dickheads. Success in modern elite rugby isn't about fucking mindset, or passion, or calling on the spirit of the periods when the Wallabies were good.
It's about pathways and development and preparation and plans to maximise talent.
If this isn't just window dressing for the public, and RA really do think the job is done, then this is going to crash and burn just so hard.
Amen , geez talk about taking thoughts from my mind, only you express them better than me!!

I'm more worried that the Australian Fijian wing pool has dried up so much you have to import ineligible Fijians now.

@Stargazer so it's RWC or bust. That seems a strange plan, but I'm not a coaching genius or clever advertising exec.

He's a front rower.
But yeah, Nadolo's return to the Tahs is plain weird.

Haha, I saw Fijian and just assumed winger ...
If Nadolo can replicate the form from when he was a Crusader then he'd be a good buy.

@Stargazer said in Aussie Rugby:
For a kid that was a second string halfback (behind Matt Henjak) as a junior player, to then redefine his career as a 2nd 5 and also a 1st 5, I take my hat off to him. He did have a few injuries over the years, but overall his longevity has been pretty remarkable.

It's a racing industry phrase.
Maybe "the horse guy" has infiltrated ARU after all...
