The ponies are good on the field but broke as shit off it.
The tahs are just broke.
Neither can draw a crowd to generate gate funds.
None of these fluffybunnies can run a program. RA is in debt up to its fucking eyeballs, and looking to take on more.
What do people do in Canberra?
Government work. @antipodean knows more 😜

What else is there to lure people away from watching the Brumbies?

Warm weather at the coast. Went for a ride today in brilliant weather to find all of Canberra had much the same idea. fluffybunnies.

Penrith defending like Italy.
Or are Brisbane just that good? Mam a couple of yards faster than his defenders
Nah. Penrith look out on their feet. Can't keep a line and none of them can make a dominant tackle.
Brisbane just so much quicker
I'd say more energy running at a defensive line that's on their heels and can't stop an offload. Meanwhile Cleary looks like the flat track bully he and his chin are. At no point has he taken control of this game for his team. I hope the next SoO coach is paying attention.
Sorry mate but this comment aged Soo poorly
One left foot step and he's a genius.
How did Brisbane lose that!?
Penrith lost their mojo until cleary demonstrated what it looked like. Not a genius but if rugby was going to throw money at a league player, I'd want him
To play where?

On a rugby field, I guess. First receiver as a preference.

He seems to be less involved than Mo'unga for most of the match. I just don't think players can transition into such important positions without considerable time, which they aren't afforded before being placed on the scrap heap.

And you're probably right about that - outside backs the easiest transition.
But it would be a better investment than Suali'i or Crichton, which is to say not very good.

@NTA I never understand RA's fascination with getting different backs to address what is clearly a forward's problem.

Not enough props on the board.

Yeah I can imagine him in the wallabies before the next RWC, but like most he will play league until the season before, take a massive widge of cash for two seasons, and never figure out union before he crashes out as they all do with too much expected too soon

seems a really solid investment for the future of the game....spend loads on a guy that only has 1 world cup cycle in him and no connection to Rugby Union....

Being generous it could just be a desperate attempt at getting clicks. But socalled sports journalist so probably not.

Desperation is a stinky cologne…..
They’re at the stage where they’re throwing money in blind hope for the next SBW but will probably end up with the next RTS instead
( feel free to insert equivalent Australian league players in for better context )

Actually if they want to target someone maybe that Ezra Mam. He actually played union at school.

@voodoo NZ doesn't look much better to me, clubs going belly up, abysmal crowds in stands, i think some of us look at +60k people turning up to an AB's game and think all is fine....what we need to +20k every week for all teams in the super rugby
Why, when you can watch it from home and not get gouged for food and drinks at a ridiculous nonfamily friendly time?
I guess the question is how do the AFL and NRL still get plenty of numbers turning up.
Atmosphere that doesn't rely on some shit DJ ?
Well, the worst shit DJ I have ever experienced in my life was at the Warriors v Penrith prelim final, so it appears the NRL gets the numbers in spite of the shit DJs.
This. Broncos v Souths couple of years ago.
