Weird not paywalled for me, or maybe there's a few free wach time period
I think they're still using a system of free articles per month up to a limit.
Still a fair bit of cheddar for a loss.
I'd love to get $5k to be second best at my job.

@kiwimurph will be a good fullback option , after watching the first round ,none of the fullbacks really threw their hands up with the exception of the Reds fullback ,name escapes me.

Jock Campbell. Looks promising - right height and build. Decent boot and counterattack as well as defence. He's 26 now and probably hitting his straps.

Reds have Westpac on the front of their jersey - was announced late last week and they definitely had them on the front on Saturday.
Rebels had someone called Ebury on theirs.

@kiwiwomble they're not doing much on those "Team" pages - no player stats or anything...

@nta and sponsors have obviously come in after the supporters jerseys were produced, not quite as bad but still not a good sign

@kiwiwomble You'd think an entire fucking off-season lasting 6 months would allow them the time to sort their shit out.

@machpants so it was you must be playing in Australia, then you could be overseas but played for the Wallabies 60 times, now it's half that. Entirely predictable slide down the slope to "are you eligible and willing to play for Australia?"

There a max of 3 though, so that’s one tightening of rules

@antipodean open slather is inevitable. Probably for NZ too, a bit further down the line.
