What has Rugby Australia done wrong in Folau's saga?

I am looking to cash out Capewell in order to have money in the bank for next week but there is no standout Cow this week.

Nothing, they nailed it IMO. Guys a fucken idiot. Im hearing he wanted out anyway, that's padt of the reason he did it. The other part is to position himself to make millions millions of dollars as a Pastor for the strange Assemblies of God group he's part of. Bloody nutter! He pisses me off. So much harm caused in what he said.

wolfking wrote:Any thoughts lads?  Capewell to Tolo is locked in but also looking at Burns to RTS.  Dunno if I should save the RTS trade.  Would give me;

Cook
Fifi Haas
Murray Arrow Tolo
Morgan ARey
Xerri Nikora
RTS CNK Ponga

Taupau Rein Mahoney Young

Carty Dearden Sivo Lomax

17 trades and 60K left.  Does anyone have any other ideas or should I save the RTS trade?  Will use Burns to look at Sivo first though and asses from there.

Sorry lads but struggling if I bring in RTS now.  Is bringing in a gun like RTS or Teddy just stupid considering I'm ranked around 3000?  Watch Sivo and hold trade or get the gun now? Capewell to Tolo is done.

I don't know much about league, but some OZ blokes on NZ radio made a pretty good case that one spot will be between Reynolds and Clearly, and the other spot between Keary and Walker.

Im thinking the will roll with Cleary Keary

It makes sense since they share the last 4 letters in their Surname.

Hi, my name is Mitchell Peary

Too bad Keary's a Qld'er though and wants to play for Qld.. The actual fuck is he even in the conversation for?

Hopefully Fittler's already struck him out and it's just ignorant media and fans talking him up.

In regards to is Taupau a keeper, based on current averages wouldn't he just skim past Klemmer as backup FRF (and have DPP) based on extra game (with slight possibility of 2 extra games if Klemmer rested after Origin but unlikely)

Klemmer: 54.1 * 13 = 703.3 (703 points)
Taupau: 52.3*14 = 732.2 (732 points)

Although it seems it is time to probably pick them both up as Knights have tougher fixtures so tackle count will be up again (however based on last week his tackle count and main source of points can massively decrease in a blowout) while Taupau is facing Titans and Panthers who are 4th and 1st for most MT (with JFH, Kelly, Peachey, Carty, Cleary high on the list, Maloney top but suspended) so could get extra TBs and offloads

Australia Rugby stuffed up by not adding the social media clause into his contract, despite reports saying they did. Apparently his original contract was meant to have it in, but it wasn't. They then tried twice to add it, but he said no lol.

Now it's created a grey area, which will be challenged in Court. If they lose, they're f*cked. Castles is being pressured to get chopped (we know her track record).

Surely it makes sense to get rid of Bateman, he's still around 4 weeks away. Potential move for RTS or another gun HLF (move Ponga back to WFB) to drop Lomax out of your 17

This. Thinking of this trade next but at the same time quiet worried i'll struggle to find a way to bring him back in. I'm set on Rein to DCE.

Thanks mate, news to me. I hadn't really followed this closely. last time I heard anything he lost his case and wasn't appealing, but I guess he has decided to take legal action? Something along the lines of his contract protecting him despite him breaching the code of conduct?

Bugger - the guy is a loser, I really hope he doesn't get away with this cause of some fuckup oversight in his contract!

Potentially on a glance, a cash out of Young when done and then CNK should be able to get you back to Bateman I'd imagine. I think with my personal team, I should be able to do Tolman straight to Bateman in one trade which is good

He requested in 2014 ish that his eligibility for QLD be reviewed but the NRL blocked it.

A few years ago he then said he is happy to be considered for the blues.

It's a bit silly, but its long sorted.

Rules are a bit funny, it is a bit weird that a guy born and lived in qld til age 10 is considered by the NRL as a blues player.

Funnily enough Staggs said a few weeks ago he goes for QLD, but he is blues eligible.

Farah still worth picking up?
