Pretty good all things considered

Could be some bullshit from a News Corp paper, but if so then it would be really bad for Australian rugby.

This masthead understands Nine and Stan Sport’s initial new offer to RA is $23 million a year, down from the $33 million they pay the game annually.

Great news

[antipodean]

@KiwiMurph if what's reported is accurate, imagine offering your form centre only a single year deal.

Or he didn't want longer, to keep his options open?

EDIT: Oh yeah AR? Probably cos they spend all their money on that Leaguey under previous management, idiots

Harry Wilson’s surge back into the Wallabies frame has been dealt a major blow after the Queensland Reds star suffered a potentially season-ending broken arm in a gritty four-point Super Rugby victory over Melbourne Rebels.

[NTA]

@Duluth real shame as I think the Reds back row has really good balance. The option becomes McReight and Wright with Valetini I guess

[Duluth]

@NTA

That might be better? For all the good that Wilson does he has a high error rate
