    I don't think the speculation is that outrageous

    There's a home Rugby World Cup in 2027

    What else does he have left to achieve in League?

    People get out of contracts all the time

    Not long to get his head around that level of change - needs a lot of time at pro level if he's going to be a playmaker.

    Did Cleary even play at school? Suali'i did which would have helped, but IMHO he still looks a little hesitant to position around rucks etc

    Yes he would need to make the switch very soon. I guess the flip side is he'd probably back himself to make the squad - 10 isn't exactly a position of strength.

        That's a move that can only help his career.

          It worked for Lolesio and then he fell off.

            A system that gave more front ball and structure for Lolesio will make Edmed first choice #10 for the Wallabies at the RWC.

                RA seems to be trying to provide more opportunities for players above club level.

                        i expect the best pros will be trying to get gigs elsewhere, not knocking around a new short domestic comp, mostly i would guess it will be development and squad players

                        and we need to give players in these other states some sort of pathway

                            Sydney clubs scuttled every other attempt at a competition without their specific representation.

                            This is what we have left...

                                  No real surprises there. Salakia-Loto might be the most notable omission, he was good last year.

                                      Harry Potter heading to the Tahs.

                                      A luxury signing considering their big needs in the tight 5 and at 10.
