      @Bovidae

      Yeah, a real NZ tinge at the Force now.
      Both the GM and head coach are Kiwis as well.

              Seems the rumours about Carter Gordon returning to rugby are about to be confirmed. Announcement on Monday.

                Transfer fee of "six figures" in the same week they've cut millions from the women's program.

                Okey dokey...

                  Right decision by RA on Carter Gordon given the options available.

                  The women's rugby decision however.....

                    Hilarious. Played fuck all games for the Titans all year and he was free to move on, so RA pay the Titans for the privilege of having a player they didn't want and would free up room in their salary cap.

                    On what planet would he command seven figure in France?

                      Maybe a couple more NRLW teams in the pipeline.
                      Force and Bears should definitely try and get one up.

                      No way i'd ever pay a transfer fee. But RA obviosly tryin to get the best possible squad together for 27.

                        I didn't look at Gordon and think future superstar. Wonder why they think he's worth so much.

                          Well great news for RA and Reds, Gordon has signed. It's good for Reds and Wallabies to have more options at 10.

                            im coming around to the idea the 2027 Rugby is no longer this awesome opportunity for Rugby in Aussie...but more they just want to save face...another poor showing at a home RWC could kill the game

                                Uncapped Queensland pair Aidan Ross and Kalani Thomas join the freshly re-signed Carter Gordon while Dylan Pietsch and Andrew Kellaway also make their returns from injury.

                                    They are going to get $100m broadcasting fee from the RWC which will help enormously

                                    They've just had 7 home tests averaging 53,308 per test

                                    By all accounts the Bledisloe tv ratings were very strong.

                                    Aus love a good home sporting festival - as the Lions showed.

                                      No way i'd ever pay a transfer fee. But RA obviosly tryin to get the best possible squad together for 27.

                                      im coming around to the idea the 2027 Rugby is no longer this awesome opportunity for Rugby in Aussie...but more they just want to save face...another poor showing at a home RWC could kill the game

                                      They just delivered an outstanding Lions series.

                                      Let's dial down the pessimism.

                                      The real worry should be 2031 RWC in the USA

                                      just calling it how i see it on the ground, when it was annouced there was the feeling we'd see a new boom in interest.....but now it feel like theyre still just trying to hold onto the their base

                                      They are going to get $100m broadcasting fee from the RWC which will help enormously

                                      They've just had 7 home tests averaging 53,308 per test

                                      By all accounts the Bledisloe tv ratings were very strong.

                                      Aus love a good home sporting festival - as the Lions showed.

                                      @KiwiMurph pitty we so little of that at lower levels outside central sydney or Brisbane, they were giving lions tickets away in the days leading up to it

                                      thats the crux...we need people to more invested than just the big show, i think alsmo anyone can get good turnouts for things like the lions

                                        I didn't look at Gordon and think future superstar. Wonder why they think he's worth so much.

                                        I think it's more of a case of look at the alternatives

                                        JOC may not even make 2027

                                        Quade and presumably Foley are done.

                                        Lynagh has serious injury concerns

                                        Lolesio had a very serious long term injury this year

                                        They dont rate Donaldson/He has never knocked down the door

                                        Edmed has shown very little.

                                        In the other words the cupboard is bare - Carter Gordon was the best realistic option available to them.

                                          And all that Lions tour money is already gone.

                                          Paid off RA debt.
