Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I don't know Tristan Reilly but it sounds like another risky signing that could come off. I'd love to see him on the park as quickly as possible.

I reckon top end rugby has better athletes than top end league. There are just more players in union.
 
Re Tristan Reilly.
List of guys who couldn't make waratahs;
Ben Kennedy
Tyson Frizell
Luke Keary
JWH
Not to mention Dave Furner's rugby career didn't go past u21 aus team.

Let's give the new kid a chance.
Rugby is way more about who you know , and what school you went to than league .
It’s the biggest reason the Wallabies are a second tier nation now .
They will only poach league talent when it’s undeniable , yet if the choice is player x has 75% skill of player Y , but X went to joeys , and Y went to Granville high school . Then Y will never get the spot .
It wasn’t as pronounced when that sport went professional in 96 because professionalism hadn’t caused the divide in skill yet . And 99 and even 03 was still much of the same . But eventually elitism took over , and now that sport is barely even financial anymore .
