Congrats to James Slipper - 151 Tests is amazing, even more so when you consider he's done it from the front row!

Some effort. Seems sound too. Was a tremendous Captain through a brutal period for them when Hooper retired.
Some great yarns and hard facts about a tough man (the animal played against the boks with a torn MCL) in this piece: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/we-asked-11-rugby-people-for-their-favourite-james-slipper-story-here-s-what-they-said-20251002-p5mzjl.html

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?

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
