The Roar is not really a rugby site, but it seems to err on the side of 'As long as it suits whatever barrow we are pushing it is all good'.
For someone as ignorant as TWAS who seemingly has multiple account to go along fine but reasonable posters who call his shit getting put into moderation cues. Yeah, it's a mess.
It is own of the few sites that gives the game an actual airing in Australia and for people to express their views

It's got virtually no moderation...or should I say virtual moderation
It automatically puts you in a queue when words on a proscribed list are detected. Not like cycling news, where I read literally thousands of posts, many threads descending into personal attack and vitriol. I had to carefully edit posts that contained jems, removing the dross. I also deleted whole posts and either warned or banned the poster. I also had to delete multiple posts to get a thread back on topic after it was hijacked. None of that happens on Roar, or really any of the other rugby sites
The long sobs of autumn's violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor
That used to be the case on the Roar but now there are posters who are getting 100% moderated.

Melbourne Rebels announce Jono Lance and Anaru Rangi as new signings.
That makes it the entire Force coaching staff plus Meakes, Lance, Hardwick, Philip, D Haylett-Petty, R Haylett Petty, Faulkner, Daley, Ainsley and Rangi. They will announce Adam Coleman once the salary cap is increased.
Did I miss anyone?
Disgusted to say it but the Rebels will have a very strong team.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Louwrens is heading back to South Africa from what I understand
Grant- heading to japan next year
What a loss losing Louwrens back to SA. Hope the SARU treat him better than the FURU have.
Proudly Western Australian; Proudly supporting Western Australian rugby
The head of athletic performance (Will Markwick I think?) has also been exiled to the Melbourne Force

It's a tough one giving up your residency even though I can understand having to find a team.

Rotten luck for him. I thought he and Ruru would be snapped up for sure. Rat's Arse is not exactly brimming with quality scrummies.
Good luck to the boys who are contracted. I won't watch them but I hope they top the pool at least. I like the "Melbourne Force" Monika for the team. The organisation can stay named the Fraudulent Rabble.
