Yeah....getting all that money is terrible. RA should turn every dollar down :D Pass that shit on to Manu Samoa if you want....

Hey man...if you think winning 5 games out of 14 (a result that was celebrated as the best ever in their 13-odd years) is great achievement then I'm not the one with NFI. And players SHOULD leave. If you are not good enough to secure a good contract in Australia then you aren't good enough...

I have a little bit of inside knowledge here and I'm told that trying to get RA sign-off on some stuff in terms of SM and marketing can be quite hard. They are pretty old-school and conservative when it comes to building better fan engagement.

Not all content is equal. Watching less Australian teams play better rugby and win more is better than watching more teams lose all the time. Australia has the Lions and RWC and who know what else is in the pipeline content-wise with the Rugby Championship getting a but of a re-jig over the...

What is short-term about it? Are there plans to bring back the Rebels in the next 2 years?? LOL

The opportunity and potential to increase revenue over the next few years with less players to spend it on is only good news then for players and RA's ability to keep them here...

OMG - I got flashbacks of when McCabe was the Wallaby messiah on these forums....

A lot of conjecture here. The reality is that there simply isn't the quality and depth in player base here to support 5 professional teams. It is not as if every player and coach in Australia could just go overseas and make more money. There are any number of guys who would either make less...

I think it will take at least 2 seasons until the elimination of the Rebels takes proper effect but when you look at who the Tahs have on the books, hopefully the turn around comes sooner. Quality and depth in the player base doesn't just happen because you have Super Rugby squads to fill out - the last...

You want your prop playing 80mins?

It was a shoulder charge...

How bright is the light and is the same as the light that leads to darkness?

Not by a long shot. I've watched U12 rugby games more competitive and entertaining than the 40-point thrashing the Wallabies got a few weeks back....

Cool....all you'd have to do is basically restrict every Australian's ability to leave their house for the year leading up the domestic competition and then watch the interest explode!

Don't know who owns the Rebels IP but the U16 and U18 announcements aren't being done via the Rebel social media like the other franchises. It looks it's done via Rugby Victoria. Whether that means anything, I have no idea lol

It's not a number that really means anything though. It's better to have smaller numbers but be competitive on the biggest stage than to have a heap of numbers and just be average. Although at some stage one would think that there would be some kind of correlation between numbers and rankings...

I don't get this. If the opposition is sending at least one man to clean (often 2) then you aren't a man down in defence.

Brad Fitler's son signs with the Wsratahs... https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/09/25/rugby-hits-back-as-nrl-legends-son-signs-with-tahs-and-hes-already-the-heaviest-back/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFhJbtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUpOStzYPh4mQSWAmizcuZsPTb-OVKMc2QNkp0anblIxgf4dZypSL1ioQg_aem_fQbWHQwziuHxTDLuWdvVGQ

Brumbies Teams announced for Round 1 

It's worse. It's like having a vague idea for a 2 tin cans and a piece of string and then asserting that Apple are definitely going to to buy it and therefore I am rich. The NRL and AFL are the absolute pinnacle competitions of their respective sports. It is the premium product. This club...
