Nos Slight correction to your statement the MLS is booming & has quality [not the best but decent], its taken over hockey to move to fourth in the US codes, and many are predicating MLS will take over Baseball within 7 to 10 years some suggest 5 years. The MLS regular season has just finished...

100% correct, I would also add if you go back say 5 years, rugby would have had more people willing to invest than the A-L. The quality, the management, the TV ratings, the crowds are all meaningless comparisons. The truth of the matter is the system and structures we have make it near...

^^^^^^^^^ For the doubters out there. The only other sport in Australia that operates like rugby of any note is cricket. Both see international test matches as the high point, rugby has Super Rugby, cricket has a state based Shield teams. All other codes have developed and built upon being a national...

Mate, for the love of the holy mother Mary. Please read this slowly, and read the message, if you see the term A-League and then you say Australian Rugby is better than the A-League, then you have miss read the message. Not only miss read but in miss reading the message you openly attack the...

++++++++++++++9999999 However how ??????? is it growing and expanding, and MLR is doing both. Hint, this is a secret, so kept away from the RA board, but they have this system of running a private competition run by the clubs who are in turn owned by private people. its the same system in all...

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/the-wallabies-and-the-rugby-league-myth-20231020-p5edqr.html This article demonstrates IMO part of our current issues, in that it talks about the best competition, nothing to learn etc. For the love of Mary we should look to learn. The US franchise...

Mate, thanks for posting the vid. It demonstrates perfectly what I have been saying. Its hard brutal and all about how good and hard rugby is. This would appeal to me, but maybe not my 18 year old nephew. Compare to the Atlanta vid, which had almost nothing on the game, was all about joining...

I agree, and two important aspects of Gen Z and many M's. First, they have a mega amount of choice and by light years the most popular is E-Games, and related games like Robo-games [were people design robots to battle each other, so traditional advertising mostly does not reach them as they...

Up until a couple of years ago I had never heard of it. Not something that springs to mind that get lots of media. But 850 schools across three states and the ACT is impressive. BTW no idea if this is true, as its what my high school teacher client told me, so take it with a grain of salt. But...

A school teacher client of mine told me what he understands to be the biggest school competition in Australia, was started in Newcastle like way way way back. Its grown from a few schools around Newcastle to over 850 schools. Its called the "Bill Turner Cup [boys] and Trophy [girls]", if you...

Mate told me so source is unreliable, however he says Ange is getting more views in Australia than the RWC. The way the media in Australia are paying attention to him would indicate that may be correct.

Wonders aloud, what the plans are to reverse the doom thats is overhanging rugby today. I suppose centralised control sits within a broader framework, but looks like hhhhmmm what a circuit breaker, for what, and who will deliver the what. Getting trend lines to reverser is a complex task...

Maybe unpopular idea, certainly has been in the past. Further I have reservations if it would work today, and the longer left the harder to do. The idea is to create a competition run by investors who own the teams, and the competition, means selling existing teams to investors or existing...

or nobody else care about.. Rugby, Football, Basketball the three biggest sports, all struggle against AFL, RL & Netball

Thanks for watching, its interesting in the vids they talk about culture over coffee, and they show hardly any part of matches, I doubt this would appeal to say people in there 60's, for most of this demographic its the speed, the tries the hard hits etc. This vid was made 7 or 8 years ago, can...

Don't worry mate, these are same posters who argued a NDC was a bad idea and that SA would not leave the Tri Nations. I doubt they watched any of the vids because as I posted its near if not totally impossible for AR to copy what the MLS in these vids did and within 2 min 30 sec of the first...

In the spirit of I will just leave this here from before and in the broader sense of gamesmanship being displayed, i will leave this. In the youtube search bar type, Alestrom - Anchor BTW Alestrom is a group and Anchor is only part of the song title, but it should open up the song. Enjoy

Because people keep arguing with a simple logic, Australian rugby is old and in general not connecting with the young. One of the few codes to connect is the MLS in the US. I made the mistake of putting up some of their vids, and stating they are different . I see the non connecting with youth...

hhhhmmmmm hhhhmmmm RR as you were saying.

Well you must have read different posts to me, I struggle to think of many who expressed support until quite recently maybe some about 5 years ago. My comment in that if we ask the wrong question we can the wrong solution, and from there the decline accelerates. My belief is today our biggest...
