Offsiders is an unofficial AFL sports show, with some cricket, a little league and some netball.

More a comment as opposed to anything new or possible solution. The old saying a house divided against itself, springs to mind. If ever a code needed unity with agreed and realistic pathways forward it's rugby today. The Rebels n RA, seemingly at each other's throats is systematic of where we...

thanks so who is funding their legal action

I am confused, If as they have already advised the ATO has cannot wavier the outstanding directors penalties and other unpaid taxes, and if RA refuse to reissue the licence for the MR's to play in Super Rugby. What chance is there of any scheme put forward actually getting through. Interesting...

I have felt the same over the last hhhmmm say 18 months where we need Super Rugby to stay afloat, buy equally we need a plan to get away from Super Rugby or moreover to establish a competition which may lead to a shorten version of Super Rugby at the end.

DP Huge respect for your reply, says a lot about you so again respect and thanks.

Open question [ a tad down], genuinely seeking various opinions. Have been reading some reports recently and it’s been in the media over the weekend about social media and the effect on younger generations. No doubt E-Games is now and into the near future. Other reports I have read about...

True, but there are in some sports, with mega numbers in pick up games that never join a club or addend a code day, Basketball is arguably the biggest in this area and maybe Cricket with many Indians not joining teams but still playing, and the number of people doing laps in swimming is huge [I...

Maybe.... but some sports under count those involved and others don't have to worry as their numbers are so high. Athletics has huge numbers but broken down into a number of sub groups, running, jumping etc, Tennis has numbers playing casually but not in teams, Basketball has the second highest...

I typed in google "how many registered rugby union players in Australia". Got two links that may help. the first link I typed below This was the response and seems close, to both your numbers add the 85K to the 60K school, less the overlap with people in both so say around 100K. Add the 7's...

^^^^^ Further to the News article on 10 above. Wonders aloud Murdoch has wanted 10 for decades and tried to buy in when it was in receivership but Paramount piped him at the post at the last minute... News, reporting 10 is going under, hhhhmmmm.... Fox and News have always wanted a FTA. Just...

Further to the Paramount article. News, has an article indicating 10's days are numbered, is well worth a read its very very very very long, and quite detailed...

Not sure what all this means. Parts only copied from an article in the Age, linked at the end. Not sure if its a victory or just a short term stop before wind up. """""""Directors for the Melbourne Rebels have secured a major victory against Rugby Australia after creditors voted to support a...

Watch and be surprised.

error wrong thread sorry

Especially with the AFL talking about 20 teams, the NRL talking about 18 to 20 teams, and the A-L talking about 14 to 16 teams.

That makes sense.....

Are the investors referred to, the same as the investors who are building a 15k stadium in west Melbourne.

He's suggesting that baseball losing it's place as "America's pastime" probably doesn't have a lot of lessons to provide us here in Australia relating to rugby. I assume you read the article, as IMO many of the issues facing Australian Rugby, also effect US Baseball, and US Baseball is coming...

I suppose your right, Rugby has nothing to fear, all these surveys are meaningly, kids today will flock to watch Rugby. I get your point, Rugby is special, and all these things effecting other sports who then make plans around the changing world environment, will not effect Australian Rugby...
