On bended knees, arms open and looking to the heavens. Don't rush the third tier, the two previous attempts by Pulver & Flower went from idea to playing in about six months. I would prefer nay beg, that they take 3 to 4 years to get it right.

What do we think the future will bring. 1] New thinking with new systems and structures, with a workable plan to leave Super Rugby. 2] New thinking, with changes made to existing management systems, working within existing systems and structures, staying in Super Rugby. 3] Minor changes to management...

I fully understand how perfect our admins are and how superior to all others in Australia. However, even allowing for our superiority, I will don my helmet and in this case hire a suit of armour. I often commented that the Nobody Really Cares two attempts were totally rushed and in the haste...

Streaming article well sorta of talks about traditional TV as well, for the NBA in the US. https://sports.yahoo.com/adam-silver-interview-the-nba-looks-to-the-future-203821542.html

I don't want to stoke the fire, or get this out of context. But, international success over time, not simply a one off, but constant success seems not only to bring crowds and TV ratings it appears it brings funding as well. I kinda, sorta, open this up for discussion, analysis if you wish...

Just wondering, cough, cough, cough, on giving Eddie the heave ho, do we have the money, he is on reasonable money and you also need to fund the replacement. Gotta cost with firing and rehiring say my guess 2 million to buy Eddie out, and then hire a new coach say 600K or more.

Today started on page 808 I think so we have posted 1o pages today, impressive, if RA could only act with such speed and skill.

ever get the feeling we are. Bashing head against a wall

Very astute post. Risk is a funny thing, do nothing but maintain the existing status que with minor twigs, means a slow and painful death but not blow torch to the belly pain. Do something radical with a much higher risk could mean a rapid decline and blow torch to the belly pain levels. It...

Mate how many F........ing times can I say I don't think it will happen but there is a small chance, very small, I have also posted a lot recently I believe Australian Rugby no longer has the ability to create a National Domestic Competition, and we need Super Rugby revenue to develop something new and...

Its a screaming obvious question, they want Exclusive Quality Premiere I doubt we will get it and its all hypothetical anyway, But that someone will approach and make an offer, its a cert.

OK, this was said in relation to two factors, what can we do today, and the changes in the US taking place in sports broadcasting, in particularly Apple TV. The funding would be if it can be pulled off by convincing an Apple to fund Australia developing a mega rugby competition. My...

Back in the late 90's early 0000"s everyone believed I was wrong. I do take you very valid point about """How do we solve the Problems we have Today""" Over the last 3 months or so I have said a few times I no longer know how to solve as we have slide a tad to far. Further I have said that...

Call out to anyone who read the yahoo article on Formula 1 above an what they tho of the article.

Take the brave step set up a local competition, say 8 teams to start, played over 28 weeks yes 4 rounds, and stuff international breaks if they interfere with the competition. Say 17 million dollar salary cap and buy all blacks and NZers to play. To spilt NZ allow two of there teams only in the...

Agree and like I did some time ago, for me its better to time out and see what happens, I kinda timed out at the appointment of the current heads as they seemed to be making the right noises. Came back sometimes and more recently got vocal again. Its just I have been arguing Australian Rugby...

Roughly 6 to 14 weeks ago.

No they are not if a poorly run competition keeps getting funded, then the question is why do they keep getting funded. Just maybe its the system that freely allows investment works. Dru I posted a while back that in-spite of years nay decades of arguing for a NDC, I feel where we stand...

Nos and others you may find this interesting, its from yahoo finance in the US. Its actually good news for Australian Rugby if you read it with an open mind...

^^^^^^ Nos As a matter of debate, have you considered that arguing the quality of the league in question is secondary to arguing about the system and structure. Mention, A-L among other codes, first single out A-l and then say its crap / shit, so debates ends. As if following the worlds most...
