Interesting press release by QRU on the centralisation RA is wanting. https://reds.rugby/news/queensland-rugby-union-centralisation-position-20231010?fbclid=PAAaZiTu-mrA1i_nZTsamMZevK_KPVDExTzUCuU7Li6aCEs3tWrVv3HwvX7HU_aem_AVvAgehM-xaVobVTHuOyobCQ_4yWlFJ9TIO-5rhFRyGTAHDQwDRW8kLsRpucJSt69ZY...

Sure, these are all valid points. But take a step back as an outsider not from Sydney. One of the first ideas he talks about is an Old Boys Day in Sydney. How does that help ease any concerns people outside of the Sydney private school bubble have that the newly appointed CEO from a banking...

Nah, the 40-6 loss was humiliating enough, we don't need any more. Had we kept that to a losing bonus point we'd have made it through.

The fact one of the first things he's suggested is focus on an old boys day makes me think there's very little of substance behind his vision. More over, there has been very little noise coming out of the RA leadership team from the mess they've made here other than the usual post world cup...

There's a time and place for international competitions, but, it shouldn't come at the expense of the local games. You can easily play a "Club world cup" like they do every year in football. The Australian Club, New Zealand, Japanese, England, Ireland etc all play annually. This mirrors what...

One of the biggest complaints we had with South Africa being in Super Rugby is, games would be in the dead of night when no-one can watch them. How does Australian teams playing European teams help strengthen the Australian broadcast deal when it'll mean even less games can be watched in the...

RA should just release the KPMG report.

This is a bit awkward when Quade still wasn't an Aussie citizen until last year.......

The argument isnt about whether having Union back with Fox/Kayo gets you more eyeballs (it most likely does), it's whether Rugby in Australia is better off on Fox or Stan. We have decades worth of evidence to show us how Fox ran Union when theyg had it and now we have a couple years of coverage...

If I was Hamish, I'd be getting Nicola to help us bring the Women's game up to scratch and then Twiggy to do the blokes.

No, the attitude is towards a competition that begins at essentially, the start of March and is effectively over by mid to late June. The other codes run from the start of March and end today, the beginning of October. i.e. close to double the amount of local games There's absolutely no reason...

Hah, Doran is taking the absolute piss. Fox demonstrated year on year that they had absolutely no clue how to make the competition appealing the the masses. Look back on the last decade we had with fox and objectibely, tell me how the coverage changed for the better? It was the same...

Because the rest of the backs are on dimensional and never spent the time learning to kick after running a couple of unders lines then calling it a day.

That's on the pub then, the entire process is documented clearly on their website and its "only" $300 per month for most pubs I'd imagine

The storm paid for his school fees so he was only ever going to League.

It shows the pros don't know what it's like not to be a superstar. They want to go to three teams because it'll only allow the best of the best competing for spots. Anyone who doesn't make it can go back to clubland which they reckon in turn makes club rugby stronger. But they forget these...

I swear you can see the generational divide in posters who want us back on foxtel as "no-one has Stan". Foxtel is one of the reasons union is in the state it's currently in. Sub par watching experiences full of hosts that didn't give a crap about the product they were serving up to us. Hard...

I mean, we're a country that downs tools for 3-5 days to watch someone hit a red ball with a piece of wood.

Let's go, Broncos! Guess I can drop my Stan subscription back now, buy something that'll atleast provide some entertainment value even if its for 40 minutes.
