That’s also one thing that hurts with being in Super Rugby so many Kiwis and South Africans support their old team as they were also in the comp

I thought they were Seaford before Southern?

They should have launched a pro comp when the game went pro. Granted a certain amount of licenses to clubs that could hit certain financial parameters. Then set up the RA controlled licenses in expansion markets. We should have aimed for 10-12 sides There are examples in the UK of sides...

Super Rugby was good and bad. It was good as it delivered a huge TV contract initially. But it was bad due to the fact it limited the game here. It was more about the ROI for Fox than growing the game. I don’t have strong memories of it as a kid as Melbourne didn’t have a team, the FTA games...

Look the club comps are great comps and I loved Stan broadcasting them in covid when I was stuck in lock down in Vic. But it’s hard to expect prem grade clubs to match it with professional organisations in the NRL

How do you have the Queensland Reds and a second Queensland team unless you rename them the Brisbane Reds as the A League did with the Roar? We need more professional rugby in NSW and Queensland.

Scrap the Reds and Tahs. I get the history but look at the BBL. Got rid of the state teams as they saw the need for more than one team in Vic and NSW. You will never effectively be able to have a second team in either state when they are the Qld Reds and NSW Waratahs. With only one side in...

lol you are the only one making it about the Force. If you want to talk force surely you have your own thread

Feel for him, was really looking forward to seeing him in round two.

Exactly it’s good and bad as the game has potential there but it’s sad it has got to this point

Yeah it is called footy but that’s no different to people calling league the footy.

But that is the same as everywhere in Aus. There is support for the game just not the Australian game. I know young lads with no connection to Europe who follow the 6 nations but will not watch the Wallabies let alone rebels

Aussie Rules. The sport is Australian Rules Football the league is the Australian Football League. If you played club rugby you would tell people “I play Super Rugby”

100% it is the fault of the failure of RA since the game turned professional. They have run the game into the ground. The issue of underfunding, why are all sides underfunded? Because of RA and their failures. RA didn’t set out to destroy the Rebels but they are the ones who have destroyed the...

Said this for years, I think the Rebels should see if the MCC are open to doing a deal with them. They always tell their members (roughly 105k) and waiting list candidates (roughly 250k) what they have on, the sports they support. What events they have open to you. They even offer waiting list...

He could be honest and not take the public for fools. He has been saying repeatedly that he wants to connect with the community. He could just say that they are wanting to meet with the people running the pathways and work out the best way forward. Instead of making false claim
