Dan I have been arguing against Super Rugby from 1999. My reasons have not changed, although the solutions have changed. You have used the chief excuse I have always heard, in that how will we replace the revenue. I think this is the wrong question. There is no question even by Super Rugby supporters than it...

Just to add a tad to your post, and sorry in advance to those sensitive types who don't like working practical examples. First link is someone has ranked the remaining 9 bids that made the cut for the A-League, and the second is the ACT gov saying they will put 1.25 million each year a...

Stew, I was responding to Rugby Reg's post about the 80's. In the 80's the loss of players to league was huge, Ray Price, O'Conner, Matthew Ridge to name but a few. TWAS the driving force behind the establishment of Super Rugby to counter league. Understand where you are coming from, but as i said I...

Rugby Reg I hear and feel what you are saying, however what you want can never happen. Wishing for something to return to a mythical point in time gets in the way of developing ways out of our present situation. Omar is spot on when he said we got a jump start on many nations and they are...

JON in his wisdom said the Wallabies failures are hurting Australian rugby in his Fairfax article. Many others nay most others agree. My guess there is a general consensus agreement with his statement. Castle is also on record highlighting the need for Wallaby success. Rating for the second...

O FFS, i relied on the local paper on his speed and where he was placed in Australia, but if is very fast. You totally miss my point, he is the build he is because he plays soccer, that is a given. He could bulk up thats not impossible. The question still remains, why do we not attract the...

Sigh, you win mate, you may even be correct on their height, and I had no idea they would have to bulk up to play rugby thanks for pointing that out. What about the core issue, that with four teams, mostly hidden away on subscription TV we are not getting the same quality of players we used...

I post this with the hope the hhhhmmmm rrrrrr agggrreerrr more sensitive posters will read for the meaning its suppose to get across and not read anything other than look we are missing heaps of athletic talent by having only four teams. I am using the Central Coast because that were I live...

I mentioned this On the Wallaby thread other codes are getting the better athletes having only four teams is really hurting in player recruitment of a higher standard of player.

Trent Buhagiar, Lockie Wales, Matthew Simon. We have or most will never have heard who these players are. They all hail from the Central Coast, Trent is beyond fast and Wales not that much slower. Issue is they don't play rugby, all are tall all very strong. Simon would make a great break...

Chibimatty Question for your consideration. If Twiggy forms a team in Western Sydney, Assume he follows that with going to the Hunter / Newcastle, this would also bring the Central Coast below I have attached their links. If the ACT union followed with its teams and players, Twiggy would...

If he takes WS don't be surprised if he next moves on the Hunter / Newcastle, they also have been bent over by RA. Then assume the ACT Union throws its support in and ACT teams move across. He will have the seeds of a national competition . Players and local clubs from Newcastle thu WS and...

Unless you have stopped all news outlets today, its hard to miss the news that Steven Lowy is stepping aside from FFA. Media reports are emerging of a united soccer, and an independent and expanding A-League. More pressure to expand within Australia and if we don't we will pay a heavy price...
