BH My original post was about how rugby officials, management paid little attention to what other sports were doing. This was after listing many things other sports purpose to do. Further if we don't react we will end up in some deep poo. I also highlighted that other sports react, and as an...

BH Deep down in my soul I am not angry anymore at Rugby management, I have passed anger, pity and sadness is closer to how I feel. Pity for those many folk who hold the faith and somehow believe existing systems and structures can solve whats in front of us. Sad because I have seen so much...

If we assume the following: · The NRL has expansion plans and the three areas under most consideration are Perth, second Brisbane, third Wellington, to this increasing activity in Oceania national / test matches. · Basketball, growing its base and teams. · Netball...

Bingo, nail head. Meaning the systems and structures developed by the various governing bodies in Australia & NZ and state unions in Australia is @#@!@#$%%#. The faith I have in the ability of the various management structures who have got us in this position is limited. Further meaning we...

Thats great, someone else who understands how it works. I also noticed today on the Roar, Geoff Parks is saying the Nobody Really Cares, competition looks like folding. If this does occur it's something else I said would happen even before it was announced and have done so every year of its...

Thanks for the compliment. Maybe I am slowly turning you from the dark side. More seriously tho, although rare as you suggest its very significance. Why you ask, because if the MLS model is acceptable, then it it is the polar opposite of what we have today. Moreover it means a national...

Dan, if had read my posts over the years I have always said we need to transition to a new structure, and it would take a minimum of four years.`Further we needed to gather all stakeholders together and be very inclusive. To this end, and this is repeating what I have often posted but for the...

^^^^ Dan Honestly I don't know where to start. You seem to want and iron clad guarantee from the almighty himself that changes made will work. Change involves risk but no changing is by mega light years more risky. Rugby has F.....D in a big way, whether we die now or in 15 years is not...

Kinda sums it up, we lack the balls to change, but even more importantly most don't see the problem. Until we as a group not only acknowledge we are in deep deep poor and demand change we will simply get worst. WE need to totally change our structures is it that simple and we need to do it...

As time is moving forward, where i was once quite conflicted in that the rights of a community who have been / are marginalised and on the other hand the right to express an opinion. I have harden my opinion and come to my conclusion, detailed down a bit. The other issue I have had is, even if...

Colin Kaepernick knelt during the signing of the National Anthem his contract was not renewed as he offended lets call them the right. Kaepernick crime was to protest against police when dealing with black people. Israel Folau, stated his christian beliefs and has been sacked, lets call it...

Spoken by a typical bone headed prop or something, when we all know its the half directing the brainless and telling the brainless what to do is the true brainstrust and centre of the team. :) :):rolleyes::D:p

I never once even hinted there should be no consequences, what I posted and questioned was is the taking away his ability to earn income the right response. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when you posted "How are we closing down issues" you can't be serious. Like talk about X and you get...

I think you miss understand where I am coming from and this post is complex to the extent it draws on areas outside rugby to illustrate my point, Hang with me Let me start by giving four names, three from sport and one non sport. Colin Kaepernick, Julian Assange, Mohamed Salah or Mo Salah...

Ignoto ^^^^^^ I opened my post by saying I was conflicted in this debate as their are two sides . Bear in my I am in no way religious. You and I dare say most people have come down on the side he has to be let go, he has not broken any law but he is out of step with community feeling and...

I am conflicted by this debate. My reading of the tea leaf’s and tarot cards, is there is no simple solution, when you try and compare two rights. Subjective judgement, your personal bias effected by your internal value system will dictate were you finally arrive. I am a huge supporter of...

This posts saddens me to write as I think for the first time I have lost faith that we can recover to anywhere near say 2000 levels. My instinct,maybe not instinct more my nature is to read widely, research, analysis and from this develop plans. Any analysis of the past 20 or so years...

Sarcasm is not your strong suite. I understand you don’t believe it, and maybe even think there is an agenda. If you don’t think the A-League was a sports market disrupter, then so be it. Most evidence and commentary of the time suggest otherwise. Yep other forms of cricket were in play no...
