Both good and bad news. News reporting today Tahs will play 3 games at the new Parramatta stadium, the day after the Parramatta RL and I believe Wanders both rejected playing their @ $ 210, 000 per match. Good news is finally playing in Western Sydney. If they are paying over $ 210, 000...

smh reporting Fiji hopes of joining Super Rugby are fading. Interesting article in many ways. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/fiji-s-super-rugby-hopes-fade-as-sanzaar-push-world-league-20181015-p509o1.html

AS I see it the competition needs Australia wide support and acceptance, I don't see that happening, principally because IMO its been rushed and not planned. It could have which is the ultimate sad part. The broader question is why does it need Australia wide support and that may not be true...

I can't help but feel its all being rushed. I don't see, a mass conversion or the like taking place, and wonder aloud where outside Perth is the TV market. Even in Perth the new competition will as it stands now be viewed as being not at the highest level. Seems to me the cart has been...

Interesting from media watch today... Whats interesting to me with rugby the article says they have rugby as a sport, is this a way to get some new folk. I have left most of the article out as it talks about the Chinese Super League. These people seem impressive...

A study shows head injuries do differ between genders in how common they are and the severity. https://www.neurologyadvisor.com/traumatic-brain-injury/gender-differences-in-concussion-diagnosis-and-treatment/article/636005/

Credit were credit is due and its at least a start and money is tight as. Saying that much more needs to be done. Me personally I would make my next move at local park team level, try and get parents to fire up and get rugby introduced at state schools. We are well represented at non...

I watch and read a lot about sport and pride myself in picking up trends before most. The US social media especially from teh NFL are watching rugby. In the US now there is a mega amount of social media on rugby, and I mean mega mega mega amounts and all positive, they still don't know the...

Its difficult a stop to players going to Europe, and me thinks the more it becomes normalised for players to leave, it could turn to being the preferred option.

^^^^^ Canberra's smart if for no other reason there is no AFL or A-League, to fight for crowds.

You'er Kidding that's RA's Strategic Competition Plan.

The original post was in the TV & Crowd thread, I have replied in the Super Rugby thread as I don't want to recreate the same arguments in a different thread. Gnostic you are clearly right in fact I would go far as to say a very large % of our hard core base have gone across to AFL, as the thought of...

BH,s answer was correct what if Fox stopped paying or paid much less. To explain, why do people buy Fox, say rugby folk or AFL folk. The primary driver to buy is because of their sport. Given you can watch anything else on Fox as you suggested you do. But would you pay for it. Your example...

Stew, I agree with what you have said. My concern is we have hit a plateau at best, I would argue Super Rugby rating are down, and thats what seems to trigger the 4 team dilemma faced by the ARU. When we cannot increase our ratings to something that is worth fighting for i do wonder how we will...

I find the scary part not the rating of say 350K with a combined FTA metro and Fox. As others have illustrated we where up against the AFL & NRL in their finals, next week the same and as Stew posted in addition to the AFL & NRL finals SBS have a Liverpool match at 9:00. What is the scary part...

Hallelujah, praise the lord and pass the plate, the converting thing is happening. Scene, Star Wars movie, with half talking to the evil Emperor on the star ship. Emperor === Half are you converting anyone to running a local domestic competition owned and run by private companies. Half...

Strew, I guess the combined FTA metro under 350K. That's scary.

From the US a youtuber is putting up a number of rugby highlights and is getting massive reactions. some examples, heaps more than what I have added Sonny Bill Sami Rardara Greg Inglis Losua Touisova
