    Where to for Super Rugby?

    By the Holy Mother of Mary, have you read what I posted, I am not talking about fans and ratings. I am talking about 1] Extra media space 2] Loss by broadcasters of media product. 3] Sponsor's looking to promote their products via sport. A fourth is winning back the above. Rugby along...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    A few but not many aside from International Matches. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT, if FIFA suspends Australia, then the A-League is fucked as players don't play in non FIFA leagues as they get banned from playing in FIFA leagues. THUS THUS THUS, media and sponsorship would disappear overnight and...

    We do think so differently. It would cancel all existing broadcast deals and most sponsorship's would be cancelled as well. Getting that support back would be a huge effort. Plus a few would drift across.

    Interesting development over in the soccer world today that will effect Super Rugby. The effects will be either very good for Super Rugby or bad for Super Rugby. The essence is soccer has been in a very toxic civil war over the last two and a bit years so much so that FIFA stepped in ordered a committee be formed to...

    Therein lies the problem. You cannot grow a game on a dozen test a years with 4 played overseas. The ARU / RA have been way to lazy or inept or both to develop other areas of revenue. It stands out like dogs balls. Basketball, Netball, Soccer today all create most of their revenue from...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Like wow we are almost in 100% agreement on the 2000's. Let me further clarify my position or thoughts from very early on. We lacked professionalism everywhere, especially at local club level say Eastwood, Randwick etc. However we had an exceptional product. Enter now the false Gods who...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Tis an excellent question, and I hope I can explain why. Some context which maybe explain my thought processes, at this point in time in my career, I had been heavily involved in researching business options, many of them where quite large, two of note were on Rupert’s Murdoch’s private staff...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    BH AS discussed we have a very different view on rugby history and future direction. I believe what you see as a great strength, I see as an incredible weakness. I am almost too scared to post this as previously it’s resulted in much angst, bans, and many claims of various nature. NZ...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    That is not me, I have been advocating we get out of Super Rugby from roughly 1998. I always said we need to develop a plan "B" and get out of Super Rugby, its had me banned and considered a serial pest at times. HOWEVER I have always advocated we can't do an effective plan "B" under 4 years if we wish to...

    NZ are operating under a couple of false premises, and the biggest is an RA self-inflicted wound. RA / ARU have been crying wolf for decades about we need help or rugby will die. Essentially this time it’s real the other times was to get more money to cover Australia’s inefficiencies. Second...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    You used failed Rugby teams, who where operating under the leadership of an inept board, in a competition hidden on subscription TV, and the competition controlled by an in-would looking, self serving board relying on SA staying in the league. Why not look at where its worked,in Australia...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    I wonder aloud if any poster on this forum has ever suggested a private ownership model. Kinda silly for Twiggy to follow the most successful sporting model in the world. But will never work in Australia. WE need guarantees it will work before we can try. Also no one will buy into a rugby...

    ^^^^^^ Our systems and structures looked poor before. But now Soccer along with NRL & AFL has their domestic competition run by the clubs within the competition. Our clubs are controlled by overseas clubs. If there was ever a single to change this IMO screams at rugby, get working tonight...

    Tis interesting at times to count your blessing and assume mistakes by others are actually your good management or read into things your own bias, often masking a future threat or lost opportunity. Today News are reporting as are a number of other outlets that the FIFA forced Congress is...
