Before they awarded Packer the licence for his casino, the NSW government should have made it a condition that his complex included a football stadium.

That would be a case of "failing upwards" if it happened. :eek: What the Tahs require is their version of Jim Carmichael.

^The Tahs are already copying the Reds. Haven't you seen this? ;) The Tahs marketing must desperate to "borrow" the slogan from the Reds. So I doubt the current Tahs admin would be able to copy the Reds model even if it was laid out for them.

Follow up after the ARU board meeting. Strong words from the Rebels CEO. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/aru-plan-to-pool-super-rugby-funds-a-joke-says-melbourne-rebels-boss-20140226-33ifq.html?rand=1393404657461

Big call from The Guardian in the UK => Tahs to play the Sharks in the final with the Tahs winning. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2014/feb/26/crusaders-coaching-feud-fuels-waratahs-title-bid

The EOI document said the target date to announce the participating teams is 28 February. However, I have also been told that the date has been pushed back to March.

Iain Payten tweeted a clarification that the Tahs will continue to release crowd figures, but not on game day due to different data sources that need to be collated.

OK then. I didn't hear the crowd figure at the game, so when the Fox Sports website match report mentioned the Tahs wouldn't be releasing crowd numbers anymore, I thought I found the reason...

A reasonable start to the season for the Tahs, plenty of things to work on at training this week though. Apparently, the bright sparks at Tahs HQ have decided not to release home crowds this year so we won't know how many people turned up. Seriously? Not publishing them just makes Tahs HQ...

Super Rugby Extra Time is scheduled to air on ONE at 10:30pm on Tuesday 25. It will be replayed at 3pm on 26 Feb. So that's probably how it will broadcast on FTA during the season. It's a good highlights package of the round with an emphasis on games involving the Aus teams.

Great idea!!! Here's hoping the ARU trolls are reading this thread.

It's OK. If I was in front of a TV while surfing the net, for example, it wouldn't compel me to divert me to pay attention. Was it done in-house? It feels like a conservative, safe option as an ad. Doesn't elicit an emotion response or a desire for action. As an aside, judging by the number...

It would be a good idea to to emulate the NZRU model with the same major and sleeve sponsor. It would certainly be attractive to see their brand on screen for 80 minutes in a number of games over a weekend. Probably also get a better deal if they use the same kit supplier like Kiwis do with...

I don't think it was promoted and I came across it by accident when channel surfing one night.

I think Foxtel has reached its saturation/penetration point into Australian households. Anyone who wants it, has probably got it. Its business model relying on exclusivity of programming is getting superseded with the growth of online streaming, eg they acquired exclusive rights to season 4 of...

Have you considered calling the Tahs membership team and asking if they can change your membership to the 2 game option? They may not refund you the price difference, but getting the tickets to the 2 games is better than nothing.

Hope the Sydney U/Balmain vs Rams game is on a Sunday afternoon. Eastwood, Parramatta and West Harbour have licence clubs as sponsors so the western Sydney team could be well funded if this support is translated into the Rams as well. It does seem strange and it feels like the team has...

The ticketed one came with a keyring and sticker (+ cap!). Perhaps it was all the "other crap" that cost more. ;)

Bruce, I love the idea to engage the kids by involving them in coming up with alternative names and jersey designs. Hopefully, it gives them some "ownership" of the team when it runs out on Leichhardt Oval on a Sunday afternoon.
