I had a moment of clarity while driving this morning. I was on the fence as to if Aus Rugby can support 5 teams, but then I realised the only reason we can't is if the ARU just choose to take the easy way to out. No doubt dropping to 4 teams will give all of the remaining 4 teams a little boost...

Is anyone strolling past St Leonard's tomorrow? This is something I'm sure we'd all be interested to see.

Both good points. I was thinking more about the Vic Gov offsetting Imperiums ongoing losses. I suppose there are many creative ways to do it.

Just fucking great, free loading off our GST and giving it to the Rebels and we'll get the arse. Paying to get our own team kicked out. But seriously, what can the Vic Goverment actually do? Short of buying the license off Imperium and vesting it in the VRU. Actually, that's probably the only...

I think it's unfair to malign Cheikas coaching style purely as Cheikaball and state it has been worked out. It carried us to 2nd in the most recent World Cup. It works on everyone except the Kiwi's, and you have to ask yourself what would work against them while their players base skill set is...

Someone butchered that meme. "I do not think it means what you think it means"

Anyone who didn't like this game is a bum. Just catching up, the intent still on show at the 65min mark is breathtaking. Hard on the balll, hard into contact. Loving it.

So proud of the way the boys are playing for each other. Wessels is building a squad where the no name replacements are coming in and playing with the belief they belong and can make a difference. Curtis Rona is the find if the season for us.

Is Laumape in discussions for AB duties, or are there just too many good centres ahead of him. Because damn he's a powerhouse. A bit one dimensional but he'd waltz into any other test side.

I only became aware of that from that article also, so I'm not sure of the mechanism. Do they have to sell the IP back if RugbyWA can come up with ~$900,000 the ARU kicked in? Of can the ARU set their own price. Is it something in between. Who fucking knows. But if it was a simple as coming up...

Jaco's not fucking around thankfully. If he keeps the penalties coming the game might open up.

What's going on? No try's yet. Plenty of nerves though. And the ball/ground actually do look greasy, not just the usual excuses as rolled out by the Aus Comms.

They own the Intellectual Property Rights. It's as good as owning the Force. What's a team without an identity. Just a reminder that the ARU never required The Reds, Tahs or Rebels to assign their property rights over to the ARU as part of their most recent (and more expensive) bailouts.

What pisses me off about Ella's article is that the grass roots fans seem to be the only ones who really care. @RugbyReg started a thread on here 13 months ago pointing out the key issue of declining grass roots participation which has lurched along and never fallen off the radar. The MSM has...

And Company Secretary for Own The Force.

And Sam Carter's losing interviews play like the worlds tallest emo finding out the My Chemical Romance album has been delayed for release

Joe Powell and Speight are the two shining lights while Hawaera fails to unlock the potential of TK.

Larkham has ridden the tails of Jake Whites setup for 3 years and the results have steadily worsened as the time grows from when Jake was here.

Brumbies attack is just so pedestrian. Larkham as a coach is a giant myth.

Heavy amount of pessimism surrounding the Reds in this match thread. Sure their season is lurching along like Frankenstein's monster, but they should have the talent to get the job done.
