You are both right. Such is the competition for sporting talent in Australia and such is the money on offer than if rugby allowed itself to drift to a third tire status say similar to hockey then most talent would head towards, league, AFL, cricket and soccer. The quality of players and more...

Can we learn something from soccer. Today FIFA appointed what they called a working committee to develop better governance and management models at FFA. The committee consists of 8 members, 4 from their state bodies, 2 from the A-League clubs, 1 for the players union, and a chair they must...

Sharing some interesting vids from the US The Growth of rugby in the United States 15 March 2018 Rugby’s growing popularity 31 May 2017

Thanks, must admit I am surprised NZ teams drew more than Australian, especially if you consider Reds V Tahs figures.

Agree and with the A-League just announcing two new teams will be announced in October and Beatie saying two more league teams are very likely. I wonder aloud are we seen as a 4 team competition, yes we have 15 teams but I don't think non rugby Australians associate the other 11 teams as part...

Some breaking news. Huge breaking news Taniela Tupou found some strange white power at the Reds training today. Coach Brad Thorn & Assistant Coach: Tony McGahan, called the Queensland police to investigate. All training was cancelled and the area roped off pending police investigations...

Totally agree. The ads in these time slots are to the existing congregation. Its a marking campaign and should be judged on its effectiveness, how this is measured is open to debate i.e consolidate existing numbers and stop current trends within existing rugby folk, introduce new people to...

I don't think we have the funds for a MSM ad campaign, I think we will rely on social media see my post above.

Social media is far bigger today the traditional media. WE need mostly younger folk to watch, engage with the messaging and send onto others. We don't have the funds to run MSM promotional ads, so it will be social media we are relying on. As I said I am unsure if these are cut throught...

Watched the first two vids part of more and our voice our vision. Will hold my overall judgement for a bit, as I have not watched all the player vids . What struck me watching the ""part of more """ vid was it seemed to be trying to satisfy some government agency about women's involvement in...

I hate the way the AFL get governments to point them major infrastructure, there AFLW is not two years old has only eight teams and they could not even put them together it rates as the number four sport in Queensland behind League, Union & Soccer but the money spent on their grounds is fucking...

Over on the Roar today there is an article about the clash with many wanting the match moved to 6:00 or 6:30. Lots of debate not a bad read even for the Roar... https://www.theroar.com.au/2018/03/23/rugby-australia-make-way-socceroos-super-rugby-bits/

From facebook apparently a couple of days old. Meaning somewhat new but the news has been out there for a bit. Its another example of things have changed since 2000, when it was League, Union, daylight, moonlight, a running track, soccer, AFL. Anywho Logan council has built the Roar a 9...

Just sharing this for whats its worth. Also how much this applies to Australia is debatable, as we have a different say """cultural media news"" . Disclaimers out of the way a few weeks ago I attended [PD requirements] I attended an exciting nay dynamic Accounting 3 day seminar. [I can feel...

Rugby booked there time first I think and two months latter the WC draw came out. I think the AFL draw was also after the Super Rugby draw but I think that don't know that. From what I understand the World Cup draw was on 1 December 2017, about two months after the booking by RA. However we had 7 and...

Brave, Commercial Foolish, or whatever. Aust V Irl in Melbourne The match is in Melbourne and is being played 1 against the Socceroo's WC opening match, 2 against an AFL game a couple of blocks away. Why not move it to an afternoon game, and we have know about the clashes for months. From...

Any sponsor who jumps ship because K Hunt is selected IMO was looking to get out and this gave them an excuse. They would have left anyway.

TOCC My interpretation of what you posted is District Regional teams which is Club Rugby as I understand it say an example most would know Eastwood RUC in the Sydney Shute Shield. That these clubs are a broken model. IMO these clubs create a pathway for the local district park teams for the...

Incredible responce. Please don't take this personally as I believe your post represents many if not a large majority of opinion. However for me this is why;- we are;- were we are. I struggle to think of a single successful league with a team competition, of any code, in any country...
