Hoggy you don't know how right you are, as Al Baxter said on the podcast you simply can't fund and grow a code on 12 annual test matches with normally 4 played overseas. George Harrison when still with the Beatles penned a classic in ""While my guitar gently Weeps""" Today I read a AFR...

I think this belongs in this thread. It clearly demonstrates the pull of national teams and this ad / vid, attempts to tie the national team to the A-league. As he look to the sky opens his arms and says aloud our management [management describes their titles and in no way do I imply they do...

Amazon just purchased the EPL rights for I guess streaming. Interesting

Omar I think you design the best system and then work in the bits. First you need the base of the pyramid and in my point 1 to 4 we built the base of the pyramid that the professional games sits on. To expand the pyramid or more grow the pyramid you need the lower levels to be greater that...

Ormar Almost there, we need to broaden and look at the platform. If we get the structure right, add some decent management, it will work. It’s not rocket science we simply copy what others do. Most is already in place it’s at the professional level we hhhmmm the kind would say err the cruel...

Joe King The MLS system is just that a model and IMO a good one for us to follow. It allows investors to come in, buy and create teams, and effectively we get the investors capital and business sense. That is stage 1, i.e creating an unbiased domestic competition. Stage 2, this is the...

Very very interesting read. AFL ratings down 14% season to date. NRL holding firm https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-on-course-for-tv-ratings-victory-over-afl-20180527-p4zhsd.html?__twitter_impression=true From the article.

Let me start, by saying I have huge RESPECT for Twiggy. However for those on this thread thinking he is the answer to Australian rugby issues are expecting something from a structure that is less suitable than Super Rugby is today. We need a national domestic competition, we don't need another...

Being a Central Coast local these days and having an increasing interest in the Mariners. This news titbit is relatively small in the grand scheme of things. However it goes to the core in many ways of many of our problems. Taken from a club release and the kids home side web page. I will...

Al Baxter saying it all. Hope some people are listening.

for sure, for sure

Dru I am not a gifted wordsmith, and I hope this comes out the way I intend it, sorry in advance if you read this in any other way than as carney in the coalmine. The carney in the coalmine is there to warn of a gas leak and danger. FFA today released the 15 bidders for the two A-League...

Omar, Once upon a time the Socceroos accounted for over 90% of FFA revenue. Today the A-League contributes about 75% of FFA revenue. Thats what the big shit fight is over today, the clubs want more money as they say they earn it. What makes it complex is the Asian Football Confederation has...

BH & Wam Thanks for your replies, and deep down in my soul I think your thoughts are the thoughts and beliefs of those running rugby. We will never agree, we are light years apart in our thinking. I hope you are right. Because if you are wrong we may never be able to recover opportunities...

BH Three years ago, I was almost a sole voice on this site calling for an end to Super Rugby as we have it. Today most even if they want Super Rugby, want change. Equally I am almost the opposite of the site when I say, I would prefer a well working national competition to a successful Wallaby side. For me...

Barbarian Further to my constant banging on about using private capital to establish a new competition. Today is the day all bidders must submit their bids to join the A-League, 12 have and it could be more. I mention this to highlight there are people willing to invest in sporting...

Barbarian & Joe Bar when we last exchanged posts, I suggested that the US model was good for rugby in Australia and in particular the MLS model. The following link is a long and detailed analysis of how the MLS works. For your next podcast it would be interesting especially Alan Jones of...

I like you idea, it has merit when you talk of the quality of players needed to create a watchable broadcast competition. I think WA needs a side. I ask you to consider adding hhhmmmm nay changing your model hhhmmm nay a diifferent approach. Consider your model 12 or 14 teams spread across...
