Thats a smart nay very smart idea. On another front as competition intensities FFA announced today, all A-League matches, selected FFA Cup matches, Socceroo, and Matilda will be streamed live by Telstra from July I think. No idea what sort of money was involved.

^^^^^ staff Both you and WCR could be right and I fully understand where your coming from. My concern is and I understand this is boring but we need to create structures that encourage investment in rugby. We need capital injections because in simple terms to re-structure from where we are...

BH I think you miss understood part of what I asked. The USA competition structures have a governing body controlled and owned by the clubs. Both the professional competition owned by normally a company with a share structure, is independent from the governing body. Teams competing in the...

Nit picking as it is often used in a business in a similar way to a SWOT analysis which was developed by a Scottish hospital I think to help build up peoples self awareness. Group Think is another, and group think and confirmation bias is often used when discussing IBM's failure to see the...

10000000000000000% agree. Has been so for hhhhmmmm eeerrrrr 20 years. Genuine question not to you BH, but in general why have we not created an independent competition with private capital and expertise to run. The USA competition structures are near perfect for rugby in Australia.

Love the idea, and love the passion. But it starts off at way to high a level IMO. WE are in deep deep trouble, SANZAAR is totally out of its depth as they want to be in charge. Key stakeholders mostly see themselves as the centre of the universe and very often fail to see logic that shows a...

Enjoyed those and Alan Jones seemed very excited to be involved, wonder if you had an effect on his recent articles.

Just to keep those smart up to date Super Rugby admins on their toes. Soccer launched the E-League to amazing success. The AFL have reacted. Will we. Now AFL does not have an E-Game so how did they do it. Interesting from the Fin Review...

Agree Also as I have posted before [many times] is that with time zones, money, soft political capital to Europe, soft power growth in Europe, it always been a matter of time. Lets be fair, put yourself in their shoes, we are a basket case holding on by our finger nails, NZ have a small...

My limited understanding, mainly from media reports is SA provide the bulk of the revenue. I have been saying this will happen for about 8 years now maybe more, its logical the money and influence in a political sense is in Europe.

Great read but long. http://variety.com/2018/digital/features/olympics-rights-streaming-nbc-winter-games-1202680323/

Last night we had the A-League GF, AFL, NRL, Super Rugby, Super Cars and Super Netball all crammed into Saturday night. We are in a very competitive market place.

From rusted on hard core fans to long time coaches the hits just keep coming. Will anything change. From the ABC. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-05/andy-friend-tees-off-on-australian-super-rugby/9730956?section=sport

From the Roar, whole article on how to stream their matches. https://www.theroar.com.au/2018/05/04/live-stream-western-force-matches-world-series-rugby/ This is The Roar’s full World Series Rugby live stream guide so you don’t miss a match.

It can also spread rapidly. Those who so held on to the view that its all OK, stop complaining IMO don't hhhmmmm will most don't have the resourcefulness [I think the right word], to be part of a process to bring about change. Many still cling to the hope it will turn around. Or something...

Like beyond wow. From SMH. Australian rugby is on the brink of “sinking without a trace” and New Zealand Rugby should seriously consider pushing for another reduction in teams across the ditch, or entertain the possibility of playing its own competition. That is the view of one New Zealand...

Another article on the same thing. Super Rugby bombshell: SANZAAR has US in their sights with leaked document revealing inclusion of a new conference SANZAAR are looking to boost the Super Rugby competition in the future by adding another conference of US teams. Seta Tamanivalu had a...

SANZAAR, well if ever a body believed its own BS then it is them. Back page news in Sydney's Terrorgraph says SANZAAR, plan to expand the competition and want to create a team in the US. For the love of the holy mother Mary, words fail me, at even thinking along these lines should sent you...

Yep, or the best ...Between AFL & NRL we lost 12 kids 8 or 9 to AFL and the balance to league, and league lost 2 players to AFL. Remember at the time GWS was costing the AFL between 20 & 25 million a year in losses ... in those days...

Please don't get me started on Blacktown, I ran my practice their from 2000 to 2012, and had a handful of clients who's kids went to Seven Hills High [Sports School for those that don't know]. Anywho the AFL came marching in, and I remember one particular U 15 rep side as one of my clients...
