    Australian Rugby / RA

    At the risk of using another sport and being belted for it. We have missed many warning of things are changing. I have mentioned this before, but IMO there is a message in this, how to react, and what to do, I have no idea. But ignore at our own peril.

    Wam I posted in relation to a post you made saying we can't blame the current Admin for the sins of past Admins... to which I replied.. You then replied with they cannot control that for which they have no control, I'll be honest with you, your lack of faith in the game scares me. If this...

    Interesting radio interview with the owner of the Wellington Phoenix. Recent rumours have the club being sold. BUT BUT the interview also looks closely at the governance changes needed and the A-League becoming independent from the governing body. Interesting from a Super Rugby viewpoint about the...

    HHHHmmmmmm but but but but. If you understand this as a management then you need to take special care to adopt "best practice" management. Not to apply best practice in circumstances like we have boarders on negligence, but to allow a process to develop or not correct past poor practices is...

    Observations made over the past month or so. Our crowds have not improved and me thinks we have resorted to maybe telling fibs about crowds. The Tahs match on Friday night the link to the highlights clearly shows both the North & South ends almost empty, and the upper decks on the side lines...

    We are quite clam. One of my favourite vids its a soccer international between Greece & Russia in Greece. Greece score and shall we say the crowd gets a little excited. The first 30 seconds is all you need to watch but its just unbelievably funny and the look on the Russian keeper towards...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    The current RA board have been in crisis management for maybe 18 months now. Their previous ineptitude in running the competition, lead this the crisis. It beggars belief, they are still there, still with no plan “B”, still talking up their importance. The difficulty is as many see it, to...

    BH I don’t believe Super Rugby will grow and expand rugby over the coming decades. I doubt it will survive another 15 years. My reasons, hidden on a broadcast subscription platform that in and of itself will also struggle to survive into the future with worldwide patterns of falling subscriptions and...
