    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Very poor crowd in Canberra with weather etc but also crowd down for the NZ match up in the pouring rain. Solution is to have NZ become a part of Australia again and then drop a few teams. P.s. and how many were at the AFL. In one game the season crowd for the Waratahs.

    ISA 2017

    Refereeing is a difficult task. Even high paid ones at Test level make mistakes even with more officials and high tech assistance available so a bloke on a ground in any area by himself could be mistaken. We have at times all experienced what seemed one sided officiating. The standard of boys...

    I am making a set of assumptions --- 1.not in Vic so do they have posters, ads in papers etc. 2.who runs the merchandise contracts? 3. any business related agreements to running the club. 4. etc that I may miss If your correct about the players losing out / paid out I suspect that many will...

    All this is confusing my poor brain. Contracts have conditions if a party breaches a contract ( in a way not set out in the contract) then one party can sue the other. Players staff are on contracts what will happen to them? The Rebels etc will have entered contracts with suppliers...

    ARU Withdraw Funding of Schoolboys Tours

    Boys don't you seem to understand that this is not removing support. Rather it is a reallocation of vital funding to the provision of fine red wine for meets of the ARU.

    Did Villa not have a mid week match with their Sydney brothers St Augustine's. Could this not have impacted on their performance?

    Possibly the scope and nature of the problems is beyond the present administration or its replacement. At the moment it is where do you start and how long will this take to resolve a process that moves the game at grassroots ( hit by Round Up), school boys losing numbers and schools that play (...

    What may be missing is what Cricket found in the 1970's a Packer to shake up the place and cause that revolution. It will not come from within the system as it would be an act of suicide for those in the system to change it substantially.

    Worth looking at the age structures of the crowds and what future you have when young people are not attending. At the Waratahs last game there was a spot for all the walking frames. Also if kids aren't exposed to the game at school then all they get is TV sports or what the school offers...

    Growing QLD Schoolboy Rugby

    Agree. The schools in NSW are only in 4 main associations and they rarely meet except in the occasional trial or Waratah Shield competition. So that is not a lot of schools with a rugby program. Perhaps 35 schools I realise this is about Qld but know from friends here in NSW that if NSW11...

    Waratah Shield 2016

    I presume the cup is still underway? That is where things have changed. Many schools without a rugby program seem happy in that competition and would forfeit against a GPS etc. association. It is the schools who should be making the shield the peak event that have not. The concept of the 4...
