If RA just told other broadcasters to bugger off and set up their own stream direct from the website - all money going direct to RA i'd pay $50 - $100 eaaasily. I'd want all club rugby, NRC, Super Rugby and tests though.

Nah, just give his paycheck to Arnold and get him back

Just thinking of a solution to the calendar issues/Super Rugby going home and away for 22 weeks. That would be too long, or would need a break (NO!) for the June tests, so lets play them in April/May instead - straight after the 6 Nations. I think NH club seasons are done by then? Instead of the NH...

That's exactly the approach i'd take - and your other post addressed another good point. If you do segment into regions, then you cant have players jumping ship to a different franchise. Brisbane has several top teams each side of the river, Sydney much the same. Canberra could do the same...

Yup....exactly, ties in nicely with the NRC! Randwick/Sydney Uni too... IT's a great comp, but the regions need re-jigging to try and harness some club rugby hated. Manly might hate Warringah, but if the rep team they feed to is up against Uni/Randwick' feeder team....how hard could it be to...

You keep your dirty mits off him - Swain and Frost are our next long term locking combo, we poached Frost back from NZ fair and square.

Wright - all three top wingers (Kata and Muirhead included) are on a rotation system. All three are fantastic, they agreed to a rotation system apparently. Kellaway - yup he's in my squad, Dauguna as well. That bloke is greased lightning, he's so much faster than anyone else on the field it's...

I reckon the cake wouldn't take too long actually, after that lol

As we speak of it - https://wwos.nine.com.au/rugby/wallabies-all-blacks-stars-want-south-africa-out-hooper-cane-rugby/541f6a7e-df50-4bfe-bd8f-5b9a00ad029e Allegedly the anzac players want the same model....

I think ideally, we'd get cracking next year with Super 10, and expand as necessary. GRR to continue as normal, would have to run afterwards though if the Force want in. Asia is no where near being quality enough to compete with Aus/NZ/Islands etc yet. Down the line, i'd love to see them just...

Keep the current 4, let Twiggy keep the Force up to standard (publicly call him to commit to it) and when we have winning teams, support comes back and with it money. With more money, we can keep more top players around and improve the star power and quality of the comp. The brands have...

He was, by RA and QLD to join the rest of the young players coming through on long term deal.

We have those two teams already, and others with building rivalries as well. League only has SOO because it's the only two states in the world who give a shit about it, so it's their equivalent of a test match. If the Wallabies won sometimes, you'd find a Bledisloe get just as much hype as we...

I reckon Twiggy would come to the party for this - a personal contribution from him to hire some top players to get the Force up to speed quickly again, would probably equal what the other 4 teams have to pay their players anyway. WA as a whole would also get behind them, they'd be pretty cashed...

Currently, it sounds like NZ and Aus will open to each other for travel around July ish. If so, then we can get an impromptu finals series going this year, then roll straight into the 10 team comp next year. Nothing needs reworking at all, no rebranding, nothing is different to the comp we...

Surely the easiest option from here is just a 10 team Trans-Tasman comp, right? Force back in, play a 10 team home and away comp, with a top four finals. If the Force can't, then 9 teams and one just has the bye weekend. I'd really prefer they didn't happen, and we just imposed game limits on...

Was the winning margin too. It's fine, i've forgotten about it.

That kid was a monster, the only thing he couldn't do was jump in the lineout. I reckon the Wallabies could have used a 55min backrow replacement like this - 25mins of rampaging ball running by a bloke with soft hands and great playmaking skills. Fark, haven't we all been pining for...

RE Hooper - he'll play for a few more years but I just don't see him still being better than McReight by the next WC.

Not really - it worked very well in 2015 when Fardy was on the flank, as he provided that 3rd lineout option, did the grunt work at rucks and tackled like a demon, but could also run it well enough to cover for Pocock's limitations. It was a superb backrow and then Cheika fucked it by cutting...
