Demetriou's salary package was $1.88m in 2012, $1.8m in 2011 and $2.2m in 2010. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-03-18/demetriou-earns-his-crust I fail to understand why anyone should be earning bonuses in a non profit organisation. Bill Pulver is talking a good game at them moment, let's...

Thanks for pretty much confirming the mention below was referring to the Tahs.

Great analysis Scott. The corporate expenditure for the Tahs would be pretty high as well with two sets of administration for the NSWRU and Waratahs Rugby. As an outsider looking in, the split has added no discerning value to the state of rugby in NSW. Throw in the Sydney Rugby Union and...

I'm one of the 75% that have no interest in getting Pay TV, but I actively seek out rugby media. I would love it if there was a streaming package like the NBA has. However, for the casual or unintiated, it's a case of out of sight out of mind. Could a delayed broadcast work? The Australian...

From CEO Greg Peters on Twitter in response to similar sentiments from Greg Growden. The Wallabies games are on FTA due to the anti-siphoning laws. Fox would love to have the Wallabies matches to themselves since sport is one of the key attractions of subscription TV. If the laws weren't...

Gets to celebrate twice. This weekend is for 100 games for the Tahs and then 100 Super Rugby matches in the next game. IIRR, his first game for NSW was in 2005 and he made his Super debut in 2006.

Some of the cotton ones need a once over. The modern polyester ones not so much.

The price of jerseys is a reflection of the higher cost of many things in Australia, eg software, books etc. Part of it may relate to the cost of doing business in Australia, but there would have to be an element of profiteering when you hear stories about it being cheaper to fly to the US to...

No train line, but light rail is on the cards. The NIMBYs are already complaining. http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/light-rail-to-reduce-congestion-and-revitalise-sydney With the current crowds they are attracting, they would comfortably fit into Parramatta Stadium. Not any...

If you want another brand from NSW in Super Rugby, then have another franchise. Otherwise, hands off the Waratahs! IIRR, it is one of two teams which existed before Super Rugby and has been around longer than most, if not all, of us and will be around for many more years. A few bad seasons...

Hopefully, the Blues rough up the Stormers before they play in Sydney. They will also have an extra day to recover since their game is on Friday....though they do have to travel over here.

Tahs play Stormers on May 11 @ SFS before the Brumbies on May 18 @ Homebush.

Swans match is listed as a sell out tonight. Probably be able to hear what's going on at the SCG from the SFS.

Sounds like grassroots league isn't going too well at the moment either.

There always seems to be talk from either the ARU or NSWRU about having a greater presence in western Sydney. The Tahs are running rugby clinics around Sydney, including one at Carlingford which is booked out, and holding an open training session in the lead up to the Brumbies match out at...

There was a logistics camp in January this year. http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/wallabies/new-south-wales-waratahs-recruit-israel-folau-left-out-of-wallabies-logistics-camp-in-sydney/story-e6frf55l-1226553830355#.UW_ci0qVhCI

If the two day logistics camp was just for admin things like photos in the 2013 gear, media, interviews etc, maybe Quade had already gotten his stuff sorted during the last camp? Photo: Getty Images

As others have mentioned, Mitch Chapman was the player that replaced Fitzpatrick. Here's the original G&GR post: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/mitchell-chapman-signs-with-waratahs/ Ulugia is a handy back up player, the Tahs should re-sign as he would be getting one of the lesser contracts...

Is this Bye based overseas? If so, the Tahs could be stuffed since they haven't won an overseas away match in years.

^ The games against the Blues and Hurricanes are the only ones I can remember in recent times where the hooker wasn't replaced in the second half. After Holmes' game against the Brumbies, I can understand why Cheika kept Ulugia on. Before Fitzpatrick was ruled out for the season, was Ulugia...
