Whether it's super rugby or a domestic model I think that the wages will be lower. Super Rugby isn't financially viable and is becoming less so as crowds and TV viewers decline. Long term I think a local domestic competition will be more financially viable and the talent pool isn't necessarily...

He doesn't think it will be a revenue generator, but neither is Super Rugby so it's revenue neutral either way.

Work on Homebush was due to begin in June 2020 after the league SOO games. SFS not ready until early to mid 2022 (they're making up time during the lockdown as they don't have to take days off for games at SCG) SFS due to host league SOO in 2022. Leaguies will use SCG or Bankwest for big...

Those who want us tied to SANZAAR because they say a domestic competition won't make money have never been able to explain your point

So, unelected board members wouldn't want to be dictated to by unelected experts. The irony Wamberal, the irony.

While I'm not a huge Castle fan, there's no doubt that she was thrown under the bus by the board. There can be no doubt that all of the big calls that she made were made either with the approval of the board or at the direction of the board. The board should have all announced that they were...

Y Yep, and they all just circulate from board to board with no particular loyalty or vision for anything. Just another notch to try to get themselves to the next step.

Still trying to get people to put up preferred candidates without any proper process?

You change the constitution. It's not that complicated. You prefer to make things seem so complicated because it suits your narrative.

Yes Kenny, every nominee for the board needs to clearly enunciate why they want to be on the board and what they are going to contribute to the advancement of rugby while they are there. There also needs to be a public nomination process, not the secretive behind closed doors stuff where two...

Coached Sydney Uni 2nd grade for a few years back before they were the force they are now. Joe Hockey was one of his props.

100% correct Gnostic.

Unfortunately, they can't even attract the rugby faithful anymore. The rump who follow super rugby are the hard core rusted on. A good portion of those who still watch the Wallabies do so more out of habit or patriotic obligation than unbridled enthusiasm at what's on offer. Professional sport...

Anyone who wants to coach professional sport needs to be resilient.

It's actually the north shore private school network which has chained us to the SANZAAR setup, grade rugby is well below their view of the world. In fact it was a member of the said north shore private school network which told the clubs that they'd get nothing from the ARU because all they...

Given that in the more contentious issues she faced she would have been acting at the direction of or at least the approval of the board and the chairman, it's hard to escape the conclusion that she's been thrown under the bus quite unfairly. Paul McLean said today that by December this year...

Elitists like you have a real fear of the people making decisions don't you? And I never suggested that everyone get a vote - another deliberate misrepresentation - stakeholders get a vote. Seems to work ok in England and rugby in England has been on an upward trajectory for a while mirroring...

The objective evidence is that it doesn't.

You're the one who asked me who I would nominate, I merely answered your question in quite a rational way. I didn't say that I would do it myself. In fact I was at pains to point out that the idea of people throwing up names of their favourites (which you seemed to suggest) is precisely the...

Has anyone said that Folau received a billion dollars? Seriously?
