Top story in the SMH... Beasties in a spot. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/are-we-all-in-this-together-police-investigate-as-photos-of-packed-out-trial-rugby-game-emerge-20200712-p55bcv.html Looked like there were a few to watch Manly / Souths as well - looks like (correctly) a lot of...

I think the point that a lot of people miss is that no countries apart from NZ have the depth to fill 5 super rugby quality sides. Take the foreigners out of France and England and you're not left with a huge amount of locals. I actually think more foreign players is a great idea - no more than...

Do I hear Newport's early optimism numbers-wise are unfounded?

Great news - Though I would love to know who pays who here. Didn't RA buy the rights to presumably sell them on? So do I assume that Channel 7 is therefore paying for them?

haha - you're not wrong there re Cessnock just pipping Lithgow.... tho Pokolbin has a proud Rugby club.

Good on young Jo I say - I hear that he is a talent and any kid playing in a GPS school first grade at 14 has to be a freak. The thing tho that gets me is this..... Wasnt the NRL on its knees one week into the pandemic? V'Landys immediately had his hand out to the gubberment and the clubs were...

I must say I am nervous about the Tahs performance in 2020. We may well be into year 6 of our 3 year rebuilding phase.

7 grades to be played each week - great result for club rugby.

what date was this recording?

Chiefs - Blues on Sat ranked 17th on Foxtel with 36k Canes saders on Sunday - 20th with 34k. I tuned in with a beer at 3pm Sydney time and missed 78 mins of the game. why the fuck was it so early?

crowds also 22 and 41k respectively

Highlanders Chiefs - Sat on Fox sports drew 42,000 and ranking was 18th. The top was the NRL Knights vs Storm with 283k. Blues Canes on Sunday drew 41k and ranking was 12th. The top was the AFL swans vs Essendon with 255k shows how far we have to go but the Aus games might mean the 2 games...

Very sad times. I often wonder how I would respond if 6 months ago I was allowed 1 hour to read the future press on march 31, 2020. Not sure I'd get off the floor. What we are going through now is simply off the chart but we will get through it and support the game in numbers when it returns.

never ever feel sorry for someone on 40 grand a week who willingly signed up for the role. Like ScoMo and his exhausted face on the TV - you signed up for this - now lead us....

Watching the NRL squirm and squeal with their current predicament means ( i dearly hope) they'll stop trawling and offering ridiculous amounts of money to NZ and Australian teenage rugby players to make up for their lack of depth. hopefully they'll leave us alone while they fight over their...

My $0.02 Are sponsors going to keep tipping money in? unlikely. Broadcasters certainly aren't. Crowds - nup Can't survive on jersey sales..... The only chance of survival as I see it, is if they get a govt and WorldRugby bailout. World Rugby will need to be in a position to to do this as we...

sorry - depth Counting a trial win as the CAS whipping boys shows how far the mighty have fallen. Saying that though, Shore's lower grades look pretty strong in all age groups.

yeah I get the massive shits when the Wallabies pinch decent coaches at Super Level. Cheika was horrid at Wallabies level but had the Tahs in a great spot when he was there - then he went to Wallables. Link Mackenzie another example...

The new headmaster at Shore apparently has been told his first priority is to fix their first XV. Whilst the school has strong debt the angst continues that the firsts havent won a game in 3 years...

hope there is a half decent crowd - a shame really.. the opening game deserves a crowd
