Wam re your post above. Wam, IMO its so obvious, and has been been for years. However the anti SS zealots will role out the foolishness and folly of such thoughts and consider people who think like this, insane and should be sent to the funny farm. Carried away by men in their little white...

People will still argue for the status que and if they come across uncomfortable articles or posts will attack the message-er not discuss the issue.

Yep

Sometimes you put your head in your hands look to the sky and ask yourself why. For the love of the holy mother Mary and given we are trying to recover and all that stuff. Tell me why these two games are not swapped this weekend in timing. Is it just me or does anyone ever think about the draw...

If Hunt is dump enough to sit on the sidelines The Reds are smart enough to pay him to sit on the sidelines.

What these stats never tell you is where on the field. 10 yards out from your line you play differently to 10 yards from the oppositions try line. Also the effect of a couple of poor calls by the "Blind & Death " [rugby ref]. Would add if you have been under the pump a while and you get the...

Reds fans will return far quicker than the forum is predicting if they win a few more. Would help if they played at least some attractive rugby as well.

Most boards are by their nature secretive, and most boards seek to increase their control over key issues. RA in this aspect is not that different to a typical board. Good governance today wants nay demands more information and a less secretive board. My reading of the tea leafs is those...

Yep, but times have changed, and IMO Twiggy had / has the presence to pull it off.

Wam Tis interesting how many people put down the SS when it is arguably the last bit of rugby in Australia with very strong support, but in numbers in the media and at grass roots. Re the four Sydney teams coming from the SS this is how I would have put it together. Essentially make four rep...

Me thinks hhhhmmmm aarrrrrr what you have posted is by a long way the most likely outcome. For me what is sad so sad is that you are more than likely right. For close to 20 years now I have banged on about the need to develop a national domestic competition even if at the start its only NSW...

I think your right, the miss trust between the states and whatever power and control they have is jealously guarded. Throw into this RA and its board then add the S board. Lets not forget the resentment of the NRC by some SS clubs who felt left out and not appreciated. So me thinks we are...

Reds with two wins on the trot will increase crowds and ratings by themselves.

Any idea why we played at Suncorp just seemed soulless

Agree with this 100%. I would add also with the Reds finding some form, and the Rebels should add to both crowds and their ratings, the averages for key metrics will grow and by a fair bit. Trouble as always a four team competition from an Australian stance. As for TW I wish him no harm nor...

Leave the back door open and, the NRL drew 38, 824 to Optus Stadium. https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/perth-stadium/how-did-optus-stadium-suit-rectangular-sport-ng-b88770342z

I still think ratings will recover this year as an average per game for the Australian teams. If the Reds can find some form and win a few then they alone could lift the averages.

Rebels ratings and crowds will be interesting to watch, big call to keep them and they brought a decent squad.

Those posters who seem to be death riding the eastern states and post in terms of winning and conquest. Always remember Napoleon Bonaparte who even through he won, found if nothing is left standing then everyone losses. I am sure TF understands this and has no intention of hurting the...

Its quite smart. 7 games against 7 teams all in Perth. He only has to pay the 7 visiting teams for match say $ 500, 000 per game, offset by crowd and sponsor income. Very clever very clever indeed. The matches & squad. Western Force 2018 squad AJ Alatimu, Chris Alcock, Marcel Brache...
