Interesting article about Ian Roberts. http://www.smh.com.au/national/health/the-effects-of-concussion-linger-decades-after-nrl-stars-hang-up-their-boots-study-suggests-20180207-h0ve6y.html

Confused where to post this i.e. this thread or the RA thread. Judgement call made more sense on this thread as we are cutting a Super Rugby team. This is competition to Super Rugby so I posted here as I said a judgement call. As many would appreciate my support for the RA board is not the greatest and has not...

Some the long and short of it is K Hunt cannot going fishing for sharks and have a beer at the same time nor smoke a cigi or somke the other kind, nor drive his car to the beach.

Killer I doubt there has been a more critical poster on this site of the ARU / RA than me. To the extent I am restricted in many ways in writing / creating threads. Moreover I have been accused of many things from being a Troll to not having the interest of rugby in my posting. I think I can...

Killer HHHHMMmmmmm I will and have said a lot about the incompetence of the RA board its leadership, vision and direction. However I don't think very move they make is embedded and fixed to a lets get Twiggy. Others The AFL is introducing AFLX in a few days, sorta the AFL version of the Big...

If fixing Super Rugby is not the most important thing in Australian rugby today then I am a monkey’s uncle. Reading an article on the Roar I was, stunned, stupefied, staggered, speechless, surprised, shocked, the S words are not enough flabbergasted, gobsmacked. Bewildered will do as my final words...

More on Beattie from Steve Mascord on the Roar. http://www.theroar.com.au/2018/01/31/peter-beattie-brave-naive/

^^^^^^ From the OZ seems he has the support of the clubs and wants to expand the NRL. Perth and second Brisbane are the odds on two new teams. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/nrl/players-world-cup-fracas-no-spanner-in-queensland-origin-works/news-story/324aa62c633fc95cee3aaa8a4fed1506...

Gonna be hhhhmmmmm searching for the right word just can't figure it out. How the QLD press treat Peter Beattie who is the new chair of the league and also how the NSW media will treat him given he has moved to Balmain ...

Dan Further to our discussions on the previous page pertaining to what can NZ do to help. I think first acknowledge the challenges faced by rugby in Australia then don’t be kind to our management they need a few kicks up the backside. Moreover to arguably work with Australia to create say a...

Slim My read of the Australian sporting environment by state by code. QLD:- League, Union, Soccer, AFL NSW:- League, Soccer, Union, AFL ACT:- League, Union, Soccer, AFL VIC:- AFL, Soccer, League, Union SA:- AFL, Soccer, League, Union WA:- AFL, Soccer, Union, League NT:- AFL, Soccer...

Dan54 Just a couple of points, that they play league and soccer and basketball in NZ implying you too have these issues but you simply work harder. If that’s the thinking in NZ about the level of sporting competition in Australia and the Australian sporting environment then there is little to...

Dan54 To your post above. Lots of emotion, about NZ rugby and the NZ fan, which is very positive. No doubt NZ is the boss rugby nation in our neck of the woods. While you acknowledge, the acceptance that NZ rugbies need a strong Australia, you then say in the next sentence essentially why...

What happens if Australian Super Rugby has another year like or similar to last year. Will rugby in its current format survive if the year repeats?????

OK here goes my humble attempt to explain a sporting analysis by a senior executive from Europe over here on a kinda working vacation. He calls it the top six rule [6]. In context ran into a mate also having a couple of days off and he had one of his Australian Clients overseas experts for...

^^^^^^ FF (Folau Fainga'a), that's a well written letter or what ever it was. I would add that the current board cannot even remotely win back either trust or ever hope to broker a peace deal. The Bean Counter mentally, coupled the slavish desire to met the wants and desires of a failing US media company at...

FF (Folau Fainga'a) You need to give her time and you may well be right. However the TR concept does not fill me with confidence about the future as it does not even attempt to solve the national domestic competition. Also, sports fans of all codes and rugby will be no different do not take kindly to an...

^^^^^^^^^^^^ http://www.theroar.com.au/2018/01/10/rugby-australia-announces-major-pay-increase-super-rugby-players/ OK some quite hostile towards AR. I copied a couple of bits from different posts and you do wonder if the AR have a PR department. I fail to understand this decision in the...
