You are kidding right ...

Let me lay my cards on the table. I am far from convinced that TR will work for the greater benefit of Australian rugby. Essentially my cry, moan, despire is we don't have a national domestic competition. However when you are on your arse and losing ground to fucking netball, basketball, and...

I hope he calls their bluff. As a matter of comparison, FFA last year ran a 10 team national domestic competition and ran 9 international sides including many international games overseas on 102 million dollars. Last year it was reported the A-League clubs on average lost 1.4 million each. So...

I can tell a very similar story about Newcastle wanting to enter a team in the NCR before it got off the ground. The folks at Newcastle pulled out as the demand for money, who played, where they played, the coach etc was all done in Sydney HQ

This is huge news and although its about AFL the ripple effect to us is obvious. AFL facing concussion Armageddon Richard Earle, The Advertiser November 29, 2017 9:20am Subscriber only Ads by Kiosked THE AFL has long indulged a paranoia about the world game but Gillon McLachlan has genuine...

I read a tweet the other day from the US about their NFL or gridiron, and crowds are down and TV Ratings both FTA & Cable are also down. basketball, baseball and hockey the same. Only soccer increased slightly and they think because they are adding teams. It kinda led me on a bit of a journey...

^^^^^^^^ Part of the email indicates Pulver miss lead the senate enquiry as did Cox. My understanding in the grand scheme of things that’s a big issue.

Wam I am sure your business expertise and experience, you would have formed the opinion in business you need some basic or core essentials. Bear with me, as despite your negative outlook at times, I do respect your business acumen. First of all you need a product, second you need a good...

Cyclopath This is my vision and Daz by the way it’s been close to a week not five hours. I can send you some links on simple maths using dates and times if you like. We create and 8 team national domestic competition with room to grow to 16 teams. We have 5 teams, if we get the Force back...

WCR I have calmed down now, taken a pill, had a drink, and said to myself we live in arguably the best part of the world, we are free, we have food to eat, water to drink and shelter. Also a reasonably lawful place. We enjoy hot showers, and tools and gadgets and air travel never seen before...

WCR As I posted it's ""yesterday once more"", for me. Rugby is hemorrhaging before our eyes. Rather than look at systems like how do or does the ARU own the teams, sit on the SANZAR board, direct Australia and decide through SANZAR our cut and then hand it out. Accountants and business...

WCR Sometimes I despair at the reaction of rugby folk. You IMO are one of the best and fairest posters on this site, and your knowledge on rugby is far far greater than mind, in fact better than most on this site. Your tag has air of authority a kinda should read poster. Your last post...

WCR You are being to defensive. I fully accept and agree with your post above regarding games Australia play against PI nations. My point is this, we cut a Super Rugby team, resulting in Australia having only 4 professional rugby teams. League has 16, or 48 depending on how you count SG Ball and...

WAM Me thinks you confuse two separate issues into one. We can have nay should have excellence in management, that the excellent management team will still struggle is accepted. You said """ that "excellence" in management in our code includes a deep understanding of the game."""" I would...

WCR & WAM I think the point others myself included are making about the PI issue is it seems to be following a typical Australian rugby scenario. To illustrate one of my clients in his late 70’s now still speaks with huge pride that in his year he was a second rower for Parramatta High and as...

I honestly can't see a issue with France having it.

^^^^^^^^^ Stewth I have been watching the A-League ratings closely, to see what they could offer in years to come. Fox are averaging about 71k per match down from 86k at the same time last year and up from 62k the year before. There FTA numbers are a tad mixed, there ratings this year per...

James I said I would write something on the weekend re your astute post, or that part of your post where you said “”””The international nature of Super Rugby may have been great for Australian rugby for the first 10 years but it is now clearly a chain dragging down the sport.”””” It’s been far...
