Interesting from the tellie Football Federation boss David Gallop admits he was approached to head ARU - but turned it down WITH the end game in sight for the civil war over Football Federation’s future, there’s been all manner of speculation about the consequences for those involved. Not...

What I like about Bray the most and some of the newer folk could learn from it. Bray says what he sees and lets the person watching make their decision on what they are seeing. Some newer folk to me anyway seem to be trying to impress with their knowledge, kinda saying look how smart I am. I...

He is sounding a bit dated but I still like him.

Did not see this coming had heard something about it and a mate just sent me this AFL article. Seems the AFL will trail a new game played over four 10 minute quarters I thing with only 5 people a side at soccer stadiums. If this article is correct it will be played in the pre season when we are...

agree 10000000 %

Puts on a suit of armour, holds up shield for protection. Without doubt this is great for rugby. But is it as good for Australian rugby as many on here are posting. My biggest issue with Super Rugby was its limited number of teams in Australia and I often sighted AFL 18, NRL 16, A-League 10 with...

The three areas that stood out for me were the desire to bring back players, to expand the number of teams over time and to broadcast online. We need to expand the teams more than anything IMO and I posted in the Super Rugby thread kinda why.

Along with the TF announcement today, and my understanding of part of what was said was the six teams would be expanded. I can be corrected if I have this wrong. However today along with TF, was a plan put forward by 120 lower division soccer clubs to form a second division within two years of...

IMO a must watch and listen by all rugby fans. Excellent, brilliant words fail me.

Sorry for the late reply, have been busy. TBH I don't know but my gut tells me it was the ARU. A common theme from the rugby folk I met was this town is an AFL stronghold and rugby does not need mistakes like this in this town.

Thats not good news and agree with what you said

Just back from a few days in Perth, have never been there before and was impressed by a fair bit over there. Great train system, and in general public transport system, has a massive bus inter change as well. Dead boring at night I think it closed with the sun. Freeo is an amazing place and if...

The 7:30 report item and the Wayne Smith article IMO demonstrate the inquiry is making rugby a laughing stock. Machiavellian machinations have been demonstrated and yet the board still stays. Clyde seems more intent on protecting his and the boards interests above that of the rugby. Has the...

Makes sense if its a cumulative figures over the season. Be interesting to compare last years cumulative figure.

OK But This is last nights Basketball ratings on the ABC. I am positive rugby could do better. Fri TV #NBL #ABC #ILLatPER 43k Again maybe just me and maybe I am unique but I find these things interesting and Basketball, Netball and Soccer are our benchmarks. Hand on heart we could beat the...

We debated this a little way back about playing test matches in the clear air time between the end of the AFL & NRL and the start of the cricket. Points made included it needed to be meaningful matches, no major competition, playing at night. I got the following from posts on 442 sota this...

The NSW 7:30 report on the ABC ripped the ARU to sheds tonight and raised heaps of question about the axing of the WF. If anyone has the skill to look up the report and publish I am sure posters would find it interesting. To much to explain in a simple post.

117 or 127 not a huge difference by most standards disappointing no doubt for FFA. I have read the actual figure is 127 but lets no quibble. However what is interesting is statements coming from 10, indicating they are more than happy and wanta work to build the ratings [obviously its in their...

Not quite as good as we may think. The adding was wrong apparently the actual 10 rating was 127 K and last year the SBS opening number was 118k. Fox is down a little but the bigger matches are being played latter than last year. Statement from 10 on the numbers. """" The spokesperson said Ten...
