OK. I'll get back in my box....... ....... for now.

Does it look any tidier though? Surely you can have the latest few and then a link to the archive, where the remainder are stored. I'm not an IT guy, and that may well be the reason, but it seems weird to me. .

Well that's not RA for starters. There are some murky dealings around that for sure, but I'm not sure it proves your point that this is like the banks. .

I disagree, because really there isn't much shit at all. The annual report thing is a case in point - it's not like they are hiding dirty laundry. They are old annual reports, which if anything are too bland. There is no discernible reason to take these down, and it's secrecy for it's own...

It goes to my earlier point about transparency, and the increasing reluctance of sporting codes to show the wider public what they are doing and why. Yet another example comes this week with the FFA and the saga around the coach of the Matildas. They've sacked him, but won't tell anybody why...

So it appears they have been taken down. No idea why this was necessary. Just another example of things being behind closed doors for no discernable reason.

Hunt has been very well advised in the past 12 months. Kept his head down, trained hard, fronted up in the NRC, no public big nights on the piss, no angry interviews or quotes about Thorn etc. He's played the long game, and it seems to be paying off.

Really? Did that all come from the Crawford Report, or was it earlier than that?

True. While we can point to individual failings (and there are no doubt plenty) it may be the structure more broadly is the real problem. The answer isn't going back to the way things were, as that had its problems too. And there is no perfect solution. You'd think there has to be a middle...

I didn't mean problem - poor choice of words on my part. 'A rugby-only phenomenon' would be a better way of putting it. .

I know, I was being facetious. It's a stupid idea that I wholly expect to be adopted in the next Super Rugby restructure.

I've been reading a few cricket books over Christmas, the best of which is 'Crossing the Line' by Gideon Haigh. Thoroughly recommend it if you are a cricket fan. The workings of Cricket Australia and their role in the Cape Town fiasco (amongst other things) is a big focus of that book, and it...

Yeah I'm with Cobber. Sounds to me like they've tapped a few ex-players to pop their heads in occasionally - likely through Hoiles' links with the classic Wallabies. Considering the 7s are generally a bunch of really young guys it makes a lot of sense, especially now they've lost James...

I'd also suggest there is a difference between starring in pornography (as Badger posits) and playing a supporting role. Raelene Castle has been woefully silent on this subject, as usual. .

A sentence (and spelling) that I honestly never thought I'd see on this site. In many ways, it's the culmination of everything we hoped when we started this forum a decade ago. Well done, guys, we've reached the apex. It's all downhill from here. .

Will Kayo viewing be included in ratings totals? Might make it hard for RA if not, as you'd expect a decline in traditional Fox viewership due to people jumping to Kayo.

Not just film it, but then share it with your footy mates on a group chat. Who gladly receive said videos. Who are these people?

On that note, I've heard the Tahs have a few new signings in the works - Ted Hanigan, Jed Hanigan and Chad Hanigan. All lightweight but mobile backrowers - just what we need! .

If Giteau's law didn't exist, surely Arnold would have gone offshore five years ago?

You really don't fit in here, do you. .
