Zavos was on ABC Digital's Clubhouse this week (3 Sept edition). He is on around 4:21. http://blogs.abc.net.au/grandstand/rugby-union-the-clubhouse/ Having listened to the podcast, he is all over the shop. Very scattergun approach. His editor must have their work cut out for them.

Don’t expect high penetration of IPTV and streaming in the short term. However, SANZAR should look at the longer term, say 10-15 years from now where it will in all likelihood be a viable alternative delivery method for rugby and have sufficient demand. It will take a while to iron out the kinks...

The NRL are reportedly offering $1 to $1.5mil for his services. Unlikely the ARU would want to pay (or afford) that.

The interns are back for 2013! Original link: http://www.waratahs.com.au/Waratahs/Corporate/WaratahsRecruitment.aspx Other areas of experience not listed include: mastering internal politics, leaking to the media, and spell checking.

Could this be an attempt to soften us up before they foist Deans onto the Tahs?

Just trying to work out who the high profile senior Tahs official involved in the Link, Blake and SBW story could be. Outside of the players and coaching staff, the highest profile official should be the CEO, but he is rarely sighted. Besides, I don't think he would be audacious enough come up...

Slow news day on the rugby front at Fairfax for them to toss this up. Where there's smoke, they must be fire. So one official has gone "rogue"? WTF is going on at Tahs HQ? For a game that relies on team work, the Tahs back office is imploding. How long can they drag the search for a head coach...

We're still waiting to hear about/see the results of the RWC review. So even when this review is completed, it would not surprise if it is kept private. Also, waiting (in vain?) for the investigation into the alleged salary cap rorting. Cricket Australia set the example by releasing the...

The NBL is offering a 2012/13 full season pass for $79 or monthly access for $19. It will be interesting to see how successful this offering is. http://www.nbl.com.au/news/article/2012/august/landmark-broadcast-deal/ This is the future. The AFL also looks to be positioning itself to produce...

I'll jump on the bandwagon again in 2013 getting the 8 game package and plan to upgrade to a better seat for the Lions. Should be able to get a row to myself or, if I'm lucky, a bay. Marketing is pretty ordinary. Noticed on the back page of the application form they have the Sharks instead of...

Read the Zavos article. Fancy comparing the comments made about a rugby coach to the legitimacy of the US President. At least he didn't go on about who he recently spoke to. If this is what's left of Fairfax's rugby coverage (together with Burke) after the staff clean out, then they may as well...

Maybe Fairfax will outsource rugby reporting in NSW to the Tahs Rugby Media Unit or just use their press releases.

McGrath still predicts whitewashes. The only difference is that he isn't on the field to carry it out.

What about Greg Growden? He cops it a lot on G&GR so how about giving him the right to reply? As he included reference to the "I'm Radio" T-shirt on Ruck & Maul, he can't be all bad. :) If he's on after he leaves Fairfax, he maybe more forthcoming. It would be interesting to hear his...

Wow. That list of departures from Fairfax is massive. Seems they will be more of an aggregator of material from a variety of sources rather than generating any original content. Another nail in the coffin. Hope Growden has a big last day and names names. From today's Ruck & Maul, it could be...

Maybe the guy was actually watching the game rather than trolling for gossip or thinking about the half time pies provided.

Nuci? :mad:

That would do my head in. Not beyond the Tahs to pull something out of the hat like that though. Not many top flight coaches available at the moment, so will the ARU appoint Link right off the bat or will they undertake a search? Interesting to see what the reasons given will be for his...

Apparently, they already seek advice from AFL coaches. For whatever reason, it isn't sinking at the moment. Yeah, I know it's Growden writing, but Roos is pictured at training.

More aimless kicking from the Wallabies than during the Swans vs Hawks match going on at the same time.
