Seriously. A minister of the crown hands a seemingly profitable opportunity to a mate without following government mandated process. The ARU sells to a bloke something they have now admitted they knew was basically a steaming pile of crap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This shits me. Just more of the media trying to fill the ARU created void. Complete lack of leadership shown by them again. They could have hosed a lot of this down this week if they had chosen to, but they are too busy protecting their own arses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree it is not a good idea, but recent track record doesn't show many of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Half, I have cherry picked a few comments of yours here, but I think you have misunderstood what communities they are talking about. In the example you picked, both sides are backed by strong ethnic communities. This is the case with most if not all sides at least at State premier league level...

I had a look back and the SANZAAR press release announcing the restructure doesn't say this. It presents it as a done deal, with broadcaster agreement and all unions having signed off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what I am unsure of. Is it a done deal, requiring further agreement for Aus to have 5 sides, or is it a situation of if it all gets too hard nothing changes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's something I can't get my head around at the moment. All decisions have to be unanimous. Apparently the broadcast deals have been revised and all parties have agreed to reduce teams. Why is it assumed 15 teams is an option, especially if SA sort their house out. If the ARU can't make a...

I don't think Buddy gets the money, rather it is just counted towards the salary cap as if he had. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about payments made to other members of the company such as all the state RUs? I'm pretty sure that the following clause 2.1(b) covers off payments to members in course of business activities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, no board members are from Victoria. No conspiracy there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wonder if it is a bet both ways against super rugby's future. If the NRC becomes the basis of a national comp at some point they have their foot in the door. Being able to guarantee a spot on an NRC squad has also got to help your SS recruiting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When is McGahan's time up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And more freedom around who he can hire. I think this has always been a goal of his. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is the response the John Eren letter wanted, so it looks like the state government are in. Maybe a bit late, but I am sure that was discussed. Assuming the new TV deal is signed and locked away, does Sanzaar, in the event no decision is reached on an Australian team being removed, just...

If it is the same broadcaster for Pro12 and Super Rugby in SA it would probably add value as they have increased interest in Pro12, similar interest in Super Rugby, and more games in a friendly timeslot overall. If not, then different story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like the ARU may have made a tactical blunder with the early meeting offer. They can lay out their incompetence, or hide it and look dishonest and secretive for all members to see. They then potentially face a vote of no confidence off the back of that a couple of weeks later...

Hawthorn I think make the most from it. Two massive venues - one at Waverley Gardens, one Caroline Springs, so both mid to outer suburban. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our provisional team you mean. There's still the warm up injuries after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just saw Gareth Delve was the guest on the Rugby Dungeon podcast this week. Looking forward to listening to that on the way home tonight. I had forgotten how much man love I have for the bloke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have they cut off the EGM or just arranged an interim meeting? No one has reported that RUPA and the VRU have rescinded their EGM call. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
