Without doubt this is going to happen.

Strew Some interesting date / competition analysis coming up. The Socceroo's could have two home games in October and November, when they are in between cricket starting and after the NRl & AFL & Super Rugby finals. The ratings for the game this week against the Thai's. Tue STV World Cup...

Dru This is for you and those demanding change and wanting to take on the ARU. I also posted this on the Super Rugby thread in response to the key words used by a poster who posted. """Wake me up when its over""" Anyways this is a song who key lyric says """Wake me up when its over""" [ i.e the...

I have been pondering the various comments, coming and goings and media presentations by the ARU and TF. My conclusion is we are wandering into hhhhhmmm dangerous nay wrong word, hhhmmmm potentially dangerous areas. Why we have a senate enquiry into a sport somewhat amazes me and is highly...

No read what I said. I said those that say because rugby is so international, this will save rugby in Australia, and they seem to believe that the size of international rugby will save Australian rugby no matter how much the admin stuff it up. I said as rugby expands internationally that...

Very apt song title. The lyrics actually sit nicely with our position. BTW a great song, imaginary not bad either. Enjoy. Stretch the mind and imagine TF rides the horse [Ok in the song its a girl but powerful] Take it further TF is the lead girl in this song, no offence to TF BTW watch the...

Killer There is no more international sport than soccer. Prior to the A-League the Soccoroo's accounted for almost 100% of soccer's income. Lowy came in and set about establishing a National Domestic Competition. Today the A-League accounts for I have read about 85% of FFA income...

My dislike of the ARU and state Unions is the lack of planning for a National Domestic Competition, with a club network beneath that and grassroots beneath that again. It appears the new league has a very large element of Asian teams and many teams based overseas. How this helps I am not...

BH & Derpus Thanks you prove my point.

Its not about money, you totally miss read the meaning of my post. I am saying many in rugby say the game in Australia will be saved as it is an international game and we are an important part of that. I am saying as rugby grows internationally, Australia becomes a smaller player than it is...

A claim of many on this site and people in official positions in Australia is how important the international aspects of rugby is. However the line taken with this international rugby's importance suffers the same illusion and way-would thinking as has plagued rugby's adminstration for...

Creating a base to build from and if they had not achieved this we would be where.

I give him this he has a silver tongue he can certainty talk a good talk.

Just listened to TF on the following news link. By fuck he is impressive. Very well worth listening too. http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby/western-force-fight-on-against-aru-with-plans-to-launch-a-rebel-competition/news-story/6e933965ad1720d1a7be318f2b3aabc4

Just on the new competition. Won't be a Super League type war IMO, as both Packer & Murdoch had income streams and expected to at the end have a very profitable product. Not saying it will be small neither, just can't see TF allocating the funds needed to fund a full on war away from his...

Interesting very interesting but by no means unexpected. This old saying maybe apt for the ARU today. "" Win the battle, lose the war"""

From what I read Fox wanted 5 teams. I have read that most of the money came from European broadcasters where the ratings are said to have fallen significantly.

HHHHmmm I asked the or followed a question saying what if SANDZZAR don't invite the WF to the new competition. Someone asked why and I said I think broadcasters had a lot to do with it. Someone then asked why. I explained my throughts. Its not a re write of history, its my opinion on...
