    There are three general levels of sport, those that play it for fun, those that are paid professionals, and those wanting to join the professional ranks. Both the professional level and the play for fun rely on each other. The professional level need fans and new players coming through thus...

    That's interesting little pre media and promotion and playing against a middle eastern side where there is little tradition . We play Fiji slightly less media but a traditional foe. Will be interesting to compare. Also the NRL and AFL put replays of their grand finals on the same night...

    We are not talking about the A-League we are talking about the NRC. It does not need much money at all. Take the existing SS teams in Sydney, add teams from the Gong, Central Coast, Newcastle Hunter, Brisbane, and say a OLD regional, a Melbourne competition and a Pert competition. Lets say...

    to take the current framework and realities and work within that. The current reality is not working and in need of fixing with a view to medium to long term planning. Yours is to basically take a blank slate and start again with your preferred structure. Nothing could be further from the...

    ^^^^^ BH, I don't think we will ever agree on the NRC. No disrespect intended, but I feel you represent many in rugby, and where you see rugby and where you see it going, I feel we over a beer we would disagree on most things pertaining to rugby. The essential difference between us IMO is...

    Thanks for the questions. What would the new version look like. Either a 8 or 10 team competition running when Super Rugby runs now. What should the structure be? The existing 5 Super Rugby teams, plus 3 to 5 others, say Newcastle ? hunter, Central Coast etc. The ARU would run and control the...

    Just on the NRC. I among others have called it out from day one as rushed and would end in tears. Looks like its heading that way. I gain no pleasure in saying the "" Nobody Really Cares""" competition structure was wrong and I still think this. Maybe its time we took a leaf out of Frank...

    Feel the pain. Same here, I left for a few weeks and came back hoping against hope that we could maintain where we were . If they drop a side I am gone for good and forever. I posted a while back, the damage being done to Rugby with media partners, sponsors, the general public and their...

    HHHMMMmm slightly scared to post this. What the hell, as most of you know my wife is a very keen soccer person. Given out woes I kinda decided to leave Super Rugby and look at local park teams. I still need a degree of high level sport and in the interest of getting fed soccer has seen me arrive...
