oldie . But you heard what the two lawyers called their baby that was born legless. Yep they called the baby . Sue..

That's a powerful couple of letters

^^^^^^ Killer for a more updated version of Mark Bolan's song, by a heavy metal band, IMO the band is better and its played harder, by a great German band. But no one can replace Bolan's voice and drive. Scorpion's version is how I envisage the change an Twiggy and co and the rugby family take...

Well what a week great vid by SBS. Campo just announced he is coming home and wants to help. Twiggy is applying the """ blow torch to the belly of the ARU""' Pappy is starting to be listened too and not considered a ratbag basket case. Maybe there is a silver lining after all . The...

Brilliant by SBS ... speaks for me does this and show. To those outside Sydney & Brisbane just how big the Shute Shield is .. Very interesting when Papa said thye recieve little funding from the ARU and have essentially gone their own way with revenues and crowding increasing hugely across the...

MASSIVE RUMOURS SWEEPING THE SOCCER WORLD. GALLOP IS LEAVING AND WILL BE APPOINTED THE NEW CEO OF THE ARU. SOURCES SAY WAS AGREED IN MAY THIS YEAR.

Wam That this decision helps the NRL to me is beyond obvious and TOCC has explained it quite well. But it goes a lot deeper, the Force have had facilities build for them which are effectively free. They share these facilities with Perth Glory who I am told pay rent. The soccer community...

Unbelievable

The following article from a US doctor will I believe increasingly become a major issues and within in ten years may grow a life of its own. I read late last year that an argument “””Could “”” be made that a club knowingly puts a players health at risk. Tis something at some stage the ARU...

That would be strange as why would you not go to court in the first place. My understanding of arbitration is both sides agree to the decision.. its only when an error of law is made by the arbitrator or you have a totally new issue you can go to court.

My limited understanding is if you use an arbitrator you essentially agree on the issue be arbitrated that there will being no court case as both sides accept the decision. In theory it is far quicker and less costly than the courts. Meaning the Force need to come up with new grounds or find a...

Change the board, how I am unsure, IMO as I have many times posted I believe we need 4 clear years to develop a plan B or whatever name you want to call it. Rugby is kinda at a crossroads pertaining popular support, and our demographic is ageing. To remain at four teams, hidden away on...

I would add to BH's comment two things first soccer had SBS behind them and they lobbied Canberra for a helping hand and got one. Second they had Frank Lowy who at the time enjoyed near total support from the soccer community and he became a dictator he just went in and went bang . I seriously...

It’s a tragic farce being played out by the ARU. How they can keep a straight face in media briefings is beyond me. The damage to brand RUGBY is unmeasurable. I think the ARU have lost the room and have next to no support from the broader rugby community. This will end badly for the ARU...

True TOCC. Also something many in rugby ignore was the super league wars opened up the ACT, QLD & NSW to both union and AFL. League lost a huge amount of its support base. As an example many inner city Souths fans switched to the Tahs. Super rugby kicked off when league was tearing itself...

FRom the same article. Deputy Premier Roger Cook, who is a foundation member of the Western Force, said he would “boycott” rugby. “I’ll never go to another Wallabies game for the rest of my life as a result of this decision. I’ve decided I’m going back to rugby league now in WA because the NRL...

But 10, 000 tickets not sold at say $ 70.00 per ticket is $ 700, 000 dollars that hurts .

What about say 10K or so Force fans in jumpers standing at the entrance but not going in.

Wonders aloud if the rugby centre will be given to the AFL or maybe used as a carrot to get the NRL to set up a team. I can't see it being left in the hands of WS Rugby.
