I get the feeling all our eggs are in the Super Rugby basket. Yet Super Rugby has been damaged badly by this I fear no plans are afoot between now and the next media deal to develop an alternative should it be needed. New CEO well he can't do any worse than the current one.

You join a long list. Tis sad when loyal servants like yourself feel so disenfranchised

I do and as I posted roughly a week ago, I am now a season ticket holder for the Mariners for the up coming season. Also the wife is a very keen fan and she tells me a lot from her experience as a school teacher. I see soccer in two ways, both showing how to do many things as 3 years ago we...

Yep. I have shown this phone vid before its Oct 2014, so two A-League seasons ago, and well before the current trouble times. Whats most scary for me in this 3 minute vid is not the crowd, its not the fact of how young the crowd is, nor that con-tree to popular theory soccer fans of...

I can assure you I had very little support and most through I was crazy. My reasons were simple, over time hidden away on subscription TV, not many teams to build from, 100+ year traditions cast aside, Murdoch, crazy hours in SA. I could never see Super Rugby growing rugby, simply as means to enough...

Recent converts to ideas of a new local competition and developing the famous Plan B, I think have under estimated the complexity of these ideas. More than most I have SCREAMED as loud as anyone and more than most to get out of Super Rugby, and from the late 90's [meaning I have been thinking about how...

This is a tribute song for the ARU Shows the current position they are in and where they are heading. Also arguably the mental age is mentioned in the tribute song. Enjoy

Most know I have been anti Super Rugby from around the late 90's, and by say 2005 was arguing Super Rugby was going to hurt us. Today while searching for some Australian sporting stats sites I came across a soccer site called ozfootball.net. I went into their library and saw a article about rugby and opened...

Confession Super Rugby has as I have indicated turned me off a lot recently and with the wife being into soccer I, sigh, cough, have a season ticket to the Mariners for this season. BTW interesting observation you made, re the A-League sides being beaten by the state leagues. In rugby we would be...

Tis interesting the direction this thread has taken recently i.e looking at legal arguments etc from the positions of various sides and at revenue. For me this also reflects the ARU in many ways as rugby has become more professional business concerns and objectives have or seem to have risen...

yer and the FFA Cup improvement in ratings on broadcast matches last encouraged Fox to start broadcasting early rounds with State based teams . Fox are happy reason 226 being local is important. Perth V Heidelberg 34 K came in 20th on the night on Fox. Blacktown City V Mariners 44 k came in...

Overseas in Vietnam 3 hour time difference if you must know.

NRL N Cricket seem to be in a shit right as well as us soccer could have FIFA called in The NRL is kept alive with TV money and 9 having paid so much along with News they have to keep the them afloat Would not worry to much about the NRL N Fiji Difference is the other fights are about...

Can't see that its been posted anywhere else. Sorry in advance if its been posted elsewhere. Clyde hints he will resign if we do not go to four Super Rugby teams...

HHHmmmm maybe, Sometimes to determine what the underlying causes are, you need a management team capable of thinking through the issue. Meaning you can cast blame at the performance of a management team at a subjective level on their performance level, even test key decisions against latter...

Just confirming this is not me using a different tag. I so much agree with this post. Dave what you can't see IMO, is Australians love to watch Australian teams play Australian teams. Beyond that I keep saying, screaming, pleading to have faith in the game. Its the structures we...

sigh remember it was like this and defence was not as good and sides did not have tackling coaches...

Question from a RL client of mine today. I gotta say it has thrown me and I had no answer. His question was. Can Union survive in anywhere near it current standing, if you have another year with so little direction? Over to the forum, what will we look like in 12 months if the next 12...

nay was begged and pleaded with. This allowed him directorial powers. Which his family is struggling to let go of today. He fired everyone, it was a burnt earth policy. He even insured the old Soccer Australia was sent bankrupt and his marketing campaign was Old Soccer / New Football.

Agree and this is part of a Fin Review last week and goes directly to your point. http://www.afr.com/real-estate/hk-firm-jiayuan-pledges-300m-for-aleague-stadium-20170714-gxb6e8 Hong Kong-listed real estate company Jiayuan has committed to spending $300 million on a purpose-built football...
