As some members of the board which made the decision to not to renew Ewen’s contract are still there, it would be pretty unlikely that he would be re-appointed or accept without significant changes to Tahs HQ. Besides, I would be wary of offering carte blanche to any incoming coach like the...

Aha! They did have a strategy. I just wasn't looking in the right place. Hope the Tahs and their sponsors enjoy seeing the team play in front of ever declining crowds. They will need the corporate $$$ next year as there will be only seven home games and the Crusaders won't be visiting to boost...

From my perspective, I would be interested to find out what the Tahs marketing strategy is. Is it to maintain the current (diminishing) supporter base or grow the supporter and playing base? There doesn't seem to be much happening. From memory, I have seen some banner ads on websites and some...

From the post Hurricanes press conference, one of the things they will be working on during the mid-season break is skills. Huh? What have they been doing all year? :confused: Yeah, doubt they would have all roles declared open to applications as a few people may be found wanting and come up...

Just watched the press conference post Hurricanes match. Pretty much the same stuff trotted out during the previous loss...learnings, focus, disappointment etc etc. :mad:

Unfortunately, the players are the face of the team and bear the brunt of the brick bats thrown the Tahs way. The Tahs are in a hole, but it could be worse…like the Reds pre-2010. I, like many others, would be very keen to hear what the board has to say for itself. The only time we, as fans...

liquor box, I don't have an answer for you other than the hope that the Tahs will one day (soon!) get their act together and bring the fans back to fill the SFS so that there is no need for the financial incentives provided by Homebush to make ends meet. Also, not sure what the financial...

No booing tonight...probably just a sense of resignation at what season 2012 has degenerated into. Good to see the numerous Hurricanes fans get some joy at least.

There is already plenty of displeasure from the fans about having two games per season out at Homebush. To move all games out there would be a tough sell to the dwindling number of Tahs supporters. I would say most regular Tahs fans would prefer to remain at the SFS.

Yeah, it didn't look like that many. Perhaps some were hiding undercover.

The crowd was 13,372 with plenty of Hurricanes fans making up that number. Take out the SFS members and you would be getting close to the 10,000 mark in terms of paid admissions. It's shaping up to be a financial disaster for the Tahs.

Yeah Gnostic, can’t really say that the Tahs have many drawcard players as alluded to in the article. They let arguably their biggest drawcard in Beale slip through their hands last year. A cleanout maybe what the Tahs need anyway. It’s a bit rich to have Gaffney and Carter be the scapegoats...

They must have a lot of stuff in their warehouse to clear if they are dragging the sale on for 30 days which would be no surprise if they are selling Wallabies socks for $50 a pair.

The [insert major sponsor] then team name doesn't just apply to the Wallabies. Also happens with the local Super franchises as well. I hope they pay a significant sum for the privilege. Is it an Australian phenomenon? Happens in the NRL and AFL as well.

It's the Tahs...there doesn't have to be any rhyme or reason! :D

Since the season is a write off, the remaining games should be to experiment with new combinations etc...eg B Foley at 10. What's happened to Greg Peterson? If he's fit, this would be an opportunity to give him some minutes off the bench at least.

The Tahs should head across the Gold Members car park and have a look at the Swans setup and what goes on there. They may not be a rugby team and not quite a dynasty, but at season's end, they invariably give a good account of themselves during the year. The "Bloods culture" would be a worthy...

IIRR, the Scotland Test was announced months ago. So why did it take so long for the negotiations to be completed? So long that Nine could conveniently say that it wouldn’t be able to get approval to show the Scotland Test on Go or GEM. Besides, if the Scotland Test wasn’t part of the original...

I recall the Tahs were set up in a separate entity to allow for other investors to own a slice of the Tahs should private ownership ever eventuate.

The NSWRU is likely to own 100% of the equity in NSW Waratahs Ltd.
