BOBS performed strongly in their 3 trials against Balmain on the weekend.

My theory is that there is simply too much sport on at the moment - it is ridiculous. All codes are down apparently and Fox sports are canibalising the codes at present.

The channel 7 podcast seems a bit more 'produced' but the camera work quality seems not quite as good as the ABC - but hey if it gets decent ratings and sponsors and channel 7 are happy then all good so far.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but not only are Gordon fielding 3 Colts teams today - which is the first time in a few years they have done so... They are also fielding an under 18s / 4th grade colts team AND a 5th grade vs Easts today. They have really turned the ship around and its...

Just had a squizz at the under 18 game between Manly and Parramatta at Bantry Bay Oval. My god Parra has some big boppers.... I really like the idea of this district based U18 comp as its such an important feeder for Colts and thus provides a steady flow of players into grade. Parra were up 7...

I had a quick squizz at Ticketek and ticket sales look strong for the first Force home game. We'll have a better idea later this week but a sellout wouldnt be off the cards if the weather holds and ticket sales continue. Good for rugby in WA.

Seaforth Raiders. U6 free. U7 - U14 - $150. The club has about 400 kids.

Enrolled my fella in one of the under 8s teams at our local club. 150 bucks for the season and Mrs crashy completed a paper form. No idea how much the club is losing (if any) but can't see droves leaving at that price especially as soccer last season was way more than that and was an ordinary...

Any idea how Newport are looking this year? Staying a bit quiet in the preseason. Have the Rats pinched any players?

Cmc markets have upgraded their sponsorship status to the sleeve sponsor for next 2 seasons. The tahs now have a full Jersey sponsorship locked away (including new sponsor Ricoh) as the new collar sponsor. Premierships do wonderful things for finances and I wonder what the jersey is no worth. I...

Tahs targeting 30,000 members this year. Surey they should get that shouldnt they? Last year was just shy of 20k.

Reds 20081 Rebels 3641 as a month ago.

Just became a paid up supporter member of the Rebels. I was born there and cant stand most things about Victoria until the Rebs came along. I feel part of the family for a modest $50!

Think Chubb has gone back to Hong Kong. Such a good name for a prop!

If you read the Western Force media release it sounds like there was a lot of 3rd party $ that got the deal over the line. I would imagine the ARU didnt have to pay for him to come back as he is contracted to Coca Cola and he'll simply get a match fee. Great result which I hope means larger...

From memory last year it was first in best dressed re what jersey number a sponsor received and the WA govt came in at the last minute and bought up all of the reserves jerseys. I actually think that despite the effort it takes RugbyWA to fill up 23 jerseys, its a really good way to connect with...

If the Badge comes back for next season, this could really be one of the many shots in the arm that Australian rugby needs. I would imagine the Force will see a spike in memberships and crowds and the media all want to interview him. He provides a wonderful honest type of publicity that is...

Magners as the sleeve sponsor seem to have fallen off. Did c markets only sponsor for the year? Seems like their sponsorships have been filled nicely as you would expect after winning the flag....

Having a read of the 2013 report, it looks like although the new financial year now ending at the end of October mean a 10 month year, they are predicting a surplus and a complete repayment of all debt. 2015 they have also predicted a $1 million surplus before depreciation. They however clearly...

You know what Braveheart - you could well be right. I'm in the same boat as you in that I've become far more interested than I probably should in the off-field aspects. Maybe its always been like this...The power of the internet and social media has made issues more pronounced than before.
