A strong response which warrants a reply. I’m 38 and have played rugby for 31 of those. I’ve been involved in administration, recruitment, coaching and am a life member of the Tahs. I watch at least 2 Super Rugby games each weekend as well as most tests. My son is about to play for his local...

And the game just lurches from one severe crisis to the next. I’m not up for much more of this to be honest...

yeah I've been meaning to get an interstate one. 3600 sounds low. Didn't they get 10,000 last year? Only 10 weeks to go!

or Grimsby!

Reds at 18000. Anyone have an update re the other clubs?

My base understanding is that they signed a 2 year deal in 2012. When the Brumbies couldn’t get another sponsor at the start of 2014, the Uni signed a 1 year deal which finished at the end of this season. They’ve been looking for a sponsor for months and there was an article a while back...

Correct Mr Jarse I became a code warrior when my place of work started being invaded by non-NSW’ers... I had never felt the need to bag other codes until a lot of the Victorians started ( and to a lesser degree some mungos) carrying on. I had never witnessed code bashing first hand and was...

From David Hill himself..... For decades we have been witnessing a corrosion of Leagues traditional support base, which was historically strongest in the now declining blue collar work force. As part of the decline in the heartland we have seen the disappearance if foundations clubs like...

Just like loig in the upper and lower north shore - eaten by rugby, soccer and AFL. Dead as a dodo. D E A D.

Shaun Berne revenge? Pray tell....

grading is next year isnt it?

no matter how little money we have, I'd rather that than this every week... This stuff can no longer be defended by the mungo media as a small problem in the NRL, its endemic...

You are aware that the President of the ARU is a ceremonial role and ha decision making powers like a board member would???

I just posted a note on another thread regarding a full page story on the back page of the Manly Daily talking about a girl who had made the Australian women 7s team. She has decided to move from basketball and there was a full page photo of her in 7s kit with a Gilbert and made me realise that...

Was interesting to see on the back page of the Manly daily yesterday to see a full page spread of a young lass kitted out in Aus 7s kit holding a Gilbert. She had decided to quit Basketball for Rugby and was doing well. I thought it a fantastic advertisement for the game and is a telling sign as...

They originally came from the Illawarra comp and they'll do well back there with 3 grades plus colts being their only requirements.

Sydney subbies has moved to an amateur status. No doubt there has been a few clubs against it but there were are a lot of mismatches and player numbers declined as a result. Lets hope it results in more people playing purely amateur rugby.

Not that I’m deriving any pleasure from it, but to put the current financial malaise that is Australian Rugby into context, quite a few AFL clubs have released their financial reports for 2014 making for some big financial losses. ( granted their revenue is at least $40 million per club) but...

The Australian today mentioned that there may be 2 NRC games broadcast in 2015 This new TV deal is starting to grow teeth if everything plays out as reported.
