Them getting the crap kicked out of them week in, week out certainly isn't helping. They would be better advised to take the limited resources they are currently wasting and instead look to develop more clubs in the region of the city.

I agree on the Emu's. I think they'd be better stepping back while looking to develop the club as a really strong subbies competitor.

You could achieve the same by building out the existing structures. Such as the RC. By pushing to include Japan in the competition. Which in terms of path of least resistance is what Silver Lake would likely do.

Okay. So this is where we divulge a little here. I don't believe it's the role of subbies clubs to look to become HP entities. I see them as vessels for participation and community engagement. Every subbies club should be looking to become what I refer to as complete clubs. Where by boys and...

These are not the same.

Think so. But the projections are all still pointing fairly strongly toward growth. And developers are certainly betting on it.

Yeah, they are. Perhaps not Soldier Field not in the short term but they would be able to do it. Look at the USA. They have a small but growing professional league. Which has 37 nationally broadcast games across CBS and Fox Sports. They've signed two blue chip sponsorship deals in American...

And I'm sure that would be looked at.

So would I but I suspect that its inevitable. In my neck of the woods the population has grown 74% in the last decade and is set to do at least that in the next 10 years. Not to mention Badgery's Creek and Bradfield development 20 minutes up the road. Leppington just south of that. Menangle...

Arguably yes. But how to do ensure you get both? By signing our closest and fiercest rivals first. You sign NZ for $326m USD and then it makes a similar acquisition here easier (not guaranteed but easier) as in theory both countries want to maintain easy relations in order to compete. Especially...

That's not the point. The point is the ABs were able to sell out an NFL stadium for a game that featured the national team as the curtain raiser.

I think we may find that the driving of the product internationally will fall into the hands of Silverlake. That's where the growth is. I would doubt this would be their only Rugby play but much like CVC with the English Premiership. Just their first. AS above the easiest way of seeing a return...

CVC, KKR and Silverlake have all been mentioned since the PE option came about. And of course Forrest.

That'd be key. What will the profit share arrangement be. I suspect they may be looking to grow the AB brand into the likes of Japan and Nth America alongside the growth of MLR there. Which kind of raises the question of what our PE talks will look like as you'd imagine that the easiest way to...

I doubt Silverlake are looking to NZ to find their ROI.

Bunnings cup.

Wait. You've been able to buy property in Sydney!!!

Probably made easier by there being no fighters union and a small number of star names dominating the earnings.

Depending on how it's managed.

Nothing on development either.
