Ho Ho Ho Tis Santa here, and I am going to grant three wishes. So lets have some wishes Santa is capable of delivering. Ho Ho Ho,Half what are your three wishes. Santa this is what I want for Christmas. 1] Saturday private school games moved to mid-week with local clubs having...

Prehaps I was a tad over the top with the word war. However assuming he does not have a point and that his friends like Alan Jones don't have influence is foolish. You may not agree with him and think he is useless but the SS is ln 7, Anyone who thinks he will go quietly into the night is...

WC The last post. and this is from my phone on a train. Sorry for spelling errors.

Workingclass Not sure were to start, let me try anyway. For the first time in my life I got interested in the US election from about 12 to 15 months out. I got caught up in the Sanders campain, and watched and listened to a lot if both left and right social media. What was totally clear was...

Gotta agree with the smh article. Just my opinion and contrary to most me thinks Popa Smurf has a point. He has not argued his case well in the public domain. The SS teams are a critical part of rugby, they have since the mid to late 90's been marginalized by the ARU. Its a world wide trend...

Wam I guess you are right, my question is he thinking about staying within the existing system or a new structure. I have almost stopped posting, and have made less than a handful over the last month or so. Having said that I do respect your opinions and thoughts. I have become somewhat...

Good advise and very much looking forward to what Barbarain is posting about the west.

Vexed question, in relation to participation rates and Rugbies growth in the future. The Olympics with the success of the women’s 7’s has had outstanding consequences. I have been pondering for a little while now how to take advantage of their success, while at the same time having a look at...

W This is just my observation aided by a experience so long ago when I was 17. I started work with the CBC bank and somehow found myself in the banks inter business house mid week competition. I was promoted well above both my knowledge and academic training. Today and for many years this...

If we have 770 clubs thats great it means kids have a place to go. The FFA Cup which is for all clubs in Australia has less than 770 teams playing in it. I don't doubt this is a published figure however it seems at odds with what my eyes and logic tell me. Back to the main point its a...

WCR What you say is obvious however its more like a motherhood statement in so much as the often talked of pathway. My understanding of the pathway is for the talented player to have the opportunity to develop skills but also move up the technical and ability, with an ultimate goal of local...

WCR I think you are over thinking this. Essentially a whole bunch of school kids have found an interest in Rugby. The trick is now to further engage with them this is why having park structures is vital . The Rugby field near our Epping home has only I think 4 all age teams, however two to...

Brilliant To all those involved we owe a big thank you and lets hope for their continued and greater success. May also take the smug look on many AFL officials faces.

Dru I like your analysis. You hit the nail on the head with your question, how do we survive the first say 4 to 5 years if we break from the Fox / SANDZZAR deal. Out of left field the broadcast platform for the subscription broadcaster does not matter who it is. Optus are chasing sport see...

SBS are also very close to Optus right now and if on SBS I am sure Optus would look at us. Good article about Optus from the fin review http://www.afr.com/business/media-a...ith-chief-executive-allen-lew-20161111-gsn6ni For Optus chief executive Allen Lew, the English Premier League is just...

So true. Its a matter of Fox allowing and that is were Pulver gets the big money to negotiate this. Pulver simply has to copy the arguments FFA made to get the A-League on SBS Just on SBS's current A-League ratings. Its fair to say SBS and FFA are at war the reasons are many, but started three...

Strew 120K is a very reasonable number. My point and unless you want and I can run through it SBS and soccer have had a major falling out. SBS have been forced to keep showing the A-League thats how bad it is. Like all FTA networks SBS want a major sport, once upon a time it was soccer...

I was away at a family reunion and did not see the SBS coverage. What was it like ?

Like WOW. I will and I suggest some other send SBS a thank you email and how much you enjoyed their coverage. This could be a new FTA home for us. Soccer is moving out they no longer like each other and SBS is on the lookout for a new sport. 120K that is a truly wonderful number. I am...
