I wrote this in frustration back in July 2008. It was written at the anger, I felt at those running rugby at the time were totally out of there depth in managing the media deals of the day and this had led to noisy park rugby folk like me almost being seen as an enemy of sorts. A good mate...

Dave All the ratings I find come from two main resources. https://twitter.com/MediaweekAUS http://www.tvtonight.com.au/ The tvtonight click on rating and scroll to the bottom for Fox top 20 ratings.

Reds V Rebels was 6, 931 at the end of the article. Also the previous week I think the Tahs reported over 18K at their match against the Blues, cough cough cough looked like 5 to 6 k max so maybe even these figures are inflated. My reasoning on the Tahs figure is because they would not move for...

Some concern on my part for posting or sorry copying the next bit. Especially as I have effectively walked away from Super Rugby and as many have gone back to watch park teams. Also my reasonably well know hhhhmmm cough cough dislike for the suits that decide how to the run the professional event...

Genuine question to those that would have a background in this area. My understanding is the ARU own the force. Meaning the ARU could terminate the current CEO to be replaced by a hand picked lawyer of their choosing. The ARU cut the Force. The new CEO accepts the decision and winds up...

Agree and,. Re a number of replies on the previous page, on my post where some posters where looking positively at the A-League model and I posted they are building from the bottom. Replies to it centred around the quality of the A-League and poor measurement tools on the NPL. I guess you guys...

Neither, FFA created what they called there National Premier League to sit below the A-League much like our NRC sits under Super Rugby. They then developed some rules to enter, with three major matters teams needed to met. These in brief, they had to run academies from U 9 thu to U 16 using...

The A-League example finally being analysed and recognised by some on the forum while others still express doubt about the model. Maybe its worth returning as the penny is starting to drop at last. Lets be very clear, the A-League is about to get a major bump. The planning and strategic...

wow 5,000 post from 5/3/17 in about 10 weeks 500 post a week.

No we don't we have a a rushed product in need of much TLC new teams and a different calendar. Let me compare, for starters comparing the A-League to the NRC is what many would call a long bow to draw. However at least your thinking about it. The question is what are we doing about it and...

Decided to read the thread an am amazed at how everyone is coming to the same conclusions I have been saying for years. Maybe there is hope after all. Twoilms post above well last nights ratings on Fox say nay SCREAM for a National Domestic Competition. Twoilms beaten by Scottish 5 division...

Just a drop in comment read this on the conversation its very interesting and has heaps of links its also also very long. Came off my self imposed ban to put this link up as the conversation is not a widely read outlet [if that is the correct term] Its talking about cricket but in also...

Lets finish on a positive personal story. Some forwards may not enjoy this and some may even suggest I was wrong. But in the half union I am sure my shop steward would support me. I confess to in this match being a ring in. A very good mate played for Smithfield Rugby. Anyway he needed to...

Given so many nice things said and posted to me I through I would add just two more post, one pertaining to this site and second a nice story to end of. Reds, Quick and other thank you very much for your kind words. Hang with me a bit over the next little bit. Hopefully the next couple of...

Just back or late Sunday from 3 weeks in the US on business and was away for all the decisions when they were made and have posted a couple of youtubes since I have been back and some rating stuff. I have forced myself to consider the call made by the ARU and my reaction. I acknowledge the...
