    I have no idea how to do this and what it entails as I have never given it any consideration. But now. How are the ARU board members elected, is it via the state unions, and if so how are the state union boards made up. Is it worth running well hmmmm a sorta people's team to run the ARU.

    Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men? It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand...

    Reds Happy Excellent post, I will go behind your comments and add just a little. Since the late 90's I have been calling warnings on over reading our position. Soccer was on its death bed, League in tatters after the super league war, and AFL coming off a rare period of poor management...

    Can I get this either confirmed or told I am way off the mark. The urgency in the London meeting was caused by broadcasters concerns pertaining to falling ratings, especially in SA & Europe. If this is correct, how do we in effect lift the ratings? The assumption seems to be by making...

    You left a few things out ... line marking is some parks where difficult to read... I have heard reports some game balls where either pumped to hard and in some cases not pumped enough and where to soft. Both made kicking and ball control difficult. Another Climate Change all down to him...

    Open question to all I would start a thread on this but am not allowed. Should Pulver step aside, and some on the board. Under his stewardship we have seen. Things we mostly agree on. 1] Massive fall in player numbers if media reports are correct. 2] Huge fall in crowds at Super Rugby matches. 3]...

    I would add soccer as well. Perth Glory are rebuilding their brand, we [rugby] will assist them a lot by dropping the Force.

    Disagree the biggest by far impediment was a crazy belief the Super Rugby would work and people should stop posting such rubbish. As if the bubble that was Super Rugby did not need to react to other codes expanding around them. Remember I kept asking to prepare and if Super Rugby fell apart we would be ready. I have...

    I hate to say I told you so. But I have been arguing this for maybe two years or more on this forum, mostly to negative responses. Not saying this is simple but to repeat my long argued belief. The ARU needs to gather all our stakeholders and develop a inclusive and acceptable to all...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Strew Sorry just cannot agree. The ARU talks of lesson plans. Ask any teacher and the difference between the two is vast. To compare the two as being equal is akin to saying the Wicks first 15 is equal to the AB's first 15. The ARU is similar to Hockey, Swimming etc. Its more like a...

    ^^^^^ Quick, if I may refer you to your excellent post above 1381, where you explained the lack of local park teams, and teachers able and willing to coach. The premise of your post is we are in a downward spiral and essentially fucked as their is nothing we can do. I refer you back to my...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    ^^^^^^^Its just I see this kinda thing all the time. FFA and their state associations do it and so well. We all should be demanding the ARU match this effort. That bit where they actually wrote a Football program in such a way its part of the school system just blew me away its worth coping...

    Gnostic If it was only pessimists and naysayers I would not have often been so angry, as they exist everywhere. I found total dismissal, often delusional beliefs of our strength and laughed at weakness of others. Very often I found people who believed a certain paradigm seemed to me went...
