I been their for 18 years.

I assume this is true and if so the board should step down IMO... http://www.northweststar.com.au/story/4535959/not-so-super-blow-up-18-team-model-and-start-over-says-consultant/ An 18-team Super Rugby should never have gone ahead and needs to be blown up and rebuilt - on Australia's terms...

Below is a email link to contact the ARU. Maybe a few thousand emails could help. http://www.rugby.com.au/contact-us

The A-League structure as a model has many parts to its make up. Not the least is a far greater separation of powers between the various stakeholder groups. Today FFA who IMO have done an amazing job to date are being lampooned by key stakeholders for if you like sitting on their hands and not...

A scary way of reading that, is has the SA team going been named meaning two other sides not from SA are to go. Does it in a coded way say two Australian teams to go. Given the SA rating and the Australian rating I always wondered if cutting two SA teams would be achievable.

Most are aware I want more teams not less. I feel quite strange, reading posts on who should be in who should be out, how horrible the ARU are. Its kinda a surreal feeling. I can't believe the ARU is so close to cutting a side. I actually never through it would come to this. Part of me...

“When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.” ―Malcolm Forbes

I am reminded of the old saying "Its always darkest before the dawn" Do I have faith in the ARU board to do the right thing by Australian rugby? Do I trust NZ admins to create and manage and advise Australia and South Africa on what to do? Do I trust the SA government to support rugby...

I do wonder aloud if we could be the odd man out in the discussions. All other countries have national domestic competitions and want to play international sides as they already play each other in their NDC. We want Super Rugby to be our de-facto NDC. Logic says they are right and logic also says...

This is a couple of years old now and its about AFL in Melbourne. What is clear is both soccer and basketball are growing in numbers and the more physical games are losing players. As well as an overall fall in total numbers of players Australia wide. The recent Knights case about the duty...

Worth watching Star Wars cartoon mock of the Death Star blowing up. Could this be the S board meeting.

It’s way too early to make panic calls. However the trend is not our friend after two rounds. We should have a better idea after round 4, but TWIS is not looking good. However considering the big pow-wow when the Australian cough cough leaders go into crisis talks one wonders aloud should we...

Justice delayed is considered injustice. We can only delay key decisions for so long, as implantation and talks with stakeholders outside rugby, ie broadcast partners, sponsors, players union etc all need to be on board, and takes time. Both Flower and Pulver rushed their versions of the NRC...

This has been my argument for maybe 40 years. Super Rugby even when it started was a media company creation which we grabbed it in panic over league. For the love of Mary we have placed our fate in Australia in the hands of a subscription media company. Quick you asked what can we do to fix / help...

I think its a tad early to make a judgement call. Lets start to worry if after 4 rounds the ratings are crowds are down a lot. The bigger concern for me is overseas ratings, if SA and European ratings fall it could effect revenue badly. As hard as it is, our rating while important don't...

Read that article today and it screamed to me how Rugby, League and AFL are at getting funds out of government pointing to in many ways connections and I guess influence. What screamed more was how Netball was yelling what about us look at our player numbers and the graph showed soccer had...
