    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    The world is hardly ever fair but how hard you work at something and face your problems, consult with stakeholders, admit errors, search for solutions will make it fairer for you. I bemoan and am sadden whilst annoyed at our levels of miss management especially as rebeltah has posted above...

    Questions for James O'Connor

    Always a shame to see someone unable to handle life and I think quite soon his life will become much harder when his talent no longer provides the income he needs. Happens in all walks of life some people's make up is such that they finish up in heaps of trouble. I am reminded years ago I was...

    Does anyone have details of revenue streams. My very limited understanding is our current media deal is 56 million, broken down to overseas sales 30 million with Super Rugby & Tri Nations 26 million. Further and just what I have read is European ratings are down meaning the 30 million may not be that...

    I don't think things are a bad as poster like me sometimes portray nor do I think they are as rosy as some post. My starting point would be to bring the various waring tribes together. My fears are twofold, first we are being swamped by an explosion of activity by other codes and COULD if we...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Just on the Lowy thing be careful what you wish for. It was not as clear cut as some make out. Soccer went broke, SBS approached the government for help, and John Howard essentially said find the right person and we will help. Johnny Warren begged Lowy to take over and with Warren’s...

    2017 TV ratings and crowd figures

    Maybe from a few years ago, I went to Wookie’s site and he listed 79 games as having recorded ratings, the assumption is the others did not rate high enough to be listed in that they have to fall into the top 20 and many overseas games get low numbers. However based on my count this is the...

    Old Hobby horse for me. Super Rugby is broken, we seem now to agree on this. Therefore to continue to be involved in Super Rugby is kinda !@#$#@! Our metrics everywhere are down. There will come a point and its medium term now I’ll say within 8 to 10 years when rugby will reach a point of those outside...

    Mate in 1996, league was near dead after the Super league wars, AFL was recovering and rebuilding from a rare bout of poor management, soccer was in its death throws, there was no BBL, no super V8’s, Basketball was in decline from its glory time, Netball as a national competition was not even an...

    Read this in the fin review and was gob smacked, and said to myself they can't be serious. Then started to think, it has plenty of issues however it does solve or to some extent the money side of things. This is totally out of left field. I doubt it will be used but it certainty is an...

    Australian Rugby Development Centre

    As a junior coach at Epping rugby and Epping cricket I was always led to believe the grounds at TGM if ever not used for rugby where to be returned to the family. Meaning if it is true that Eastwood are selling the grounds i wonder aloud who will get most of the funds or does anyone have...
