    SRU gets the gate. Norths get the catering & bar takings is my understanding.

    Wallabies v All Blacks Saturday 26th August at Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin

    Just read the last page and thought I was on last weeks thread. We were leading the game at 78 minute mark, the doom and gloom overstates our deficiencies tonight. after last week I'm actually pretty chuffed with tonight's performance.

    Shute Shield Grand Final on FTA. Not only in NSW/ACT.

    Ok, so that's two of you with no understanding of the concept of advantage. You shouldn't referee at a higher level either :)

    Shute Shield Grand Final on FTA. Not only in NSW/ACT.

    Two things Feltch tries to catch a mid field kick drops it forward 10 metres, Norths 15 thinks they have advantage, does a shit chip kick rats intercept it and score. Huge game changer. Norths replacement 9 gets a head knock, Gardner says he saw him unconscious,then puts the onus on the trainer...

    Shute Shield 2017

    I reckon SS is filling a void, people have turned off the top 2 tiers, and are looking for something to support. Happily, it turns out that it's entirely watchable :) As an aside, does anyone know what has become of the secret that is the Catchpole medal?

    Waratahs 2018

    I think there's a bit of rewriting history here. The Tahs guy might have made some crack about him making it by 23, but Souths offered him a real contract for real money, something that our code simply can't compete with.Thats why he signed with them. We can't bag them for picking winners at...

    Shute Shield 2017

    Harry Jones wasn't even the best winger in his own house last year, and the Tahs say they signed him on his SS performances. This year when he's absolutely on fire, they let him go. Sums it up to me.

    Let's just pretend that the ARU had acted in an above board manner,, with a professional, transparent process that clearly indicated that on merit, the Force should go. Now that they have riled a billionaire who's making it personal, and a state government that sees votes in destroying them...

    I hope someone has installed a camera crew at ARU HQ, & over the west to cover the shennanagins, has the makings of a blockbuster fly on the wall type docu drama!

    Wallabies v All Blacks, Saturday 19th August, ANZ Stadium Sydney

    It's a good indicator of what stage of his tenure he's in. In early days, they are more than happy to identify areas of weakness with a determination to improve those areas. Also happy to have handshake agreements. When the writing is on the wall, they only want to talk up any positives they...

    Centralise the common functions of the super franchises. Stop the ad hoc bailing out of franchises by properly overseeing how they spend the money the ARU gives them. That's probably $5M a year. That's a good start without changing a thing.

    I can see it now, we are all on a bus, and it's being driven straight towards a cliff with certain death for all onboard. You're standing in the aisle insisting everyone keeps their seat belts on,for their own safety.......

    There was never a time for a meeting. This process has always been about the path of least resistance. Once the Force realised this, the tactic had to be that the ARU knew immediately that this path was not going to be easy, and was covered in spiders for them. Pulver is a consensus, clip the...

    Your too kind. He wasn't being clueless, the best interpretion is that he was disingenuous. even an incompetent leader would know what each if the codes spend on grassroots.

    Haha, it's a bit like sitting on the hill 80 metres from where the scrum collapsed,knowing that the ref who is only 5 metres away,and much more qualified to rule than you,has clearly fucked it up :)

    You don't see that the argument has now narrowed over the definition of new? I agree with your point that there are enough common points in the original & 'revised' agreements,that common sense says it's not new. But unfortunately common sense quite often is not a feature of the legal system.
