    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    You don't need that level of facility to run junior coaching course. Again its ARU not team driven. This may seem a strange issue to raise but the AFL have a lot of team based training facilities and today so does league, Penrith have a 40 million dollar facility. Even soccer is developing via...

    ^^^^^^ to some of the posts above .. In the following post please ignore Popa Smurf and his recent comments, its totally outside the purpose of the post, and arguably I am looking back many years. There is an old business adage that says why waste money, and if you need to spend money why...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    We need more of these, the costs seems relative not sure what level the 4 day course does represent. Clearly this is not a bad thing and clearly its part of the overall answer. My concern is when we have resources like TGM why cant we do this over say four weekends for a much cheaper course...

    The Roar had an article today over 683 comments when I read it. Its from Spiro and its quite long but the little bit that stood out for me was the following and I wonder aloud if its right. http://www.theroar.com.au/2016/10/24/rogue-cheika-tarnishes-wallabies I do wonder if NZ turned its...

    Tier 3.5 - An Alternative NRC

    Could not agree more. I am angry, mad as hell at being constantly out managed by the other codes. The broad room battles we come in last once upon it was soccer but for a long while its us A recent example and I fully understand rugby cannot copy this because of soccer's player base. But from...

    Tier 3.5 - An Alternative NRC

    We are obviously light years apart in our views. Popworth and Poidevin represent those of us who are not content with the current position of dying a slow death and being told how lucky we are to have a media management company tell us how to run our game in Australia. Am I angry, yep, angry...

    Tier 3.5 - An Alternative NRC

    Choosing words as carefully as I can. I posted way way back on page 49 I would sign out for a while as my views were well known and restating them seemed pointless especially when most disagreed. I have read with interest on both this site and the Roar [450 + comments]. The general consensus...

    Pifzy, cheap, playing the man, and I never said or even hinted ruined. Omar & Barbarian I hope you are right. Also the way things stand my hopes have somewhere between little and no chance of seeing the light of day. As I posted above my thoughts are well known and simply repeating them is...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Omar, good questions, my answer to the first is simple leave it too late and there will be no room us to develop a National Domestic Competition in the future. Your analysis is 100% correct. On a new national domestic competition, as it stands the NRC would fall over in a heap up against the...

    Bingo The AFL and NRL have 200 local games, the A-League soon will have about 230 local games. We have about 20. Offsiders on the weekend made the point how soccer has evolved from being reliant on the Socceroos to the A-League being the main game. I sign off for a while now as I am...

    Before you read this post say to yourself and repeat it a few times. Super Rugby rates slightly more than the A-League. Then say we have only 5 teams. This post will be either right or wrong but we will know within 4 weeks. If you recall I have a client with a small media company. He told me this...

    Rugby League players who could have/could make the switch

    Agree it actually shows great moral strength to go against the crowd and retain relationships under pressure. Not so sure it all comes down to what the F on the armband meant. Some say it meant Free, but if you listen to him talk it does not mean Free. I heard the F stood for Forgive...

    True But FFA have made it very clear the A-League is far more important to them their national teams in terms of building and growing their game. Huge rumour from She Who Must Be Obeyed is next season the A-League will be 12 teams. Bragging rights about national teams, I am unsure if that...
