Its certainty not our darkest hour but of more worry to me even our brightest needs to improve to compete with other codes. I have taken the Wookie's spreadshett and listed in order from smallest to largest our FTA Capital City Ratings, and then Fox. The FTA average is 497K, I have not done...

I haven't blamed Pap for Pulvers neglect nay decades of neglect. What I have tried to explain in his role as the president of the biggest rugby and best known rugby club in the Northern Districts that receives heaps of positive media then his role in part should be growing the game. Not...

Not a member, but a regular attender of matches and live in the area. Amazing nay astonishing that the previous pres was worst, thats in large part why he got the gig. Maybe I put to much on Pap but if your metrics measurement is based on results then plus one. However the metrics I look at...

Just on Ratings. Last night the Timmy effect shown through, in the FFA Cup match between a Queensland State team and Melbourne City 64K watched. The NRC and the FFA Cup both a similar number of matches streamed although the FFA Cup has more on Fox. Gallop is a smart operator and shows the...

For all the complaints he makes his club sits next door to the Southern Hemisphere biggest research park, next or across the road to "The Middle of No Where" Macquarie University Training facility, yet the he has failed to stay connected to the town as the population demographics have changed...

TWAS Thats an excellent point about the state unions could not agree more. I often wonder in this day and age are they a part of middle management that is not needed anymore. I personally would be happy for the state unions to be disbanded and the role they plan passed onto the ARU. The...

Wookie Great stuff mate

Sydney High the past few years is normally flogged each match they makeup the numbers but contribute very little these days.

I think all those mentioned have put forwards ideas. Many of those ideas are not popular. This site and forums in general have a tendency to attack ideas they don’t agree with. My concerns reside around local park teams. People I am know who volunteer their time and often money will tell you...

I have never tried to hide the fact I am nowhere near as hard core as many on most rugby forums. I do believe it gives me an overview on what other codes are doing and how this can effect rugby. Today in Melbourne the AFL [by F they seem to be on top of everyone] anyway the AFL media [Herald...

Equally it does not mean he is totally wrong. There are many aspects of the NRC I like and many I don't. I also share the view it is still a long way from approaching perfect. In fact I don't know anyone who thinks it can solve most things. An issue for me is what I want the NRC to...

TWAS I have enormous respect for your indebt rugby knowledge, and knowledge of our history, and moreover you written ability is very good and you overall argue in a logical sense. Me my knowledge is mainly personal, i.e my experiences, further as I have said before my wife is a teacher and a...

Astute post Wamberal I would take it as stage further and have been banging on about this for years but I am often seen as being negative and over the top. As I posted above “Chickens coming home to Roost” is my version, as quick hands has very correctly stated the local park teams and state...

In all honesty we are the number four code in Australia and have been for some time. Every other code has gone to great lengths to develop their best and keep their best. Hand on heart as well in South Africa soccer is the game of the people whatever we may tell ourselves otherwise. I think...

Out of left field Ange Postecoglou maybe

Not the worst but certainty not good.

Sorry can't help myself. Sing along to the tune of play school. There's a chair in there and a bug as well With people that play With stories to tell Open wide, come inside Its Sydney

^^^^^ No Parramatta High

“She who must be obeyed” works as a teacher at a selective school in Parramatta. She and another teacher in a class caught some kids watching something on their phone today while they were supposed to be doing some class work. The investigated and I have put the link below of what they were...

My two cents worth would be to open a Australia wide competition including Super Rugby and SS teams. Say 100 entries across teh country. Broken down into regions and have either a knock out comp or some kind of competition to choose say the Sydney, the Newcastle region etc and then break it down to...
