I see Clyne is quoted, no mention of Billy P, who seems to have gone the way of Huge Arse on these boards...... Bill are u ok?

Poor analogy. Supporting league in a league town can't be compared to following rugby without a team in AFL obsessed Melbourne. A better analogy might have been the league teams in Perth or Adelaide, bit hard to support League in those cities.

What if the comp the Woodies were in,was disbanded? But hard to support your team if it didn't exist.

No carpet bombing like Vietnam. More like smart bombs, targeted to minimise collateral damage:)

It's the emporers new clothes.... They are in the Tahs squad,so they must be better than what we've got.... They are not being judged on what they do, but on who has previously signed them.

^^^^that destroys the Friend apologists view, that our under performance this year is satisfactory due to squad changeover,and injuries. We weren't just beaten, we were flogged by a side with 5 debutants for this week,not this year. FFS we struggle to beat Russia.....

Presumably, he will pursuing other opportunities in the short term,based on the performance of each of these squads....

I'm not sure about promotion/relegation. I think the gap has widened, and I'm not in favour of a 10 team comp, cos the west is clearly going to wear the brunt of that decision. We should be spending money out there, not eliminating them IMO

What we deduce, is that Super footy has had its time. These full time pros are attracting less spectators to the game, and less viewers than some of the amateur club games. It's time to re invent or we will surely die. Continuing to do,what we have always done, is not a satisfactory vision for...

I was under the impression that $2M loss was a best case scenario? In any event $2M is not chump change that can easily dismissed as money well spent on a hobby. Having turnover of $100M is vastly different to having a business that has $100M excess cash flow. It really annoys me when people...

Every year people complain about this. It's ridiculous that they don't announce the squads the day they are selected.

That's an observation about form,not style.

Not much point even being nominated if you wear the wrong socks at the trial. Not all trialists are treated equally. But the stats will say that each club had X amount of players that were looked at...

Fact check St. Leonards is on the north shore of Sydney, nowhere near Melbourne.....

Whose going to be surprised that when this is all over,Cox is quoted as saying "you only get one Bill Pulver in your life"....

Yeah I get that. But if McQueen is stale bread, how do you describe Dwyer?

with a non disparagement clause :)

Billy P has all the bad characteristics of both David Brent & Jim Hacker.... That's assuming he's still with the organisation, when's the last time he's been heard from?

ARU logic, "We didn't invite them cos they would want to be heard, which is understandable given their past successes, so we invited some other guys instead....."

You are comparing a newly established third tier comp that has 7 rounds with a comp that has 27 rounds that almost imploded several times before reaching this current level of fan engagement. If the Super comp was not in existence, and the NRC as the premier Rugby comp in the nation,had been...
