I cant wait to see a Hodge kick in the altitude. Having seen his kicks last year it could be scary.

Sounds good - I thought the prep school barrier would be easier to break through than what it is. In our area PSSA has alot to do with it so it is http://www.sports.det.nsw.edu.au/nswpssa/forms/index.htm that requires allot of research and what needs to be worked with. We have eagle tag, and...

Yeah John - it was great to see. I believe he will continue to impress, not a bad achievement 2014 out of the game through injury, playing 12 in 2015 and making sufficient impression to get a contract - and then be starting in round one. Really keen to see how Mexted goes this year - seemed to...

QH - I think we have the best product which is a plus, it is simply a case of introduction so people can enjoy and be aware.

Thoughts are the 1%ers - the most successful businesses value the 1%ers

I'd expect the business plans, targets, and returns to be different in each geographic area for the reasons you have stated below. I've only mentioned mini's in that example, I'd have a huge focus on the year 6, 7, 8 retention age group as well - and that is a different measure. I'd go one...

Interesting points there, what is odd and i haven't said before because i cant explain - you referenced pre 97, that's starting to get back to the amatuer days when the evil curse of money and professionalism wasn't as rife. Yeah back in the days -----------. Drummoyne Dirty Reds had 6 grades...

It is called working, and doing things well repeatedly, you then get results. You referenced Parramata - look at there achievements over the last circa 5 years. It was about 5 years ago they had about 100 points in them in 1st & 2nd grade - since then there numbers have grown, and there over...

You are not reading what i post - i have said repeatedly on this topic. "Do Nothing Get Nothing" That means there will be no funding if there are no results. Funding will only come with results. It is then called Reinvestment.

Do we operate with the same bank balance as AFL? If we do the ARU have definately let us down. If we don't we make use of the resources we have and reinvest as we grow.

Very relevant.

Still no ideas TWAS. My suggestion is to have funding of premier clubs directly related growing numbers of kids playing. I've shared an example of this in the decline of Junior Rugby thread - last 3 or so pages. I have taken an active rule in this, conducted allot of research, we have a...

I'd throw that in the bin as a business plan. SWOT, Who / What / How.

Dru fair. So Premier Clubs grow numbers. ARU gets a return because of Levies. Premier Clubs stay engaged and benefit because of players. Supporter numbers grow ARU benefits. Work out financial structure for this to happen, and there could be multiple wins. retaining the do nothing get nothing.

Given my recent efforts and research they are there, very helpful, but also very under resourced - there is the problem. So you find a solution and make it better. Given the time and effort AFL has laid bedrock that is hard to move, so lets work on building on top of the bedrock. Very under...

So now I'm lying - really. Instead of your continual rant about the Shute Shield as it is constant - why don't you spend some time researching, and then sharing ideas about growing and improving Grass Roots Australian rugby. It is rant rant rant.

What's interesting is a number of posters are seeking explanations, business plans with assumptions - or at least something that shows that the ARU is looking to invest and grow Australian Rugby - but I haven't seen anything. Not once have I referenced hand outs, I have said there should be...

On paper it's wow, KIS Keep It Simple Seriously who is going to execute it, it is simple we need to increase the number of juniors playing. Mini's - increase particitipation. Juniors - developlment Seniors - retention. Hearing from someone actively involved in Viva - didn't rate it. I'm...

Spot on. I haven't seen a business plan, or support that looks to grow the number of kids playing our game. At the moment AFL is ruling our junior school system and unfortunately the ARU has sat back and watched it happen. People say it is cash that allows the AFL to do that, maybe, what could...

I believe the the Premier Clubs are far more in touch with Grass Roots than the ARU - they are touching it and are involved in it. Again I say Premier Clubs, not SS - as per the name i gave this thread Australian Rugby / ARU. Australian Rugby is grass Roots. I believe ARU is sitting on a...
