Have you ever actually followed his social media accounts? He's never been shy on posting about his religious beliefs and for the most part no one has blinked and eyelid at it nor seen fit to pull him up on it. It has only been on these two occasions where he has consciously posted inflammatory...

Rumblings this week that SA Rugby are keen to add two more sides to the Pro 14 in the next round of expansion. Talk of the Pumas and Griquas according to those rumblings. Would be split into 4 pools with the Irish, Welsh and SA teams having their own pools and the Scots and Italian combined to...

I'm aware of that. More just answering in the nature it was posed.

And they have to respect the values we hold as well.

Australia is not those countries.

I'm not suggesting there won't be something at a level that can be considered professional but I just don't think it will a serious contender for some time. If ever.

True but at the same time as the ratings are suggesting participation or casual interest in a sport doesn't mean popularity. I'm not suggesting getting a game a week on FTA would return remarkable ratings but Soccer suffers from being a mediocre league in comparison with the elite leagues in the...

But the poor ratings aren't just confined to the 4 bottom sides. It's right across the board.

And we cannot get our game on FTA in at least some capacity, how? The A-League is tanking making our ratings look out of this world. If it does get what it wants and we don't get something then we're truly up the creek.

So the network they currently have a simulcast agreement with. Which has exactly been drawing in the big numbers for that game either.

Crowds are down averaging 8k and the viewing figures have been very poor for some time. So, you'd have to begin to think things are looking too rosy. Foxtel are currently trying to get out of paying an extra $7m a year for the inclusion of the two expansion sides thanks largely to the dramatic...

Seriously. I'd like to find out what the SS figures were for last weekend as there cannot be that much between them and the A-League at this point.

Nah. Through dumb luck your mob got her when she moved cross country after her bf got a job in Qld. She just had to sit out SW thanks to injury.

Honestly, our needs and wants have diverged so much in regards to anything below the Test match arena that we really should be looking at other options beyond Super Rugby at this point. Pity we cannot seem to mend the fences with GRR and look to find a Infront like opportunity to help fund an attempt at...

I don't understand the hand wringing over opening the player market. I actually think it could be a net positive for the competition. Imagine Australian teams being even more competitive to the point people start turning up and tuning in in greater numbers and then broadcasters deciding to pay...

They should start. They are still reporting the A-League after all.

Pretty sure it holds 1500.

The international game. What comes of it will come down to what the money is used for. I agree. But it shouldn't impact Super Rugby. In fact, I would hope it would be a catalyst for the likes of Super Rugby or at least the Aus contingent to start to look at running the competition as a proper going concern and...

Pity they won't have the gumption to do something about it. Super Rugby has needed to be run as an proper business for a very long time. Something RA is not set up nor capable of doing.

Yeah, that's quite possible.
