So annoyed we have a bye round one then an away game. It’s pathetic scheduling from rugby Australia

Did say the other week I had seen no advertising in Melbourne and boy I have been on the road a bit this week and I think I have seen 20 odd billboards. Absolutely nuts, would of liked Stan and the Rebels to work together so they could try and sell the club as well but the level of exposure is...

Yeah just don’t see it on the shirts they are getting their photos in

What happened with the main sponsor on the front of the shirt?

Gives us 7 seasons. The NRL is signed with Fox until 2027

But their test players also tour the south and then play against us on the spring tour, plus they compete in the European club championship or challenge cup and also play games for the Anglo welsh cup

Literally the furthest we will go in a Trans Tasman super rugby is Perth. Pro14 would cover more kms and have a 21 week season plus the other cups the the sides play in plus finals, the NRL is 24 weeks plus finals. There is not much travel in the new super rugby format

It’s all a load of shit just like all that altitude shit that multiple studies said was great year’s ago and now has been done away with. They always have a few weeks in camp before they start their spring tour. You talk about long haul travel and then bring up a flight to NZ hardly long haul...

I did hope they would run a few more TV adds. But I am very excited about the future with Stan

The rebels players will be going no further then NZ for most of the year. Travel is always just an excuse bought up when a side loses. Playing internationals is a different kettle of fish as you get there and get acclimatised train for a few weeks then play. Not like a regular season where you...

The travel factor is pretty overrated, Cam Smith is on the bird every other week and has clocked over 500 games. If we end up with 12 sides a 22 week comp works the best, if you have to manage loads that’s fine it provides opportunities for players to get a taste of the higher level and improve

Good to hear

The NRL has a 24 week season

But significantly shorter than the European season. We need a longer season to generate more income

It was 2-4 last year in the 6 games played, we can’t be afraid of playing the NZ sides. We will never close the gap by shying away from playing them

If we do to the 12 team comp as of next year it should be a 22 round season with a top 5

I drive and don’t take public transport probably why I haven’t seen them

Haven’t seen anything in Melbourne, nothing on TV, no bill boards and I don’t buy the paper so don’t know about that

It doesn’t a lot of metro and country clubs are struggling to keep their heads above water

Putting money into youth sport is where you get the benefits from
