Because the South West is the major growth corridor in the city. There's opportunity to grow with it. I'm not dismissing the West. Just re-orientating under which banner it will fall. As for the club. I have only suggested a greenfield club. They could take an existing club in which to build around.

If they were to bring in another club hopefully they look at the South-West of the city. Let Eastwood have the North West and Parramatta everywhere in between the the two. It may need to be essentially a greenfields club but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Place it in a high growth area...

Will be interesting. They certainly are pricing it competitively in order to get as many through the gates as possible.

Rebels playing just terribly footy. Really aimless. Fortunately the Jags offer very little in attack.

Rebels playing some really just dumb Rugby at present.

That's the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing time and time again but expecting different results.

It also mentions a CBS All Access app. Which is exactly part of the deal MLR has with them. Another opportunity for Rugby.

I hate that you have to select multiple packages in order to get the one you actually want. And I think it's something that has really hurt pay platforms here until the arrival of Netflix etc. If they launch Fox Sports as a standalone I'll have it from day one. And I suspect they'll see a huge...

And if HBO ever decided to launch their streaming platform here. That would be the end of it.

And interestingly enough. CBS are the primary broadcast partner of MLR.

And there's options available in regards to our big stars as well. We could look to establish similar relationships with AP and Top 14 clubs to that the NZRU has with the Quins. With conditions of course. Strict conditions.

We are run as an amateur game and we allow far too much influence from certain elements of that. Which is why we are in the state we are in. It is also the reason why we will continue to slip further and further into the realms of irrelevance. We need a complete reorientation of how we run the...

Ha. That bit was taken directly from someone connected to the league.

It's $55m a year. And they aren't splitting that four ways. It goes toward the overall operation of the Union. They receive a share.

The game is not run as a business. At all. Particularly the professional wing. And that needs to change. The whole orientation of how it operates needs to shift to one where we need to need much more robust commercial perspective. From the bottom up. grassroots development and all. We need to...

Yep. It may not even need to be all that much of a departure from the current entities. The IPRC (I hate the World Series Rugby name) could be a solid alternative. Ideal timezones, more local content, more opportunity for local players and a move into a developing market with huge economic...

I know you know that the NRC has reverted back to the current scoring system. And outside of a few minor tweaks such as the lineout runs under the current laws as well.

The problem with the revenue the competition generates is 1) it's minimal and 2) has meant admin after admin have been rather lazy when it comes to actually develop our domestic market share. A market that with the right product on offer traditionally has paid goo money for content. Certainly...

That's how I see it. Two teams for both NSW and QLD. I'd like to keep the Country's but I do get your point. A solution to that would in effect for them to select a base to play out of. Somewhere like Wollongong or such in NSW and say the Sunshine Coast in Qld.

That would be an interesting model to see established.
