Ratings will be up this year, but how much is real, and how much is just not having 9:30pm WA games on the books remains to be seen

Are non-super rugby NRC players even contracted?

And 61k for Highlanders v Blues They aren't terrific numbers but not too bad. A-league did 26k on at the same time

Roach was standing at reciever (half back) and entered the lineout to catch the ball. The lineout isn't over and the ball doesn't cross the 15m line so Hooper can't be in the position he is to secure the ruck (he's the first Tah there by almost 10m) Having said that - it's never penalised -...

Hooper has to be 10m away from the lineout until it's over

Look where Hooper is when Roach catches it (still in the lineout). He has to be 10m back from the line

Inevitably for the over the back lineout - Hooper was a mile offside. Secured the breakdown too

That last lineout was criminal! What a coach killer

As a little excrsise, I rewatched the first 10 minutes of the Reds v Rebels game. First game of the year, we have some clear air with no AFL and only an exhibition game of NRL The first 10 minutes of game time, which took 13 minutes in real life ended after the Rebs missed the penalty after...

It's not this country in particular - quality of South African teams have disappeared at the same time. 50-100 super rugby quality players in other competitions will do that, especially with our depth. For South Africa the OS numbers are even worse Why hasn't it happened to NZ?

the main source of income for financially solvent Super Rugby teams has been sponsorship - where the rebels and force really struggled over the years. The Reds make $2 million+ net from Matchday even recently though, and up to $4m for the good years, which is getting pretty close to the TV numbers

10,021 in Melbourne for game 1 Rebels v Reds last night

If Genia stayed on the park after 55 minutes the rebs would have put 70 points on the Reds. He was pulling all of the strings out there

You (and the ref) must be looking at a different GMG to me Foul play regulations have this

Think we're going to have to find a replacement for Higgers and Tui next week, and probably the week after too

Thorn wanted to cut back on stupid cards and poor defence

I reckon the shoulder charge to the head was enough for a red card on its own. But even if you don't there was another yellow card in the same tackle with the kneck roll to bring him to the ground.

Kerevi hasn't made a dramatic improvement in his defence over the off season has he?

Class above everyone else out there though
