    Karmichael Hunt Stuff

    Been reading through reports of this case as well as Hunt's mate's Atalta owner Simon Michael Bou-Samra). If they're true Bou-Samara's case will almost certainly get dismissed on Wednesday as well. The alleged text (if true) wasn't from the night of the incident, and at least appears very...

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    Highest rating sport over the weekend was the women's Australian open golf with 107k on abc. You can see why cricket Australia is salivating at the thought of expanding into February. It's just dead out there at the moment. AFLx hasn't really worked, the women's game hasn't inspired like last...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    No idea where to put this but was watching the Saffa games & we really need to improve how rugby deals with highlights. (and to be fair, last weekends games weren't too bad). Typically it's:- 5 min clip has 30s of teams running out, a few crowd shots and the kickoff First try - 5 hitups from...

    Anyway, no conviction recorded despite the pleas Much different to George Smith or Higgers last year?

    Maybe just send him to a remote and poorly policed foreign location over the offseason

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    If anyone takes anything from the experiment, other than FIFA is popular on twitch.tv (average1 million viewers an hour), then they haven't thought this through

    Junior rugby based on weight classes

    I sincerely hope the ARU have nothing to do with this once the policy is set. There's about 4 unions between the poor kids and Rugby Australia - if they don't sort this stuff out what's the point of them?

    Just about everything about Super Rugby is odd!

    Reds 2018

    What happened between last last year when the Reds were on the verge of an ARU bailout and the end of the year when they can post a EBITDA profit of $800k?

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    AFLx topped the pay TV ratings last night with 82k. By all accounts a pretty rubbish spectacle but something to watch out for over this time of year

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    I would have thought with Twiggy's ambition and salaries then it will absolutely be a threat the existing Super Rugby teams, especially if you allow Wallaby eligibility. Even losing the 25th best player on a team list is going to hurt. Those sort of guys in Japan and Europe are why we have...

    Reds 2018

    I reckon that's his reputation, but in reality he has been a penalty magnet over the last few years who has been a bit of a liability in Ireland, for the Reds and Wallabies (with some notable exceptions around the world cup). Injuries have hurt

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    on average Australian Derbies outrate the other games but that's mostly a NSW and Qld thing. Games for those two against kiwi teams have generally outrated Force and Rebels games as an example (and of course there's various reasons for that including shithouse scheduling) Plus NZ and...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    looking at it holistically Braveheart, it would probably increase the quality of the competition, and also raise the interest in some of the other teams, which again might be good for us here longer term. The issues with this comp has always been where are they going to get the players, and is...

    Reds 2018

    TOCC meant as the crow flies. If you built a bridge directly adjacent to Vardon or Murray St, with a gate into the stadium it'd be well under 1km Doesn't solve any of the Wilston train station capacity or residents issues. And that's still a fair old walk for young kids/ancient rugby players...
