Yep JON spent on average $3m more than he generated every year. The independent directors told Pulver to sort this out and as a result he's stripped the equivalent of $8-$10m out of general expenditure relative to earnings every year. Some of that has been given back to the Super teams...

If you're looking to get paid while you make the journey Get an education degree, get a job at a private school, give up your evenings and weekends for a while and work your way up to successful first XV coach, rest is networking your way up through your state unions ranks. If you don't want to...

Why was the SRU ever affiliated with the national body and not the NSWRU? Did it allow those direct grants etc in the past? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Isn't the more interesting question, from a viability point anyway, ia why Rocky is willing to buy? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Not sure if you guys are serious? AFL clubs make serious money from pokies http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/afl-clubs-pokies-profits-climb-to-record-105-million/news-story/8d87c5f8d3756ba2164af8c73481bed5 Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Nah, pokies

That's what I thought too. For the love of the game? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Is Clyne even getting paid? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

I was trying to think of a genuinnely professional team sport that has a mature level of international competition where Australian teams are innovative and sustaibly successful. In short, a model for our rugby setup Cricket is as close as I got. Pat Howard's domain. But I don't rate our...

Playing after a SA to London flight is far far less onerous than the flight out here. Plus they get to catch up with all of their mates in the UK and put their wares on show for the pound payday The players are going to have to do one or the other. I reckon they'll be jumping over themselves on...

How would you even know if AFL coaches are doing a good job collectively? If our Rugby teams never had to play anyone else and we never saw the NZ/etc teams our coaches would probably look pretty competant too Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Werent they bitching because 2/3 of their opposition are on the other a side of the world v 1/3 for us. Under this setup the games are in the right timezone . No jetlag, good tv time. Much better for for them really. If it works it's the beginning of the end for Super Rugby Sent from my...

How many members does it take to call an EGM?

Fairly convenient position to be taking these days Greg..... http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/waratahs/cut-western-force-and-give-sydney-a-second-super-rugby-team-says-outgoing-waratahs-ceo-greg-harris-20160311-gngtuu.html

Don't see how you can make that assumption at all. The Rebels are paying their bills and putting a team out on the field. Not winning too many games but not disgracing themselves either. What's the possible material breach? Losing the Rebels isn't the ARU's first choice - it's just the easiest...

Are the Rebels performing appallingly or not complying with core policies or KPIs?

Someone's got to make up the difference between what it costs to be competitive and what a super rugby team generates. The more private owners taking on that burden the more that can be spent on grass roots/Izzy/champers/first class tickets. In theory anyway Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk
