    Australian Rugby Development Centre

    How independent of each other are VRG and Eastwood? Presumably VRG are selling the land but do they then pass it straight through to Eastwood?

    Australian Rugby Development Centre

    Did they have a choice? It was built where those with the money wanted it built.....

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    There's a whole other long argument to be had there! but how often is "good shape" in accordance with the laws of the game?

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Think the FTA rights line up with foxsport's 5 year deal these days - so 2020. Ten buy the rights to games from Foxsports, and presumably don't have much in the way of additional costs, so they should be locked in.

    Waratahs v Highlanders trial - Thursday 16 February 2017

    Hopefully, he's learned the big lesson and Cheiks won't have anyone as poor at one-on-one tackles as DHP in the key defensive spot moving forward ;)

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Free to air channels continue to struggle after sevens profit downgrade last month Channel Ten results bloodbath Really hard to see what their play is here. They can't afford to spend big on sport, but they can't afford not to either.

    Does Mr Trump have a Betfair account ;)

    State of Origin Concept

    There was (and is) a choice. We could not play as much in the Euro/SA timezone, and play fewer test matches. It would mean we would have to pay our players less, and probably lose more of them to the other leagues, and probably be less successful than we are at international level.

    2017 TV ratings and crowd figures

    Are you doing away with TRC or EoYT? Or do you play the Champions League without test players?

    Playing surfaces and safety of players

    Pretty interesting - and I reckon the likes of AAMI park should certainly be invesdtigating. Still, after a bit of googling, it does seem like they haven't quite cracked the hot, sunny weather issue. :eek:

    Playing surfaces and safety of players

    Do the hybrid systems still have the surface temperature issues on hot days? Going to be an issue in Australia as a lot of stadiums are used year round (as we've just seen!)

    State of Origin Concept

    Reg posted a Qld born team and it was awful. Who you represented at open schoolboy level is the best of some bad options, and if you can't get the test players then don't bother

    Brisbane Global Rugby Tens

    There's got to be a fair chance that Duco do a swap, 9s to Brisbane, 10s to Auckland. Did the Qld gov kick in any funding? Might help to keep it at Suncorp.

    Refereeing decisions

    It's interesting because the laws don't seem to be able to handle the situation. But I reckon, strictly speaking, he's offside.

    Refereeing decisions

    Thought I'd chuck another interesting one up here from the Wellington 7s final https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwzpSTxDjc8#t=17m07s 17:07 in the vid Is SA #4 entitled to play the ball there?
