An NRC featuring contracted players, and club comps running in the background and as curtain raisers where convenient would be a very good outcome in the second half of the year, and a big opportunity to test the market.

They might be the hardest hit of the lot, hence the panic to get a half arsed comp going.

Reads like it was a mutual decision given he’s stuck in NZ indefinitely

True, but it’s Fairfax saying it this time, not News.

Just going to drop this here. https://www.rugbypass.com/news/rwc-winning-wallaby-coachs-radical-wrecking-ball-suggestions-for-saving-rugby-in-australia/

I was at that game. Most punters blamed Campo but Campo blamed Marto. Funnily enough the thing I remember most about that game was Scott Gourley playing out of his skin, he was 20 I think. I was a 20yo loosie too so perhaps I was just watching him in envy.

I actually heard tomorrow.

I thought he was actually very composed when he did that. Not using it as argument for a CEO role, but it was excellent at the time.

Agreement on the second point. As to the first, his up yours to Fitzpatrick comes to mind.

I don’t know but you need to read my post on the previous page.

This isn’t. But evidently there is shit going down that is.

The Aus - yes I know it’s also Newscorp - via Jessica Halloran is elaborating on this story this morning but only citing Kearns as a ‘possible’ replacement. It seems the 3 new board members want a ‘new perspective’ for the game and RUPA aren’t happy with the handling of the recent events. As...

I can’t see QANTAS sponsoring anything in the short term. What RA will need is a financier as it’s sponsor. I could envisage a rugby mad wealthy fund manager like David Paradice or Hamish Douglas getting involved. Douglas has already shown an interest to sponsor sport with the cricket but...

Well at least the autumn racing carnival powers on for another week. Channel 7 will bolt in the Saturday ratings and a few old betting accounts will come out of hibernation I’d say.

A scrum clock is something that absolutely should happen. It won’t though until it’s seen as advantageous to the home nations.

Single sculling, kayaking and single handed sailing are 3 sports that might get a sudden lift in participation rate

I doubt it if the model that is allowing the NRL, AFL and racing here to continue are valid examples. There would be more than 100 participants on site but they are spread far enough apart to satisfy the outdoor criteria, hence they could presumably go up to 500. They should do a lucky dip each...

Also did mine stating the same but added I need NSW horse racing as well.

That’s his inference I think!

The NRL is in fantasyland thinking they are going to keep the comp going. Saying things like moving the whole comp to North Queensland, isolating every player, asking for a govt handout, etc reeks of panic. The clubs’ pokies revenue will disappear too, this situation is much more dire for...
