OK, you thought that in the very first year,without any support or advertising, these artificial sides would miraculously inherit rusted on supporters? Before they had scored a point or won a game? Please, give me an example where this business model has worked previously?

Because we all know, that if you have no athletic ability. and absolutely no idea how the ball can beat the man, and you are the last picked in any event. You have no other choice but to be a forward. There is a huge correlation between forwards and bullshitters. eg the incumbent PM is not...

To be fair to Link,I assume the assistants that ARU appointed in their wisdom,have valid contracts. The CEO might not be prepared to allow Link to recruit replacements, until the incumbents contracts expire. Not sure if that would mark any difference at all ATM.

I hope you are right. If the Woodies are worth $25M, $850k doesn't seem too much of a stretch does it?

You need to recruit more athletic debaters.

How will the ARU paying bills to the tune of $60k,be any different to just giving them the cash?

Really George Smith? Why do you think League introduced the mercy rule? It's because mis matches result in injuries, and no one gets injured in a League scrum!

He had an average game for him. I thought he tackled pretty well. But in the end,he was specifically responsible for 13 points for the other team,which is about par for him. The obsession with ignoring his faults,and overstating his value adds is also somehow quite awful.

It doesn't sound like this has even been kicked around over a coffee. Pulver keeps floating ideas of a 3rd tier that have not been thought through. He has suggested that the 3rdtier should be academy players from super franchises Then it was a national universities competition. And now we have...

Sounds great,but that's not how it works in the real world. most sponsorships are provided by keen Club supporters. In practice, you will see a reduction of sponsorships,with sponsors paying the stars directly. Additionally, the time,effort and commitment required these days is significantly...

Either our Bill needs more training in media management,and he has answered questions without giving it any thought Or he has been promoted above his abilities. Or both.

I don't think it matters if Pocock is less confident about sidestepping,or loses a smidgen of pace,when he comes back. Unless Link is planning on playing him at 9 or 10.

You already know the answer. Want to buy a ticket in the meat raffle?

He appeared to be lacking in confidence against the AB's.As you say he did not take the line on with ball in hand,and when kicking did not try and make 50 metres any time. He just knocked it out 20 metres upfield to ensure he made no errors. If he played that way for the Ponies he would be...

What sense is there in playing Las Vegas a week after NZ, then coming back to Oz 6 months later? I think you are right that the IRB controls the schedule, but I would have thought they would receive feedback before issuing the calendar each year. From my POV ,I would have thought it easier to...

Read my post,and what it was responding to. But since you brought it up, you say the halves were shit,but you are aggressive at any suggestion the halves should go. Bearing in mind, they have not been in stellar form prior to this. This game was not an anomaly, it was confirmation that their...

Different tune to a few months ago,how is it RD's fault when he was in charge,and now it's all the players fault and the coach has no viable alternatives?

He obviously didn't interview well PB. Oh hang on,they ever got around to that did they? Brumbies/Bok style looking a lot more attractive than it was 2 months ago!

He was responding to a post specifically about the halves. Yep the pigs got bitched,that is not an automatic pass for everyone else.

I think it would have been closer.
