It still comes down to whether you're using it for development or building commercial value. While a number of these events are well run and of high standard they really aren't set up to provide the backbone of a commercial venture. If you're using them as primarily development opportunities...

Don't worry. He's a Reds supporter. Considering they still have Graham at the helm as Tahs supporters we'll be able to have the last laugh as he and many other Reds fans cry into their beers.☺

Ideally you're looking at the peak prime time viewing slots that are family friendly. You're also looking at minimizing costs which means minimizing the need for overnight accommodations. Five hours would be too long. Between 7 and 10 pm is the most viewer and family friendly timeframe. That's...

I tend to agree with you regarding the structure of a Sevens specific tournament. It would be more beneficial for it to be run over 4-5 weeks as a means to balance costs. You could actually get in 8 games in a 2-2.5 hour period. So P.Tah's broadcast window would still be applicable. Run the...

No your comment is fair. It highlights a few of undoubtedly many issues that would need to be addressed. I think we can safely assume that the NRC isn't profitable as yet. Though, from the statements made and thd minimum standards set I get the impression that its goal is to be more cost...

If it were to structured as a 6 week National series then I'd be inclined to agree with you on elevating current structures etc. But approaching it under the original terms presented by P.Tah were each team plays one game a night before moving on to the next location the next night while looking...

P.Tah's original idea is about developing a marketable product in which to sell to broadcasters during the holiday season. This brings up the idea of quality versus quantity. I understand that clubs have made significant investment in their own programs but we need to look at this from a...

He recorded a 40 yard dash of 4.22 in 2014 while training with the Detriot Lions. The fastest time recorded in the NFLthat year. Evidently that's quicker than Bolt over tge same distance.

Why not both? Seriously. Look at it this way. Carlin Isles touted the fastest man in Rugby has a best time of 10.23. According to the video above 6 or the 7 ran under 10.50. Imagine placing both Williams and Browning on the pitch together.

Your last sentence sums up my first post nicely. The NRC is about delivering high level development opportunities to emerging talent. To ensure they are best prepared for the step up to Super Rugby. To do so the competition needs to be highly competitve across the board. No easy matches. Having...

Wouldn't weakening the one team states only weaken the competition as a whole. It shouldn't be about weakening some teams by cutting pro numbers in order to allow others to become more competitive but more finding a solution to raise the competitiveness of the weaker squads. Maybe removing two...

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, I don't think winding back the NSW teams from 4 back to 2 is that bad an idea. Think about it. One of the stalkly obvious issues at present with the NRC is the lack of overall competitiveness of the NSW teams. When you consider that as a state we...

I've long been a fan of a Sevens circuit but honestly I doubt it offers our opportunity to develop a BBL equivalent. Sevens operates better as a circuit and not a League in the sense that the BBL does. While having 4-5 games a night seems like a great idea imagine six weeks down the track when...

I understand your point but it does fall under the Country banner as part of the Illawarra RU. Also, its about as country as both Wollongong and Newcastle. It's actually considered part of Greater Sydney which technically so is Wollongong.

Being both born and raised in the region I can confirm that yes, it is its own distinct region. Having the Eagles based in the region would work.

Either way, a 100% boost isn't too shabby.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing regarding whether or not that figure is in AUD or USD.

Supposedly they've signed Eagles 7s and 15s rep Andrew Duratalo.

Any Utah based squad would definitely have a strong PI flavour. Utah produces some really good players that are u fortunately lost to the game by the need to earn a living to support their families. While a SLC team would go against the statement that Sacramento will be ProRugby's smallest...

Oh, and Salt Lake City has been mentioned previously and again recently. So, Buffalo may be a misdirect. Only ProRugby knows for sure. That said, Salt Lake City would be a good location. Strong Rugby scene with lots of players again particularly at the youth level. Two of the strongest college...
