The usual suspects haven't reported the super rugby ratings so far this weekend. Anyone seen any numbers?

The Wookie's website has the running total. Only 1 more game so far this year - probably due to what gets publicly reported, total is running a bit behind last year and hence the average is down too.

Let's be very conservative with some expenses 12 teams * 23 players * 22 rounds * $1000(say) match payment = $6m 12 teams * 30 players * $100,000 ave salary = $36m 12 teams * $1m for coaching/development etc etc = $12m Total so far is >$50m and you won't be keeping many players of quality in...

Isn't the implication that they don't have other grounds for sacking him?

can'o'worms this guidance was published last year

Laws are simple. It's knowing when to blow the whistle that's the complicated bit

NRC is effectively cost neutral for the ARU at the moment isn't it? I thought foxtel money covered the competition expenses and it was the teams that took the hit on player/coaching costs recoverable from crowds etc if they can. The other level which is somewhere between club and pro and will...

Our sport has the advantage law which surely makes any discussion or comparison of penalty counts almost impossible?

Community Rugby = paying the salary and expenses of Development officers

Tahs v Brumbies - 87k Blues v Sharks - 36k That tahs game really shows the battle the ARU will have averaging 100k for all oz super Rugby games. Also, Lions v Suns on foxfooty - 177k

Crusaders v Jags - 57k Rebels v Hurricanes - 69k

Would recruitment/scholarships have been given by the private schools then? That's about the time the arms race really got started with the GPS schools in Brisbane

Why (and when) did Rugby fall over?

Just looking at the TV figures - because we can track those - thanks to The Wookie's posts and his footy industry website. Bledisloe games rate at about that 1m combined Metro+Regional+Fox South African games, and especially Argentina games are less (as low as 500k). They probably average...

Presumably Pulver will be linking his bonuses to these KPIs. Brave man.....
