The former AB? I don’t think that’s a good fit at all. If you want someone who can do the job for now we have JOC (James O'Connor). What we need is a new player being guided through to long term 10. Taken a few minutes here and there building it for seasons coming. We don’t want or need a journeyman 10.

Yep. Astonishing that this has not been more widely picked up.

I suspect we are perhaps far enough into things now to make some suggestions predicting how things may pan out. Note please the difference between an opinion of what will happen, not what should happen. TLDR: shrink to greatness likely to continue but Aus pro rugby to survive all be it with...

Clearly they would need to chase sponsorship and advertising.

I actually agree with this. It takes some doing and an intestinal battle as I wouldn’t trust either Papworth or Poidevin as far as I can throw them. But they are obvious invitees at any broad panel discussion that intends moving toward better internal relations.

It you get the same sort of crowds as previously I seriously doubt achieving a 1n per 4 m rule is a problem. Just need to open more decks.

This seems to me self evident, though you need the Kiwis to get there. The bigger question is whether Australia is better able to support a professional competition with NZ or without. SO far I have seen naught that indicates anything that suits NZ will work for Aus. Possible exception of...

I was not aware of that.

The devil is in the detail - but yes.

I would much prefer to watch Premier rugby via the QRU streaming portal than through Foxtel. They will need to pick up the National rugby pro comp for my subscription.

Wam, my reading was the team loses a man for 20 mins. The infringing player can not return. Agree with WoB - officials should be able to consider reverting penalty to YC with the 10 mins they have.

Is that the way the numbers work? I had presumed when the say 10 people in a restaurant it meant 10 paying customers. Not 2 chefs, 1 helper, 2 serving staff and 5 customers.

I REALLY like the red card variation. Sensational stuff, NZ.

All the best Beth. Loved your work. Hope we see you again some day.

No idea - I take it you're advocating self-broadcasting? If so I'm on board.

This. Though I don’t see how having Foxtel involved improves the proposal.

Works for me, just having trouble seeing the savings to RA for not doing something that there was scant evidence of them doing before.

That is the Kings gone for good, or back in Currie Cup only, and SARU back with the SA politics of needing to claim they are promoting the Kings/PE heavily.

How much actual promotion have RA ever done for Super? The only promotion I can recall is from the state RUs which means a bit in Qld and a desert in NSW.

Eh? The only club/franchise in Australia that is independently funded? Serious?
