It has not been working.

Surely the answer obvious to most of us is yes build a sustainable competition, start immediately. More to the point, doing this in the Covvid-19 interim does nothing to impact a potential return to Super, if that is how we were minded. But potentially some actions now with a return to Super...

The problem we have is that two issues do not equate. The first being a successful defence from an inappropriate and damaging coup d'etat. An however much I appreciate that success, it still does not equate to the second issue - being an effective RA with efficient change on the agenda.

Yep. Often it’s about separation.

I thought we stuck to Hamish too long at 10, but I stressed that our coaching didn’t have the ability to build a decent 10. Goes back to Jake. Hamish was always a tremendous rugby player looking for a position to call his own. I’ve said it before though he’s not a decent 10s A-hole. OTOH, given...

I understand what you are saying, but look, I hope not. Those guys in RA are fragile, posturing only works as a one way street for them.

Interesting challenge. it's certainly being reported. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-11/coronavirus-rugby-australia-to-launch-domestic-competition/12234812?section=sport

Is that "Sauce"? Like Maloney, maybe. If I wanted "colour" I'd look to Greg Martin <ducks for cover>

You think that's what they're saying? Read the thread or the last few posts again, OK here is a snap shot of the merry-go-round for you. RA announces a 5 team comp including WA. WA says wtf, about time you provided an invite. Suspicious fans, having been down this road before go "check the...

I'd start with Rugby Reg and Brett McKay and go from there. Maloney? Maybe.

I can completely respect this. It isn't the way he impacts me but I would be pleased to be able ti see him off and wish the guy well. We should always treat the servants of our game well during these transitions.

Have to say that I'm quite comfortable if that is the result. For the life of me though I don't see how the PI teams can generate local income sufficient to support themselves - and we will not be in a position to be benevolent. Keep an eye on NZ though. They will have more than a bit part in...

Clearly he is not ready, and perhaps we need to see how he settles at Super before thinking of rep rugby - but Jock Campbell is exactly what you are talking about. It isn't always obvious on the broadcast but at the game, his communication and organisation is forefront. It is not something I...

Yep, in this case offering a polemic is nothing less than building a straw man.

I'm completely surprised by this post. To start with if the "Strayan" teams can't accomodate the Kiwis in their cost structure then they don't get them. Secondly, and i will translate to two Reds players. If Liam Wright went to the Blues, I'd be pissed, though surprisingly not as pissed as if he...

You dont need RA for a TT, just the Franchises. Of course it would completely kill pro rugby as an Australian product, but what the hell. Kick the can down the road.

No need to shout. :p Does anyone read Ian Banks sci fi? He has these really cool self intelligent, highly advanced AI, extremely armed, space ships. They all take amuzing names. One being : I said "I've got a very big stick" Apparently you're meant to whisper when you say it.

^^^I didn’t think Super existed when that legislation was written.

They removed Castle in order to engineer that opportunity then got weak kneed when push came to shove. I’m not seeing the optimism.
