Sounds like the old cardigan brigade taking action against the new cardigan brigade. “That’s not how we do it, old boy, you need to make more effort on pretence.”

Have I suggested this? If so apologies, my intention was that the Unions should take much better control of their votes. Here's the thing, though - 6 months takes us through the broadcast negotiations, and the intentions of what the pro game looks like going forward. So we get locked in to a...

There is a lot that fans are going through right now, and while I realise that fans don't actually carry any weight on said pendulum, there is no output from any individual at RA for a few days can be said raises no anger. None.

Oh yeah.

Surely this is also the end of Super/TT. Not even a half competent organisation would want to get into bed with this shit-show. Whatever I think of the appropriateness of our pro-game relationship with New Zealand, one thing is definite. NZRU are way more than half competent.

If now is not the time, what the actual f circumstances are required?

Generally impracticable because the shareholders are rarely so aligned. Here the votes are the unions. And they certainly could if they had the will.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to resolve the RA. This message explodes (in a shower of shit) in 5 seconds. tick... tick ... tick ... tick... <boom>

In terms of selecting individuals for a rep team, there were plenty from the Reds. The w/l ratio doesn’t necessarily reflect that if the WB coaches believe they can use the players. It is however another example (a little off topic here) of why Brad needs to be seen to step up as/if we return...

That and the visual fits for pretty much any logical fan of rugby over, oh years.

Sorry mate, Hooper and To'omua are the authorities on what sort of rugby will work in Aus?

Yes we keep hearing this. Unfortunately NZ shows no willingness for a comp that has any hope in Aus. It’s time to get past precepts that are anchored in Super

I’d prefer a domestic comp with Force than a TT without them. (Hell, if you can be a broken record, so can I). If NZ are not interested or capable of contributing to a comp with a playing field that is competitive then a TT is not viable.

Sure. Though it is a strange world and you don't know till we get there.

Quick, you make an error to presume that the indignant SRU and it's relationship with NSWRU and RA is "Australia". To start with, QRU has its issues with Premier, but it isn't this. And of course there is a lot more to rugby in Australia and NSW and Q. You have a distinctly NSW disease there.

Hey WOB, first, apologies for coming lately to this interesting input. I thought it better to go back to the first of your posts. Firstly, to answer your question with a question: If the suggested change in policy will make no difference, as you suggest, does this not provide open door to...

It's a different beast though Dan. One supplants national competition with international competition. The other qualifies the top domestic teams through a full domestic comp, and the champions play a limited after season international comp. In my case, it's not that I don't want to watch games...

I happened in NZ, though. Yes a bumpy ride, effective all the same.

Yes and no, here. Clearly a review was required in NZ as the situation has changed big time. And it would be odd for terms of reference to specifically add Aus to the list. BUT, at some point the status and possible near futures of the international partners will impact how NZ navigates going...

Funded a) from saving in international travel, accommodation and away from homes expenses. b) from more home games to build a greater sustainability from the clubs themselves c) greater broadcast "ability" hopefully over time landing better $broadcast opportunities - for the pro comp, not the...
