    Super Rugby Rd 6 Rebels v Sharks, Fri 23rd of March

    It says something when you can look at them and that they are clearly missing chances with lots of room for improvement and then it is their biggest win ever.

    The outside runner? Weren't there three of them out there?

    Was it Ainsley that butchered that try? What the hell was he thinking ...

    AFL started Thursday night with the typical blockbuster. Tonight was Essendon v Adelaide at Etihad. Also there was the NBL grand final just across the road. I would expect the Hurricanes will bring a much bigger crowd - above 12k would be considered good.

    Not really that surprising. SA teams never get good crowds in Melbourne and the AFL has just started. It did feel like less at the game than the other weeks. Not saying that it is good ...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I contribute over $1500 per year on attendances. If it was another $200 purely for SuperRugby online, I'd do that. The other bits are just things I wouldn't use. For other sports The NBA has a nice one - $150 per year or $55 per year with 8 games (of your choice per month) NBL is $5 per...

    It's still shit house really. We talk about the Rebels having problems getting sponsorship - why would anyone want to sponsor any team where they get less than 100k watching on TV and less than 15k in crowds (this relates to every Australian team).

    Ah don't worry. Maybe one of the Australian teams will get up to that number if you add up all of the attendances for their home games ... need just over 11,000 per game ... the Waratahs are almost on track for that ...

    At $500 per year ... Not worth it at that price given how little else I would watch

    And also watch replays any time I want. If I’m 20 mins late to start a game then I should be able to watch from the start and forward through. Or if I want to watch in the morning I should be able to. Increase my membership costs and include it in that as a starting point

    It was a short term win which unfortunately has had long term negative consequences (as has SuperRugby as a whole). The key things to watch over the next few years which will significantly impact Australian Rugby but which are out of RA's control are What do South Africa do? The Pro14...

    Um ... I think 4 PM Australia time is like 4 AM Ireland. 8 PM Australia time is 8 AM Ireland. There is absolutely no way on earth that the time is going to change. Basically, shit happens.

    Hehehe ... like the time I went to a Greek Orthodox wedding and had to use "It's all Greek to me". Unfortunately, the couple only lasted a couple of years but I did get to annoy lots of people.

    I'd settle for SuperRugby being on FTA ... In the mid-2000's sometimes we didn't even get the Wallabies v All Blacks games live in Melbourne on FTA.

    Aren't you the one who last week who said Wonderful togetherness there .... Personally, I didn't watch the game you mentioned as I didn't know it was on I don't have fox sports I don't know the teams or anyone in the teams I don't have unlimited time in my life If I had Fox sports, more...

    I think Genia is currently winning worst hair cut. Although I think O'Connor is still the leader for long term worst Rebels haircut. Any other contenders?

    Good for it. Good for you and all the people who watched it. Perhaps some people will try and catch it on delay or look it up elsewhere based on your positive comments about it. But you also said Which is what resulted in the responses.

    Of course it is madness. Also basically what the AFL have done - taken the VFL and gradually expanded. There have been casualties along the way (I still know some Fitzroy fans who basically don't follow the AFL at all). The pay tv wall is unfortunately really having a massive long term...

    Rebels 2018

    Honestly, I think he and English are pretty much even. I would have put Meakes as a likely starter at the start of the season but English has taken his opportunity well. Meakes had 1 more run for 12 more metres. 1 missed out of 7 tackles compared to 1 missed out of 6 for English. 2 turnovers...
