Fuck we're at risk of running into a word salad, but here goes: I think you're getting fanatical devotion to Super Rugby confused with fanatical devotion to money from News Ltd. Super Rugby and tests drove revenue for the game, but locked the game out for those without Foxtel subsciption. As a medium...

I think the Kiwis have a choice: work with us, or go it alone. They can't really afford for the latter either.

So we're back to the same tired argument of Super Rugby is the cause of our woes, rather than the dismal failure to foster the game at grassroots outside of inner Sydney and Brisbane (still happening BTW, just ask anyone west of Petersham).

I'm imagining the motel in Schitt's Creek, with at least two 'drug deals gone wrong' each week.

You left out 'word salad', an integral part of this thread.

So are you suggesting we stick to a 5 team, 8-round comp with finals? Or do we go with the dilution?

You've just gone full nuff. In your previous post you've claimed that super rugby was the cause for Australia's decline. Nice try though. I'd be intrigued to see your verbal gymnastics explain how having 8 or more domestic sides in this climate would somehow raise the salary cap, manage to...

You know Australia also went through its golden age playing in an international provincial comp, don't you? Also, the last full super rugby home final the Reds played in completely filled Lang Park and had people viewing in pubs across the country. A domestic-only comp in the short term...

Those poor pigeons

Oops. Yeah, hope they have enough space on the scoreboard at Edinburgh

Couple of good matchups, interesting how Wanneroo go against quality opposition. Curtin's season looking disastrous, are they actually managing to field four sides each week?

Other codes? Did Hooper move to the GWS Giants?

Helps if their first team can actually compete.

Awesome, a national domestic comp, so we can give as few shits as people do about the A-League.

Missed a golden opportunity to bring Warren G into that one DP

And also fuck me dead, what is it with union people using 'double movement' without understanding what it even means in rugba leeg? Leaguies can't promote the ball once they've been tackled and their initial momentum has been stopped. The idea is that once the player goes to ground, the tackle...

Fuck that was deflating. Not even this halal snack pack is cheering me up.

There appears to be this prevailing 'field of dreams' view of developing sport here. The ARU and NZRFU have been providing technical support to Asia and the Pacific for decades. This has been primarily in developing the game at grassroots level. This is far more important than helicoptering...

There ya go, fixed it

We need those DP gifs in here, except it's the red-and-blacks oh sheeeet
