Oh bullshit Pillock, as if you aren't going to sink it into your Pitcairn holding companies. At least until a disgruntled employee/partner of Kellaher, Kellaher, and Kellaher leaks a list of their clients.

Cheers WOB. Having just said all of that, we really failed at some key junctures in the decade from 2003. To be honest, the 2007 world cup failure seems to be the lesser of the lot in hindsight. But still, it could be so much worse - despite all the doom and gloom of finance and our poor...

I was gonna say, the corporate dollar took a big hit as well. If the Wallabies can keep clear of the 'basket case' tag, we might reclaim some corporate coin after last year's RWC. Edit: a bit less ambiguous

The 1992-2003 Wallabies were outstanding (except when Smith took the reins). Having said that the 2004-2015 All Blacks were one of the winningest test teams of all time. What was their overall test win ratio during that period? I'd hazard a guess and say that only their old enemy (SA) took...

Hey hey hey, the 2015 Wallabies can't be wrong!

It's even done up in Brisbane. I guess it is pretty much a big country town.

Who knows? We've been through a few semis this season. If we eke out more improvement, settle on a squad, and not repeat that semi against Fiji, the gold medal is up for grabs. A lot can happen in 14 minutes.

I do wonder if having subbies clubs' reasonable costs all met by Dismal Pillock's offshore (Pitcairn) discretionary trust would help. Everyone has been aware that it's getting harder to play organised sport on a weekend with the demands of the 'flexible' workplace etc, with player numbers...

ARE YOU THREATENING ME???

The Kearns Lacus Lacrimalis. Prone to significant overflows during the Chris Hickey era. The locals still hung around for the bulk fishing.

That's from the fracking up at Lightning Ridge.

What is the deal with Australian football teams and 'power'? The horseys and their player power, the Force and firepower, the Brisbane horseys and power's brewery.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_10_Rugby Ahh Super 10. Proof that Transvaal weren't always shit.

Let's just go back to Super 12. Merge Free State with Gauteng Lions to create the Golden Cats again. Quality footballing.

Yes but unfortunately Shane Drahm has been retired for nearly a decade now.

The thing with a second Sydney team is that they're competing with the NSW state team. As a Qld supporter, I'm not sure that I could support the competitor to the Qld state team. Likewise, NSW would need to consider a 'Sydney' team and a 'Western Sydney' team. Not sure if that would work...

Comparing to the NRL and AFL is an exercise in futility. Very different organisations with different ideology, access to sponsorship, and player development channels. The AFL's expansion teams were set up by the VFL as a means of raising revenue streams to support struggling clubs (Fitzroy...

They were? Outside of 'Telstra Smart Rugby'?

I admit to being a follower of aerial ping-pong, and you have no idea how much it shits me seeing one of the prescious FTA slots being taken up by a pointless GWS match. The only consolation is the thought that Queensland has to suffer through both a Lions and a Suns match each week.

Back to the old chestnut of not enough money being put into grassroots footy. The Force's troubles are similar to those of Australian Rugby as a whole - another symptom of the squandered funds and goodwill after RWC2003.
