Also known as the premier competition in the country that qualifies you for the Champions League?

Really frustrating, I gave up and went to bed. I thought maybe just my internet but a mate texted me complaining too

I disagree mate, we have managed to build up a fan base over the season because people like a decent contest. That’ll be gone before the next round. I’m a rusted on rugby man but have lost interest in this comp already. I already know the NZ teams are better than ours so why bother. It’s like...

So it looks like SAu will continue on after the first 2 matches

No - they constantly tell us we are inferior

That's not true. Some venues have a number of screens contracted to TAB but not all and TAB has nothing to do with Foxtel. TAB have started some new sports channels but only have rights to American sport. Yes Stan did a deal with the TAB (Sky Sports) to get it into the pubs & clubs but Peter...

That would be a great start for the Tahs

I think it's a massive issue - people out for Friday drinks don't know it's on, we are losing (lost) plenty of supporters. Surely one of our key markets are people knocking off work in the city late on Friday & enjoy a beer. We need to do everything we can to encourage the casual viewer. What...

Why not have both? I mean a big winger who can take advantage of the space created and who may also be able to rumble through 3 or 4?

Posted in reply on another thread but better suited here. I watched the NSW (Sydney) channel 9 news sport segment last night, it covered, NRL, AFL, Cricket, Formula 1, A-League, EPL & NBL. Nothing on the Rebels-Brumbies match that finished a couple of hours earlier or nothing on the...

I watched the NSW (Sydney) channel 9 news sport segment last night, it covered, NRL, AFL, Cricket, Formula 1, A-League, EPL & NBL. Nothing on the Rebels-Brumbies match that finished a couple of hours earlier or nothing on the Waratahs-Force match from the night before. Stan & 9 are doing a...

My main issue (other than child exploitation) are players who have no ties to a country and will leave as soon as they retire. Ricky Flutey lived in England for about 5 years, CJ Stander is the latest - moving 'home' to South Africa. It's hard knowing where to draw the line because genuine...

This is a worrying development - very hard to build depth when players don't get an opportunity here and are offered more money overseas. I really don't like the residency rule even when expanded to 5 years...

I think everyone realises the limitations of a 5 team comp

I'm pretty sure RA said they would be picking anyone from the NZ teams if there is a joint competition, JOC (James O'Connor) wanted an early release to go to the Chiefs - slight difference.

I completely agree, just responding to the suggestion we chase Marika. I'd rather bring someone one else 'home' from europe

If going for a winger can we please have Naiyaravoro back.

They had someone willing to fund it all and turned him down - he now own 2 MLR teams full of Aussie talent the Tahs could really use now.

Surely it can't be far away - also Japan and the rest of Asia also???

We now have a naming rights sponsor for Super Rugby Harvey Norman is onboard. I would think the FTA component would be appealing to them - they also do a fair bit with the NRL on Channel 9. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2021/02/18/2021-super-rugby-au-sponsor-announcement
