The same one two posts up that I was referencing?

Unfortunately I don't pay for that one either. I see what they are thinking but believe you would lose the rest of the rugby community - who from outside of the lucky clubs especially for the other states who only have 1 representative would care about it. Also you lose the ability to have best...

The only thing I've see of it is you saying it - nothing on the fox article.

The ABC has been very pro AFL & Soccer and pays less attention to Rugby than the commercial news outlets. You only have to look on their rugby union news webpage to see the complete lack of reporting. https://www.abc.net.au/news/sport/rugbyunion/ They could change that 'lack of visibility'...

Where is all the money coming from? Putting refs on a retainer throughout the season is paying them not to referee when they are unavailable? Also when does a referee stop being a club referee and start being a SIRA referee?

I think he is a good option - was worried that we would end up with one of the fox commentators like Kafer & Co

That happens when you only have 4 professional teams in the country

I saw he played for Parramatta in a 7's comp recently

I know - Hunt's defense has really dropped off since he started wearing sky blue.

My understanding of the 3 questions: The 16 rounds were discussed at the November 2017 AGM in positive tones but nothing happened and the board made a call this year. Womens in 10's with 20 minute halves being played as it is currently before 2nd grade. If players commit to rep footy and...

Club bonus $$$$

Hopefully Western Sydney will be in for the inaugural season then???

Coach Tim Walsh has rewarded Hamilton debutant Josh Coward with a second straight start in Sydney after an impressive outing last weekend. This quote is very much at odds from all reports I've seen from the weekends event...

I did read somewhere one proposal was a relegation playoff between the winner of the European 2nd division and the last team in the 6 nations. I hope that's the case for both pools. Longer term it will be interesting to see where everyone fits - do we go with a North v South or Europe v the...

Hopefully something to make a few here a bit happier https://www.southerninlandru.com/news We have a draw for this season!!!! Only 3 byes and a 16 round season starting on the 6th of April and Grand Final on the 31st of August, finals will be a top 4 played over 3 weeks.

If that's the case they why are they so obstructionist with the ARC and now the NRC??? In my view, their role in canning the ARC after 1 season was the start of the current situation we find ourselves in.

On another front there is positive news for the first time in several years men's XV's playing numbers are up. http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/12/17/participation-selby-xvs-growth "I think that's really helped where we might have lost people because of barriers, we've removed some of those...

Sorry I had that wrong - there are actually 6 byes penciled in...

I think it shouldn't be about the number of tests but maybe 5 years of super rugby. Currently you could be the 3rd best hooker in the world and play for 10 years with a super team only getting a handful of caps and are ineligible because of relative strength in a position.

I have a feeling the only reason there is the Olympic sevens clause is at the instance of the IOC as on Olympic sport.
