Thanks Strewth.

What was the cut off for no.20? I’d look myself but don’t know where you get these numbers Thanks

The question of funding is always hard to get accurate information on. We are told Test rugby is the main money earner for TV rights. We also know that broadcast rights (to Fox at least) are reported at a bundled level - so test plus super plus NRC. It’s impossible from ARU reports and media...

it is contained in the youtube video he linked to.

Today Izzy has been tweeting more stuff about gays needing to repent before going to hell. I'm not sure the ARU will want him re-signing.

If the NZR strategy is to wait for oz rugby to catch up - they is nuts!

yep Consultants arent always bad... the questions you give them to answer is always the most important thing. RUPA's consultant predicted Super Rugby expansion would be a disaster so proved quite good. You would think the most basic of market research would show that Super Rugby is a tarnished brand in Oz...

So CBS (owners of Ten) have signed on to broadcast the new US rugby comp. meanwhile Ten have zero local sports content. With the BBL, Ten showed they know how to turn around a faltering competition. faint hope perhaps???

I find AJ's new column quite challenging for me. I don't agree with his take on Folau (and his reference to NZ is probably a bit inaccurate as there has been a fairly loud response from NZ disagreeing with Folau). But let's leave that issue aside as there's no winner in that argument. I do...

Gold Coast is bigger than Newcastle and no one would suggest a team based there. I would think a Newcastle team would also struggle. I would be inclined to have a Country team that played there once a year as one of its home games - before committing a team there. having watched the...

yes his day job would/does have a demanding work load. didnt realise he had been crook too. no surprise then that he has stepped down.

arent he and his missus friends with the Sth Auckland evangelical dude - Brian Tamaki interesting reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tamaki

Up until a few years ago at least, Frawley and Miller worked in the same building. Probably worked out the transition at the coffee cart downstairs.

Frawley is no longer Chair. Replaced by Jeff Miller

hear bloody hear!!!

One part of discussions on Super Rugby v domestic comp that quickly turn binary is this notion that one is professionalism and the other semi pro. What if we just had lower paid full pro’s. What if we did throw the kitchen sink to retain stars? But instead set wages at sustainable levels? Yes those that...

Hahahahaha!!!
