Bugger! Sad news. Really feel for him. Significant loss off our roster. Good opportunity for Bo Abra.

We could try and be a touch optimistic with what hey are doing. If you going to sink the current ship and start afresh I believe you may strip out any assets you may need in future and let expendable assets take control and scuttle it (they can even go down with it). Far easier then to bring...

In respect of what to do with Kata, many believe that the Reds post Kerevi attack is more threatening so maybe the Brumbies might want to take a leaf out of their book and take the opportunity to give Kata an opportunity@13. It could rejuvenate or even reinvent the Brumbies attack. Since last...

Not sure if a sign of what's going on at then Rebels, but when your own commentary team and scorers are against you........:D The locals had it right on the ground scoreboard and all the announcements. Kuenzel missed his first conversation but on the "stream" the conversation banner came up...

Don't forget the claytons captain thing the Brumbies did with Carter and Fardy. One was appointed while the other led the team. ;) Congrats to AAA. Not convided how long this will work practically. It may just end up naturally falling to one of the others who will be on the field for a longer...

^^^ A good thought provoking article. Again it comes back to highlighting the issue about being relevant so we can start to cultivate a new supporter base as the traditional one we have declines. But alas, we will keep pushing doing the good old Aussie rugby thing. How does any "x amount of...

I am still sticking to my earlier nomination:

^^^^^ based on all the remaining teams performing the same as they did last year. It's sport; anything is possible.

IMHO FWIW I think the "what's wrong with Super Rugby" question is a pretty much a Red Herring. Most of us like to watch our team play against the Kiwi teams and even SA teams. The concept is fairly sound. It's the people to watch it that are missing. The structure of Aussie rugby is currently...

Potentially the third against the Highlanders could be played in NZ. Reds game potentially could be moved if they act quickly. Certainly not an easy thing to do. The loss to the Brumbies is concerning and at this point I think they will lose at least 2 x home games revenue. The potential...

Love your work BR ;) https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/118593619/australia-bushfires-more-smoke-on-its-way-to-new-zealand (PS: the way the Reds are looking a bit of smoke affect on them could be a good thing for the Brumbies if you can arrange it!)

I was waiting to see how long until they pulled the trigger and moved the team so they could train. The conditions are impossible to train in due to the air quality. On the three occasions I have been able to get on the bike post xmas (and generally there is only a short window where its been...

It great news. Even better that its several years in a row and could continue. But alas, it's hard not to see the irony in this noting the bloke who was behind the Brumbies reorganisation and governance changes that paved the way to the profits was sacked. :rolleyes:

Thanks Kiap. I agree that it would have been problematic but it was an available option that could have "capped" the cost. Your post highlights the problems RA faced trying to deal with him and I believe why they chose the path they did. Although, I would say that the disharmony and...

I cannot like this post enough!!!!!!

I am curious to know if I have misjudged or was a variable potential resolution that was available to RA been overlooked in all the reporting? If I am correct, I think it could be a clear marker of the actual "high water" mark for the settlement. I believe that at any point RA and NSWRU could...

I am wondering if Castle is pushing a more holistic approach to the RA set up that might benefit the game more broadly (shocking I know!). As pointed out, SA like many counties are using a similar setup (I believe that the Kiwi's and Poms just do it more discreetly from the boardroom level)...

Yep. That initial conversation seemed to start the ball rolling then he changed his mind but it was too late. To me it's a good example of how things can change quickly around player selection and contracts, thus why I referred to it. As a side note, what does make you think is that with...

I am not attempting to re-write. I am referring to known history: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/rugby/nsw-waratahs/cold-shoulder-from-jake-white-sets-michael-hooper-on-path-to-waratahs-stardom/news-story/ea119c9892f0ea1917dba098fde587d0
