They need to find a marketing strategy that makes rugby accessible and dare I use to word but "cool". If you fix the marketing, you will gain interest which will flow to the grass roots in terms of revenue and participation. People underestimate what "the footy show" and media coverage of...

The more worrying thingistheend of the article. Jason Allen said last week he had spoken to several coaching candidates, the article suggests that the committee to appoint a new coach hasn't been finalized. Being that Jason Allen doesn't have a rugby background or brain. Surely we can get...

Made in a laughing manner, but the point of the gulf between the top 2 Halfs and the rest isn't anything to snicker at. We need to pray Genia stays injury free and in form.

All the talk has been that when things were going bad half way through the season that foley and Webb tried to get Gaffney sacked. So no wonder gaffneythinks it didn't work. In other gaffney news. He has appointed McCutcheon club captain, a position that is off field and separate from match day...

Waratahs 2012 gala awards tomorrow. Surely Dave Dennis must be a lock for the Matt Burke cup. It could be a very short awards night. Heard a few whispers some rumor about the coach may be leaked in the lead up.

Sorry what part of it is bollocks? Deans game plan or lack there of may have cost us games, but cooper reacted to the pressure he found himself under in a negative fashion. As I said, if he managers to play within himself and we can take pressure off him by having Barnes next to him doing a lot...

Hahaha. One of your best. Love it.

There fine, just don't mention the reds, then it's a question of ethics.

To quote yourself. wanting something one way doesn't make your way right. As I said if I pushed things to far I apologize. Marginalizing others contributions as nothing because you don't like it is over the top. I don't expect an apology though. The mods do a good job. There is a place...

Karl - we only compete for talent with other Aus teams. The Saffa and kiwi models are really of no concern.

Sorry, I forget that calling out reds players the same way Tahs players are called out is petty. Sorry, I didn't realize that in a thread where people have said that one defensive effort should result in a black mark against that player that saying if that was the case a player such as cooper...

The Tahs conditioning has already been addressed. It's a shame. The under conditioned Tahs front row weren't surpassed by any f the other "better conditioned" Australian front rows. You can't coach class. Don't think I missed the point all. Edit for ash: people are calling for players to be...

Bruce - the Tahs posted a 50k profit last year, there being unfairly punished for reinvesting in grass roots rugby. No other team can hope to sign up and coming nsw players that can contribute to successful teams unless the Tahs continue to keep the ones that can't under contract. It's just...

Bit of a furfy stat in Gill & Pocock. (not undermining his ability) but the force play a style of retention while the reds play field position. Gives gill more opportunities. Either way, great to have them both and hooper in the national set up, competition and their individual abilities is...

Agree with you totally.

If we started marking cards in Australian rugby for lazy tackling attempts, Cooper would never have gotten a game to begin with.

I just fail to see in a year that the tahs lost Beale, Mowen, Waugh, Burgess that other teams could claim that 50grand prevented them from recruiting players. We're talking an extra 1% of the cap.

I don't get Mitchell's selection. He was timid and underdone at the Tahs and said himself had their season been going well they wouldn't have given him the run. Is there a report on him from club land, has he been carving it up or something? His selection is based on form displayed in the...

With due respect. Let's say player A is on 400000 and player B is on 500000. Now salary cap is 4million or whatever and the Tahs are looking rosy coming in at 3.9 when there is injury or a player leaves and they need to bump another player up to a full time contract. They need to find 150000...

If the total is 50grand as has been suggested in the media. I'm not sure of the actual advantage caused. It sounds more like management managed the salary cap poorly and found a way around it. 50 grand is a third of a basic contract. If that divided between two people has caused recruitment at...
