    Super Rugby Rd. 7. Rebels v Hurricanes at AAMI Park, Friday 30th @ 7.30pm

    Can please explain this further? So the Force last year which are now the core and in reality the forwards for the Rebels were ok at best last year. The Rebels from last year were poor. They had no intention of retaining Jack Deb and there were not any others that stood out bar the odd cameo...

    Not sure if more witnesses to the execution serves us well. o_O

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I am sorry, are you new here? ;) This is rugby - we don't do that! Even when we do try we can we only compare everyone oranges to our apples. What compares to Super Rugby? Take the RA spreadsheets or SANZAAR reports; what data were they using to make comparisons to or derive some evidence from? The...

    ACT Brumbies v NSW Waratahs, GIO Stadium 31 March

    I agree with it being Teveita last chance but i think I would have Banks or Dargaville @13 before Am. Am looks pretty good but I don't think is at the level of the hype he gets from some and if you have a look at his history his ball control is not quite there yet and tends to have some...

    ACT Brumbies v NSW Waratahs, GIO Stadium 31 March

    https://nga.gov.au/cartier/ Good bar on the grass area of the forecourt south end (right when you come through main gates). Bentspoke is overrated!

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    Thanks. Just wanted to check I was not misinterpreting. Interesting about the Friday to Saturday Kiwi game comparison.

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    Can I just clarify; so these are defiantly Aussie rating figures for Foxtel? So correct me if I am wrong, but these figure are saying that only 2K less watched a non-prime time game (5:30pm), with no Aussie team featured - correct? So that was also in direct competition with the live F1...

    Brumbies 2018

    All up the Brumbies are a political play-toy which assures their existence (as RA already knows). Anyway, lets agree to disagree TOCC and move on.

    Bigger than you may think actually. Canberra is a small place. The individuals on that board were very influential in Canberra business and politics. This was this an...

    Brumbies 2018

    No, actually. At the announcement of Plus500 it was the question that most wanted answered as Aquies were only renewed (extended as principal) a month before. But that was "managed" with the "Aquis is kindly stepping aside to give Plus500 the opportunity........". It was hard not to giggle and...

    Brumbies 2018

    Jones settled with the Brumbies in September, Brumbies announced re-signing of Aquis as principal partner in October nullifying the triggers, the Elections was held a few weeks later (late Oct) with the result Aquis wanted, Plus500 was announced as principal sponsor in December replacing Aquis...

    Brumbies 2018

    There were contingencies in the deal but Aquis publicly supported Jones and his change management programme even praising his vision and work. Once he was cut there a deal agreed to that Aquis would realign the sponsorship to ACT community rugby and painted as courteously giving up the front of...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I understand due to the price why so many people don't have Foxtel (IMHO its expensive). But at the same time I can also see it from a potential broadcasters perspective if supporters wont even reluctantly pay to watch their chosen sport out of a desire to see it and can happily live without it...

    Brumbies 2018

    If Lilo leaves we may need to consider future options at 12. Depending on how unloved he actually is (yet to be determined), IMHO one player that could be a good one to target is Duncan Paia’aua.

    Brumbies 2018

    I found this very interesting and revealing about the damaged caused by the Brumbies Board war. ActewAGL has not been a Brumbies sponsor since a Canberra rugby war erupted in 2016, with relationships pushed to breaking point. But the parties have forged a new partnership, led by a...

    Brumbies 2018

    I think his signing at the Brumbies may have been a double edged sword. Good for his development but also prolonging the inevitable move while sadly reinforcing that he just isn't at the level he was hyped to.

    Rebels 2018

    Posts from the mega thread including the questions - are they gone of will they be repatriated? Well if we are back here and the topics open, I have a question. IIRC the Rebels had Rabodirect as their major sponsor for 5 years until the end of 2015 and have not had one since. I am aware...

    Brumbies 2018

    I agree about Godwin. I think his playing time is now up in Australia. They should release him immediately and start thinking future. We already have better options at 12 behind Christian and we also need to consider that there is very strong possibility that he will also be leaving at the end...

    Karmichael Hunt Stuff

    It then begs the question if the Reds could be the point of difference in that market place and act without the external pressures. The sponsors like the public like to align with good roles models.
