So for those that want to play along at home here is your chance to have your say. Its an audience and at least you get to have a say. Will it do anything? Saying or doing nothing certainly wont. Your submission could ensure the committee are well informed about the game and are prepared if...

The ToRs are deliberately designed to be broad and can be amended and refined by the committee as they are not experts (key thing to remember!). Most who have to deal with them also read them in terms of what ruled out as well as in. Two things you don't do is take the piss or be a smart-ass if...

Um no. Not even close. Going straight to question was arrogant and missed the chance to show some empathy. Using the word vindicated was another really poor choice. The only thing other than his spiel was the poor question from the Jurno's. Not one saked about where the ARU stood on the rebel...

We know about Aussie rugby players and contracts. Jumping ship is pretty easily done and if it offers security and opportunity players will jump ship. So right off the bat I know Alcock, Ah-Wong, Toua, Magnay, potentially Smiler, are just a few that need a deal and team to return to...

When you consider the possibility of a Twiggy competition and the potential effects to the rugby landscape it paints an interesting potential scenario. So logically the best teams to target for Twiggy are the privately licensed NRC team (ironically the ARU wanted the private licences). So that...

The list goes on Vikings as well.

I got you point. Have you considered that reluctantly, but regretfully the majority of supporters want that to happen as its the only way to get rid of the incumbent old boys/leather elbow patch brigade that has put the game in this place as it the only way it will occur? Just remember that...

Sorry, but did I miss a post in this conversation? The powerful old boys/leather elbow patch brigade you refer to ;are they the same blokes that have struggled to keep club level SS afloat (and have done fortunately) over the last few years or the ones that have just fatally wounded the Super Rugby...

Fair comment and I will wear it. i understand what you are saying, but its not where i was coming from. Behind all stories are stories. It appears having Hawera around for the NRC make made Christian surplus to requirement which was great in that it helped the deal. The really generous ones...

I get where you are coming from Warberal (base on your previous comments I have seen but I tend to disagree. One of the key issue that was the undoing of the S18 was the desire / need for more "local derbies" that did help on the revenue from with both rating but mainly gate (when teams were...

A little. ;)

I love this article. When I am feeling down I read it and it makes me laugh and feel a little better about having McKellar as HC. :D http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2017/06/25/23/49/mcgahan-reds

McKenzie is very unlikely. Keeping himself busy. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/capital-recycling-solutions-faces-grilling-over-fyshwick-plant-20170820-gy0465.html

http://www.themercury.com.au/video/id-5348771529001-5552778340001/did-retallick-deserve-a-red At 1:29 you will notice Hanigan deliberately sit up and put his arm over Retallick head so Retallick head is under Hanigan arm pit. So unless Hanigan releases that grip, the action of Retallick...

Amazing what year under competent coaching as well as being played in his preferred and better suited 15 position. Last week may have been rust and positional adjustments. This week we saw what he really has until Aussie rugby again sucks the life, skills and confidence out of him.

BLEDISLOE PUNTER PREDICTIONS (AKA: getting game thread back on track) Have a crack - winner get the fame but no fortune! Will either Genia or Foley get charged down? If so who first? Will there be a knock-on by the Wallabies in the first 6 minutes? How many missed tackles will here be by...

Sorry, I have had to have a double take and still I feel I need to check to be sure; is this the game thread? Its interesting to read the above and the attitudes seem the same across both the playing and on-field arrangements when it comes to Aussie rugby v Kiwi. All we here from Aussie...

I have read that article a few times and all it screams is business incompetence on a mind blowing scale. To be deep in the financial shitter and be so locked in to such a stupid position (talk about paint your self in to a corner!) where your own contract with the Rebels was used against you...

We all need to dream. No, that is not the assumption I was running with but its a good one none the less. I would expect that before this was even causing a restless night for other unions a silent revolution would be in play if not played out to move on the common issue in all of this:the...

It would be a new competition that is not encumbered by a set calendar or locked in to WR (World Rugby) rules, catering to a market that is wanting content. Internationals would be irrelevant to this SH competition which is the key money spinner to HN unions like the RFU. With the "öld" unions...
