    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Asking myself why i am pushing people to front money and "piss" it away for SANZAAR when the dollars Cox and the Force (force4) as well as the Vic and WA Governments could be used to build a really strong domestic competition that is professional and then work on the Super Rugby problem. SA is...

    Same brush. I don't get why they need a talk fest when you can buy the answers on line right? http://www.rugbycoachingconsultancy.com/online-shop.html

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Yep, we could also bring Black & White TV back cause it was a success. Video rentals shops were also successful so how we get the CEO's back to talk about running a successful business? FFS, rugby in this country is already stuck in a time warp do we need to keep living in the past?

    Brumbies 2018

    IIRC I believe I read that Cron wants to focus on the U20's. So part of the reason we are looking for a head coach is Larkham is only available part time and if Cron came on board even as an assistant would he also only be part time? The biggest concern with McKeller is he is already...

    Reds 2017

    Bingo! Thank you. An apples to apples comparison. Finally someone looked at the stats and you are right. The last few games he is on song, bizarrely with a dodgey leg. What he brought is direction and with Tuttle it's a settled the platform. My original point was I believe part of the issue is...

    Reds 2017

    Based on what you are saying it begs the question how long do you persist with "so closer" and with QC (Quade Cooper) playing poorly? Is is this similar to the Folau undroppable mantra?

    Reds 2017

    I don't thinks it was a game rather a culture. philosophy and more so a history they cannot remove themselves from that is like an undertow. The Reds have never cut completely away from, or detached fully from the past glories under Link. From RG to Stiles its all been the same undertones...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Actually in some respects there is a rich irony in this. The all want the ARU to run the show but constantly attack and criticise the ARU. No one has any good idea nor will agree on anything. Look at the SS V NSWRU V ARU as example and that does not even include the Super Rugby issues. Not that I am...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    It will also come back to defining what and when is a live "sports broadcast" and not. Is half time counted or if you cross to a "sports news update" When does it start and end? With kick off, or when they start telecasting the pre-game......

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Actually IIRC the rules in France are odd with most players getting the 8% rate for entertainers as its an exemption in the French legislation and there are provisions to work around the time limits.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Why not? Can you imagine if the consortium is the "force 4" and they acquire the Rebels, then they can choose who stay and who goes. But the even better twist then would be then they can simply say all or nothing! So, 2 go or 2 stay. And it’s a good way to hedge their bets come 2019 when the...

    Brumbies 2018

    IIRC the last team McKellar was at the helm of was the UC Vikings NRC team of 2014. The team was ridiculously forwards orientated, getting just 2 wins suffering with a poor game plan (we assume there was one) and poor selections. Oddly the following years the local Vikings coaches took the helm...

    Brumbies 2018

    IMHO it won't be welcomed and will potentially become very nasty as soon as performances don't improve. He will not have the same protections or leniency Larkham is afforded. On top of that will be the scathing views around the whole process and continued nepotism of the Brumbies and how out of...

    Refereeing decisions

    Thanks yourmatesam. From the GMG: Post-Tackle • ‘Driving out’ at the tackle must be near the ball – ie. 1 metre width either side of the ball. Players must not interfere with players on the fringes or past the ball who are not involved in the tackle/ruck. • Any player on their feet who has...

    15.5 (b) After a tackle any players on their feet may attempt to gain possession by taking the ball from the ball carrier’s possession. Based on above if defender is on their feet and on the ball and they are holding the ball and stay in that position despite a cleanout are they are they...

    Refereeing decisions

    I am not sure the rule would need changing. If the opposing player is merely positioned over the ball but trapping the ball by making no attempt to pilfer they they are in effect deliberately preventing a player relating the ball and preventing the ball being played? If the player on the...

    Refereeing decisions

    ^^ôr pop back up and dive forward...... I can't work out why its all so hard for refs. once the player is tackled if his first action is not to release but roll, crawl or pop up then its a penalty. As for Scoeys point above, unless the player over the ball is trying to pull upwards or back...
