Aye but it's in a full blown plummet now.The trend has been downwards for a very long time.

Does anyone else get the feeling that the noose is starting to tighten!
yes slim and BH the decline started a long time ago, but at this key juncture you could not have had a worse person in charge.
Clone had the the solution to Aust rugby's problems asking to help but his arrogance, ego and blind loyalty to his agenda and Melb mates had him not only refuse but also make Twiggy an enemy.
Clone is RA's biggest problem though I don't see a solution without massive outside support.
He's just the latest manifestation. The vast majority of board members, charimen and CEOs in the professional era have all been cut from the same cloth. And they're essentially the same group of people that run banks and large corporations - and we see on show at the Royal Commissions how they behave.
I assume that the RA strategy is to stay afloat until that point.
How many franchises stay alive when they start shuttering outlets to stay afloat? Fucking zero.Yep. I think most likely it'll be to go back to 3 teams in the next deal. Brumbies will play some games in Melbourne. Can't see the ARU moving away from prioritising high performance programs and concentration of talent given the Wallabies are the cash cow. They'll simply argue that Australian rugby was strongest when we had 3 teams, and that it's the financially sustainable option. And if that is or becomes unsustainable they'll go to 2.

Whatever the Kiwis are expecting will probably happen.
Agreed without hesitation, but only if we are stupid enough to follow them.

I am about ready now to cancel my Foxtel subscription which only had for the super rugby but as nothing super watching oz sides feel time would be better spent watching a Shute shield match on Fta every week and going to odd Shute shield game.The market is both. The lack of fans and viewership would suggest it is the truth.
Three home games this weekend = three losses against teams we would have reasonably expected to beat if our teams were in any way genuinely competitive and the fact that they were really not in any of the games (despite what some Brumbies might say they never really looked like winning its like Michael Hooper saying the scoreline of 35 - nil or whatever didn't reflect how close the game was)

I thought I was a rusted on fan but even I can’t watch this sort of low quality shit week after week by oz super rugby sides. Had enough.time to act and stop waiting for something that seems destined to not go anywhere in terms of improvement for oz super rugby sides as just too broken.
