    Reds 2018

    The Reds in this time were the envy of the Aussie rugby world. They genuinely looked like they finally got their shit together. Then Richard Graham came along and unfortunately him being re-signed after a "worldwide search" really hurt them. Not only for on field results, but players...

    Force 2018

    Loving the re-signings. My only wish would be that if the ARU are prepared to pay out contracts if a team is cut, everybody should be getting 4 year contracts!

    "Transparency" at the ARU

    Kind regards from South Australia......

    Australian Rugby / RA

    This is what I don't understand. As people have mentioned, there are always solutions. Pulver and co say we're not competitive with 5 teams. Then up the imports for teams to make them competitive. (In before "but Cpt what about the pathways for Aussies!!111 lol" .Well dropping a team has...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Bit of a kick in the balls for the Force if true. If that's the case it doesn't seem like the players feel that Perth will have a team next season...........

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Completely agree that the NRC is better than a Club Championship. To be fair though, how do we know such a gap between Shute Shield and Pindan and Dewar shield teams exists when they have never played together? If the funding was there, I would love to watch a comp like this (as an addition...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    ^^^^ As an aside, we saw Livingstone from Balmain get Drew Mitchel and The Caveman from France to don the club socks and make cameos. Imagine a strong wealthy club getting the likes of Johnny Wilkinson or Brian O'Driscoll to make a season cameo in their primes.*** I bet all the Poms or...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I was reading a comment on The Roar (dangerous I know) which made me think. If Soup did completely fall on its arse and we had player from 5 countries all pushing for contracts in Europe or Japan, when would the markets reach saturation point??? The A League will continue to be a feeder comp...

    NRC onwards and upwards

    Thanks I was going to say the same thing. With our current Super Rugby set up, the best method is to have a good quality 3rd tier with the best players in the country playing to be ready for the next level. Without Super Rugby, the next best model is the AFL where each state has a club comp...

    Chiefs v Reds, Rd 11, Sat May 6th, 5;35pm AEST

    I think the Red are a perfect example for Oz rugby, that just as a great coach can take a team and lift them (Link, Jake White) a shit coach can tear down all the hard work done.....

    Chiefs v Reds, Rd 11, Sat May 6th, 5;35pm AEST

    Ahhh you're giving me pain right in the feels now. I'd give my left nut to get a coach like Link back in Oz rugby these days...

    Waratahs v Blues - Round 11, Saturday 6 May, Allianz Stadium

    "Great news everyone! The ARU has just announced that the NSW Waratahs have just broken an Australian attendance record yet again! The 'Tahs have managed to get 90,000 fans to North Sydney Oval! Australian rugby is still going strong. Move along now, nothing to see here...."

    Found this article from 2015... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11450491 A few snippets.... ".......There is no real, desperate incentive for the franchises to fill their stadiums, to compete in a market, to find ways of keeping great players, because the...
