PS-hoping for an SA side next year. No not a team made up of saffer imports either...

A long tweet... How can they justify Perth playing in ADL? It really defies logic. Sure they want to promote the game there but at the expense of another emerging rugby markets team losing a home game? What's up with country playing a home game in Brissie? Cost grounds maybe? I played in...

Is it possible to be this sad over one bit of news? Man I'm depressed! I really hope he does make it back next year...

Black day for Aussie rugby. The badger leaving (with some good reasons) is terrible news. I was hoping he would be at the forefront of the marketing campaign for the NRC even though he probably wouldn't be playing in it.

What's going on? Someone wants to run the show and others not having a bar of it? Seems very strange 2 have pulled our and SD going that way too. Huge part of Sydney not being represented if it goes pear shaped. Someone has said rams are '"too big to fail" but could be on the cards...

Jersey missing and Wiki page taken down. All change at the stars-including the pretentious name! Lets hope for Fleet? Maybe not...

Something's happening this week...

Finally some news for QLD! Was starting to worry it wasn't happening for them. Saving themselves a lot of doubling up too. Thinking they will be better off financially than some of the others. Now for some promotion and marketing...

Now I wish I had got onto this thread earlier! The player drain will stay steady. The player supply will increase with my pet comp the NRC starting. Just hope it's given time to bear fruit. Won't carry on about France' performances and t14 ruining their national side as its been done ad...

Wilko, Chabal and O'Driscoll...tell him he's dreamin'

Hi Waussies, Any news from WA? Pek made the Wallabies as did NC for the front row. As for the NRC side, with Longbottom off O/S the Spirit will have to blood some local talent possibly. Who's the best from the Pindan League? The rest of the side should be Ok. I don't think the guys have a...

Hi Guys and Gals, Just to weigh in on the 2 city teams debate and ground sharing etc. AFL's Freo and WC are a good example. WC were an established side when Freo turned up and they shared a ground. They had no problem getting supporters (usually the underdog followers). The problem with Brissie...

Starting the season in the potential growth areas is key in my book. Perth Melbourne GC/Toowoomba, Western Sydney should all get a game for the opener games. Will have to see. Anyway, what's the story with massive stadiums hosting games that will be mostly empty? Surely it will cost more and...

Draw shortly I'm told. Who gets the first bye? My guess is Perth or Melbourne with QLD having a derby. Mid week games a cool idea...

Sorry to disagree but we need that marketing now. The whole point of this competition in most people's view I speak to, is to grow the pool of players in Australia. Now it needs cash at the end of the day to work, and getting the punters into the games and watching on TV (don't get me started on...
