Are you friggin kidding me?? Six years on and Victoria still hasn't come good with their Rugby Centre of Excellence??? that was one of cornerstones of why the rebels were favoured. Just reinforces the position that the whole process in 2017 was a complete and utter farce. I'd be gloating in...

yep, the Tahs vs Brumbies was a cracker!

I was quite surprised how few turned up. Bit disappointed really

Or use his own nous based on the simple observation that a player was lying unconscious on the ground for a significant period of time and needed to be removed after a seemingly unremarkable passage of play?

so..what is?

This has been going on since at least 2015 from memory..How the Hell can RA justify granting significantly less than Victoria who not only have fewer players, but they are contained in a nice little geographical area?

Maybe a dumb question..is Christinao Tizzano related to Carlo?

I wonder if the South China Tigers are returning home given recent developments in NZ

I'm not disagreeing with much of what you are saying Slim, except with your presumption that the Force will always be a feeder to the Super teams. RA's message is not clear and full of paternalist platitudes . Castle says that Force players are eligible for Wallabies selection, but then Rennie...

OK, How can I say this in a way you'd understand? Believe it or not, there are five professional rugby union teams in Australia, one just doesn't happen to be involved in Super Rugby. Sure, the standard of play isn't as high, but it attracts and produces a decent number of good quality...

Yes, but again, this was to RA's benefit - the WA government had to pay for the right. Victoria did too, but they got a Get out of Jail card for the Rebels thrown in too. Sorry Slim - I can't tell whether your being flippant or not.

You're right, Castle isn't saying the right words either

Hmm..what's so bloody annoying about Johnson's comments I hear you ask? Where do I start? Taken in conjunction with Rennie's decision to fly right over Perth on his recent visit and ignore the Force (despite there being a direct connection to Perth), it simply reinforces the message that Rugby...

Loving it! I'm not quite sure how much to read into Twiggy's statement - he certainly knows how to tap into the passion of WA Rugby supporters. I certainly support Stooke rejoining the RA board. With Clyne leaving, it would certainly be a good sign of reconciliation with the West. Regardless...

I can’t see GRR and NRC merging – they are two separate beasts with completely different objectives. I could certainly see a relationship between Super Rugby and GRR evolving in the future as the quality of GRR improves – a promotion/relegation concept does come to mind. This of course...

Let the Games begin! I wonder if John will be invited to the RA corporate box?

APD vs HKT now streaming on SBS https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/sport

Now isn't this delicious? Not sure there will be too many sympathetic posts from Force supporters on this topic. Love the Comment from the Rebels boss "RA needs to push for a competition structure that best suits Australian rugby and the sustainability of the Australian Super Rugby...

Not sure about rugby public, but rugby system may be more accurate. My cynical, bitter side hopes that the remaining Super side and Wallabies have another year of dismal crowds and performances, not to mention catastrophic financial results, if only to validate the POV that canning the Force...
