    How much does it cost to build a Rugby Field?

    Say you already have one, but it's crap and doesn't drain etc and you wanted to basically rip it up and put 2 in. New lighting required. What's a ball park cost? 500k? A Million Per Field?

    Ballymore Redevelopment

    So, I thought a thread to discuss where it's at, how it's progressing, links to concept plans, what is going to happen there etc would be interesting. I'll start - I know nussink! I saw a picture in the Courier Mail once that had a concept plan that looked tres cool, I saw that the local...

    Mexican Wave not extinct, just endangered. Small pocket clings to life at Lang Park

    All 3 of my kids saw their first Mexican Wave at the REDS game on Saturday night. We were all in different parts of the ground, so the experience was somewhat different: Middle child, eldest son and known on his u11 Rugby team as the Prop with Wings or The Enforcer. Sitting with his mate and...

    Rugby and the Media

    What is with the relationship Rugby has with free to air media? For example, this morning, I'm watching the Today Show on 9 as I get ready to leave for work and there is a segment on the "footy" this weekend with some fat guy talking about league and Ackermanis talking about the AFL. Nothing...

    3G and Mobile Data at Games - is there a "bottleneck?

    How does it work? Last night at Suncorp my phone would not do anything that involved Data and was dodgy with texts and calls but I had 4 bars of signal and 3G lit up according to the screen. Its an iPhone 4s on Optus. Does the local tower just get overwhelmed with high volume use from a single...

    Too many penalty goals

    I saw a comment on a thread at the Roar that there were 80 attempts at penalty goals in the first round of Super Rugby. Average 11 per game. Is that right? That seems like a lot even for the start of the season with Refs in Crackdown mode. What can be done to clean this part of the game up...

    Rebutting the "RU is the Devil" arguments from League fanatics

    Being somewhat disinterested in the history of sporting codes beyond very basic facts about their evolution, I have recently been given some edumacation by various League fanatics about the horrible way Rugby has treated League and apparently continues to do so, all over the world. I've gotten a...

    Alternative/Renewable Energy

    I thought a thread on Alternative/Renewable Energy would fit well in the nest of topics like Climate Change, Carbon Tax, Nuclear Energy etc. There is so much noise out there about Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydro, Tidal/Ocean, Biomass, Biofuel etc. Can it provide Baseload, is it economically...
