show some respect to the forum and start your research by looking back through what has been said before. The thread that would not die: (from the start please) https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/where-to-for-super-rugby.17402/

I wish I'd seen this beautiful flow chart before I opened my mouth.

Not sure this type of inflammatory comment is the way forward.

It’s just not the sort of thing we want to see on the forum

 

[Beer on the hill]

These types really see this shit as if it's high school debate team.

No wonders Australian Rugby is in trouble.

So negative

 

[Beer on the hill]

Usual noises from usual types.

This is what is wrong with Australian Rugby.

Is it? I thought it was it Eddie Jones

I know this Is hindsight but in the 90s when the game turned pro around the world … If the clubs in Sydney eg Randwick, Easts, Eastwood etc had turned professional instead of the state Side (Tahs)…. 99% of these problems we face today wouldn’t exist ..

They were already shamateur.

With the talent we have in this country, (and no salary cap ) we very well could have had our own versions of ... Wasps ,London Irish in Australia …

We're in a shitload of debt, so we kind of do.

Not enough billionaires for French club comparisons.

Mark Di Stefano tore into the administration in the AFR and didn't miss:

Hamish McLennan and rugby’s schoolboy errors

The Wallabies slumped to a historic World Cup loss. It’s time for scrutiny of rugby’s administrators, chief among them chairman Hamish McLennan.

I particularly enjoyed this bit of savagery:

"The “save rugby” plan involves a “festival” of Riverview, King’s and Joeys? Phil, that’s not a plan, that’s a Betoota Advocate headline."

Oversight of the journo not to have Shore as the first school mentioned

You know what. You are right. What Australian rugby is really sorely lacking is more Randwick based rugby.

I wouldn't mind seeing Randwick go the way of Wasps, might finally give us a chance at real change.

Given Angus Chrichton will be there next season, there’s every chance this happens.

He did shit on shore a few paragraphs earlier, I think he wanted to spread the "love"

And what is this supposed to mean?

And what is this supposed to mean?

It means I'd love to see the constant talk of "Randwick rugby" and the idea that "a strong Randwick means a strong Wallabies" confined to the history books, along with the dinosaurs that continuously trot it out. It's about time we left the amateurism in the amatuer era.

Randwick are your Shute Shield champions for 2023. A brilliant development club (for players AND coaches) which is great for Australian Rugby.
