    well yes and no The article said: "Herbert decided to speak out to give Brumbies players, staff and fans reassurance about the club's immediate future, while the long-term vision for Super Rugby is yet to be determined." "Herbert stopped short of making future guarantees" "They have kept us...

    Shute Shield 2024

    I'm not an Eastwood supporter (more the inner city studious type) but over the past 20 odd years I've watched with some admiration how they quietly go about their business. If a coach and some players are no longer at Vimiera, my money very firmly is on that being the club's decision - they...

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    if its a joke its not very funny ABC coverage was 3-5 cameras, professional on staff commentators, full on site ground crew, a quality that was a bench mark for decades - and they published the ratings - unlike STAN who will never tell you, because its just the shrinking captive insiders who...

    Thats the trouble when as you say "you dont think" The Shute Shield was on Free to Air on the ABC for 57 years - no need to remind anyone that covered the only period when rugby has been strong in this country. As everyone constantly says - you can't be what you can't see. The Shute Shield...

    Probably better for exposure for SS and Rugby as well. Without a shadow of a doubt - STAN is just shouting at those already inside the tent

    You left out "and who can actually win a few games here and there".....not everyone flocks to watch a rich loser And Easts are bordered by Randwick and Uni who are both rolled gold certainties to be in

    Forget McLennan for a moment, wouldn't you like a board like the QRU and a Chair like Brett Clark who clearly know what their responsibility is - no matter how tough and maybe unpleasant. Compare that to the weak as P*ss NSWRU Board who just squibbed it on multiple occasions over the weekend...

    I think they want to be - Herbert's statement today that he wants a Club comp up next year surely is some kind of a sign of a mindset change?

    "Whatever happens we must still have some sort of international involvement between the reworked club comp and the Wallabies." Why on earth would you shackle the game to that? The Boomers are currently ranked 4th in the world and the NBL is booming (;)) but with only minimal and tokenistic...
