    League Targets

    Updated reporting now suggests it's actually $500k p.a.

    Waratahs 2024

    As we all know, though, every Super Rugby team can put out a very handy 1st 15, it's the 16 - 23+ depth chart that generally determines who wins anything.... And we've still got big holes to fill at lock, TH and o/s backs if we get any injuries to our top-liners. Looking forward to squad announcements...

    Western Force 2024

    I was referring to Moli specifically, but thanks for missing the point entirely regarding rep selection. Added thanks for the insult. You're a class act mate

    Western Force 2024

    I've heard that player inclusion in representative sides can be severely hampered when you have your franchise booted from the competition and have to start again & rebuild from the bottom up! Player inclusion in representative sides can also be severely hampered by ineligibility .... e.g...

    Western Force 2024

    The reasons/stories are completely irrelevant and nothing specifically to do with the Brumbies. It's about having starting quality players from Australia starting somewhere and Super Rugby clubs then not having to import non qualified players to fill Super Rugby spots. We should not have to have clubs import TH...

    Wallabies 2023

    That's a great sign, but I'd expect there's a large difference between golf fit and test match rugby fit for a fractured scapula

    Western Force 2024

    This is what happens when the local talent is warehoused in some clubs. For example: Rebels now have 3 wallaby TH's in T Tupou, Pone and Sam Talaki. They could all be potentially starting at different Super Rugby clubs. Brumbies have 3 Wallaby hookers and 4 Wallaby locks (if you count T Hooper) Tahs...

    Women's Rugby

    I agree, the big difference however is that the AFL (and FIFA for that matter) were/are making very large profits. Bit more difficult when you're barely breaking even as is the ARU....

    Women's Rugby

    Not sure what your point is here, but comparing soccer to rugby is a bit of apples/oranges.... Men's professional rugby is barely profitable across the world, whilst professional soccer is killing it. Unfortunately the bandwagon Matilda soccer fans jumped off on Wednesday and won't be back until...

    Women's Rugby

    Sadly all the self proclaimed Walleroo (and other female sports for that matter) supporters on here and social media do not actually support them in any other manner than a few virtue signalling keystrokes online. They do not attend the games, buy the tickets year on year, buy and wear the...

    Women's Rugby

    What gold mine? None of the aforementioned women's sports are profitable. They are a financial black hole because paying fans have no interest in paying for the product. Look at the WNBA in the US.... running for over 25yrs and have never been self funding, in fact have made losses every year...

    This Super Rugby Draft proposal thing?

    You could make it work if everyone bought in, players and clubs. A general Super Rugby draft for non contracted players who weren't overly happy with their current offer could opt in and test the market with the fallback being the retention offer they have. The draft could be made quite the entertainment...
