Refer back to point 3 of my initial post about it Stop being your usual shit stirrer self, seriously it gets old

Don't start this shit, ANZ Championship was semi-pro it did exceedingly well, the next logical step was a full pro comp

Look at the end of the day i guess at least some people are enjoying it. Unfortunately it looks like i just wont be one of them

Australia had the talent to fill the teams and were the dominant nation in the partnership with NZ 8 teams is a hell of a lot more than what we have now Pro Netball has been rapidly rising in popularity regardless of the type of competition, the reason they changed was that they got a better...

Like ive said i see Super AU as a joke, like why bother it's a fucking laugh. It's a drain of resources And if it's done like it was this year, all the bloody time and energy goes into making AU happen, marketing etc to the point where TT is the afterthought. I'd like to ask you a question...

yea i totally get it But at the end of the day its a high level rep competition and we can't seem to have a gentlemen's agreement where we don't fuck each other over with poaching so something a bit drastic needs to happen

It’s a pretty simple fix Unless you live in a clubs LGA, you can’t play for them. If you want to extend it a bit, you can also play for the club if you work in the area but need to have worked there for 1-2 years to ensure clubs just aren’t setting people up with jobs left right and centre...

Im not sure Quade would be willing to go somewhere where he isn't a starter? I'm sure there's plenty of pro teams where he'd still be a walk up Although as a Quade fan i do quite like the idea

I did preface this by saying i believe we should/will have a TT with free player movement Even if we didn't, yes i would be far more content with that. Although i think you're doing the Reds, and to a lesser degree the Brumbies an injustice by saying they cant win a TT in the next 5 years

I didnt make that assumption Although i think its true, with some obvious outliers. Newcastle Knights are notorious for being shit/having a good supporter base.

its not just the length of time....... I don't have any assurances, but if we gave Super AU a crack in its fullest why not give TT in its fullest a try? Your wanting to hit & stick to a product with mild success at the expense of a competition that no one ever gave a proper chance to reach its...

100%, it's also about recognizing why these tv stats may be favorable too . Super AU may very well be the way forward but... How do we know these tv ratings aren't because of *The STAN deal *Covid & the Aussie public wanting sport as a result *Would TT have fared better if the same amount...

I’m not dismissing it, I’m questioning it’s validity, which based off one sample size and large mitigation external factors is very fair, don’t you think? I think a very large portion of engaging that 90% can be done through starting to get fair dinkum about marketing and junior participation...

So until 25 at a min we are stuck with a 5 team super AU comp? No thanks……. I think it’s crazy optimistic of you that a Lions tour/a hole World Cup will bring back the number of players needed to to justify what you’re saying? How many do you expect to return?

Like I said in one of my previous posts, those ratings are useless, there’s too many outside factors. I’m surprised so many people are rushing to use that them as an example, I get it’s all we have to use atm but surely you recognise the flaw in using them in a argument? Nah I care if the...

Well the question if we do expand to 8 is; If they are Aussie teams where is the money coming from? If it’s overseas teams, which ones? How is talent going to be spread? How is talent spread going to be managed with keeping the credibility of the competition? How are we going to attract...

To be honest I prefer that to playing in a crap Super AU comp that means nothing, personally I feel like it’s the definition of a Mickey Mouse comp But I don’t think our trans Tasman results will be as poor for much longer. RA has started to put some real investment into our pathways and...

I just don’t think short term Super AU provides you with any of those things. I genuinely don’t, I think we were lucky it was a covid year and the season was timed pretty well so that we got the level of interest that it did. All the data around popularity etc is useless given the mitigating...

Good bit of spin by the Jurno for someone who hasn’t even played super rugby yet

Even if it progresses and expansion happens We’re seeing the negative effects on the big bash with a small comp, inferior talent. It’s on a downward trend from its initial success I don’t know how super AU is expected to succeed in comparison with a more saturated market, less money, less...
