    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Pulver was in over his depth when he agreed to sell the Melbourne Rebels to Andrew Cox - either he lied to the ARU Board about the secret $6 million payment plan to Andrew Cox or he told them about it and they thought: 'yeah good idea'. SO why did he sell it to Cox? Why didn't he hug Alan Winney...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    ^^ I don't agree that Super Rugby has outlived its usefulness. The administrators of the union as a whole have fuc&ked up the business model by downsizing and reducing grass roots entry. The concept of playing across Aussie, NZ and SA teams is terrific, but not one Aussie franchise seems to know how to...

    Rebels 2018

    Anyone seen anything of Henry Hutchison lately? He played in the NRC last year, but I haven't seen him play in the Super Rugby comp this year. Looks like he gave up the opportunity to play 7s for Australia in the Commonwealth Games to play club rugby in Victoria. That's gotta hurt.

    no Genia = no magic. Pretty much holds the team together and without him they are individuals doing their best but not working together

    and an interesting article from Senator Linda Reynolds https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/force-back-how-do-we-protect-other-sporting-teams-linda-reynolds/ If tonight’s much-anticipated Western Force game against the Fiji Warriors says anything, it’s that you can’t keep a good sporting team down...

    An awesome slam from Alan Jones in today's Australian - makes me want to watch Kick n Chase just to see Raelene answer some questions. Penrith collapse is rugby’s latest disaster: Raelene Castle has questions to answer...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    I think its wonderful that the Force supporters have gotten behind their team. The cheap ticket price is certainly an inducement , so well done there and also the band playing to start the excitement off. Well done and have a great night.

    Super Rugby Round 12, Rebels v Crusaders - Friday 4 May @ 7:45pm

    We have a different team and different coach, so the past is interesting but no guide to this weeks' game. Right now, the Crusaders are on top of the table, so it will be a big challenge for our boys to defeat them. NZ teams play for 85 minutes and sometimes it has been said that AUstralian...

    another way would have been to redirect the $500,000 incentive bonus from Mr Pulver to the club. The club has issues , sure, but with financial backing some of those issues may have resolved themselves.

    one way to generate a greater surplus would be not to pay $6 million to privately owned franchises and then try to cover it up with confidentiality agreements. Another way would be to pay each franchise the same amount for their Super Rugby Payments - see 2017 annual reports for clarification...

    grass roots funding would be one way

    Not sure the Senate inquiry report or its recommendations made it to the new RA HQ: Penrith Rugby Club cut from Shute Shield Senate report and recommendation: 4.31 The members who are most substantially affected by the diversion of funds to Super Rugby are the game's amateur clubs. 4.32...

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    ^^^I do watch a lot of football across the two codes and must say I enjoy watching most AFL games especially when they play a tight match and either team could win it. I hate watching games that are one sided - as in a lot of rugby lately. Further, it is a fun social outing for a group of pals...
