Yes Malcolm

Parra can only hold half what Homebush can. A Bled needs to be played in front of the biggest crowd possible, bit like State of Origin. It will never be played at Parra SCG a really bad option for many reasons. The new football stadium is years away, if it ever gets rebuilt. And is...

Well said

So where do you suggest we hold the next Sydney Bled?? Concord? Brookvale? SCG?? Or Parramatta? It mightn't be perfect but, its the only big stadium left, And I still enjoy the experience of being in a big crowd even if you are along way from the action

Agree with Abbott maybe as a board member not as CEO, way below his payscale, Remember he used to run the country

Miller or Milner??

Yep, good nomination. dont mind it. I'll nominate S Waugh. IMO the greatest Captain of Aus Cricket. All class

Who else is lining up to employ him? he is a sports administrator Sl*t , 800k would be enough, cant see baseball paying him more, caus that would be next cab. That said, I dont mind the prospect, think we could do way worse than DG.

OK, I take it that is a picture you posted, so I cant copy and paste the relevant bit. But the bit about Twiggy being unhappy about RC failing to sign a deal with Fox, I find hard to believe. Perhaps he is unhappy about the non signing of a Media deal. But I cant see Twiggy being a...

Interesting point you make. There was talk that RA (&RC) were actually willing to take a haircut to get Some super on FTA. Try and grow the interest in the game by giving free access to the masses. But leaks would suggest the deal with Optus and 10 not only achieved this but was also for...

Think you are reading way too much into this. Its a nice gesture by NZ Rugby thanking and wishing RC all the best. Doesn't matter who ends up with the job. Its pretty obvious the only way forward for both unions is some for of trans Tasman comp.

I Just hope that Optus and Chanel 10 have a strong legal position with their bids and can hold RA to the process. They just have to get the game more accessible to the masses. FTA and available to everyone with an optus phone.

why is that a worry?

You can put me in the camp of Folau sympathizers. But I am Far from Cock-a-hoop. This is a disaster for Rugby. Newscorp/Fox has just taken control of the game. Expect the re installation of the Old Boys club, expect more of the same. Fox with exclusive Media rights, rugby continued to...

I agree that how they should have handled the Folau situation. Just sanction him by standing him down indefinitely and wait it out. Either way they had to pay out the contract, may as well keep paying it in weekly installments and hope that he would see sense and take down the post and sign...

For those critical of Eales Great article, They have new blood on the board already and change is being enacted, https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/gobsmacked-eales-shaw-loane-break-ranks-with-wallabies-captains-over-ra-criticism-20200422-p54m91.html

The Tin Foil Hat, now thats a throw back to Hugh Jase. A bit like Hand Sanitiser and toilet paper. Cant buy them anywhere. But I think you know what I was really getting at when I was referring to being on Rupert's Payroll.

Well it might be lucrative if you remain on Rupert's payroll.

It really gets me that the chorus of ex Captains and the rest of them baying for Blood because of years of Bad management. And they are calling for change. Yet the current management are actually trying to instill some change. But it seems these are the changes that they dont like, hence the...

Great Post ILTW, It would seem the 11 captains are a puppet move by Fox/News. I think I know why there is no detail about how the Magnificent 11 are going to fix all the problems (excepting for a bit of waffle about more for Clubs and grass roots). I am expecting if their coup is successful...
