The "Clubs" is a huge beast and dont seem to have any united voice (unlike the players).. Not really sure what collective view of the clubs is about the administration. But at least the SRU clubs (and I knowledge far removed from the subbies and country clubs) seem to be supportive of the...

Quade has put his hand up to play League. Simple game plane for the opposing side, Can see some big boys running straight at him.

I had to google it. Went over my head. Thought it was Scomo mistype

Thought they were trying to involve the Force. Where did that information come from? I am quite sure the Force could must muster some recruits if required for depth

BH, its all self fulfilling. Super Rugby doesn't rate because the masses don't know anything about it. Its been locked behind a paywall. Womens sport was assumed to be of no value. It wasnt until it was promoted and given some FTA airplay - they found there was interest and it can rate...

I am enlightened now. Yep they crapped it.

Sorry to reply to myself, but found the numbers from last years thread for the Aug Bled in Auckland I think. FTA viewership is over double Pay . We need these FTA eyes 554K channel ten 248K Fox Wallabies vs all blacks.

I agree with what you say. But the Kodak comparison is not a good one. Yes the decline curve is the same, but its a pretty common curve for lots of graphs. AUS coronavirus curve is supposed to be similar as well, at least lets hope. Kodak did not adapt to digital technology. Clear and...

I dont think the FTA partner has ever had rights to a Live broadcast in prime time, its only been replays. We need a match of the round (or 2) shown live on FTA. Am I right in saying that more people watch the Channel 10 coverage of the Wallabies than watch it on Fox?? If so, we lock...

The point I was trying to make is that Super Rugby has NEVER been LIVE on PRIME TIME FTA. Had we had a committed FTA partner promoting and showing a Match of the round LIVE from the beginning maybe Rugby would be a popular sport and still rate. We will never know, because it didn't happen...

It is a Vicious Cycle of Doom. There is no FTA (never has been) for Super Rugby therefore No promotion of the game to the masses therefore NO INTEREST, No VALUE. Same could have been said about televising Women's sports. The reason it was never done was it was thought no one would watch it...

They did play a double header of sorts with a Central Best side playing a Sydney Uni Side, quiet entertaining but not too many stayed to watch

it would only be relevant for Sydney city and Brisbane city home matches. In the past NRC starts after the SS final, so there was never he opportunity. If the Wallaby and regular Super starters are all to play NRC (unlikely they would be available for Club in any case) so the 2 could run...

I think Raelene is here for a bit longer. If there was any truth in it, they would have acted by now and very quickly. Today, Easter Thursday at COB would have been the perfect time for such an announcement. Fox just blowing wind up their own backsides. Its pretty clear they had lost the...

S Moore wasn't too shabby

I didnt mind Stook's idea. The 5 franchises and a Barbarians side (being The Rest). 3 games each week allowing for a Friday/Sat/Sun game. A home and away for each side and then a final. The possibility of running a Trans Tasman/Pacific series after that would exist. There certainly should...

Agree with most of your post. Do the Force play at both Super Rugby and NRC? Or do the Spirit live again?

Was going to organise a Welfare check on you.

Well there must be at least 1 director on the board that is leaking like a sieve. But we know there is unanimous support for RC

Lindommer, Ireland run an ALL IRELAND League with a total of 50 clubs involved (includes Northern Ireland). There is 10 clubs in each level and there is promotion and relegation between each tier. Division 1A is the top competition and would be the closest they have to our SS or Hospital...
