My first game of Rugby watched since the Force debacle.
Having 12 months away from the game helps you see it with fresh eyes. Can’t believe the work Hooper gets through. 12 months ago I could have taken him or left him. How wrong I was.
And if the ARU had any balls they should have said thanks and best of luck elsewhere.
What if his views were anti Semitic? Should we just accept that its his deeply held belief so he is therfore allowed to hold and share it. No thanks, discrimination is discrimination.
Listening to Hugh's rant on the podcast about the ARU today crystallised something in my mind.
Fans have stopped caring about Super Rugby because SANZAR doesn't care about it. They look at the crooked conference system, fixtures producing months during season without a home game, all momentum...
Looking at the tile it has two connector pins on the top which must clip into a DC Bus. The cost here is going to be micro inverters. If you're not across the efficiencies of solar panels, basically if you have multiple solar cells linked together and one fails, it drags the performance of the...
But they can't, because the first team to need one will be one of the favourite children. Probably the Tahs.
Force and Rebels know whats at stake, they won't allow themselves to be first.
I agree the maths seems off, but also remember seeing a tweet where one of the local clubs bought 10 shares, another 7 etc.
I only bought 1, but the other person I've met who bought any, bought 4. One for each family member.
But I'm still suss on the $8.5M figure too.
I was wondering why the transfer to VRU had gone quiet. So it's starting to look like Cox has to decided if he is willing to kick any of his own money in to offload the Rebs to the VRU or stick it out and see if he can get the books to balance so it doesn't cost him anything personally if he...
And what effect does that have on broadcast value? If say we end up with 16 teams and have to go to a round robin which cuts the number of derbys down, are the broadcast partners still willing to honour the original contract value as they are for 15 teams?
Is there definitely an out option to just gift it back to the VRU? I read an article last night from 9 days ago where Clyne stated that Cox could only transfer ownership with ARU approval. Which is a pretty shit clause for Cox as the ARU could in theory obstruct a $20,000,000 purchase offer from...
Look, to merge the Brumbies and Rebels isn't a popular idea. But if you remove the emotion surrounding it, it is the most sensible.
Brumbies will finish burning through their HQ sale cash in 6 months time and Cox doesn't really want the Rebels anymore. But won't offload them where there is a...
You know what Rugby in Australia needs. A big fuckoff draft. Every player contracted to a super team goes in the pot, then we have a live "Hunger Games" style draft night. Maybe we don't make the kids fight, but we at least all sit around drinking beer watching the head coaches make their...
Lance didn't have the form this year that he had for the first 6 rounds last year before he got injured, but he's the most sensible backup 10 choice in his game is more similar to Foleys than Quade's is. He can come in and distribute in a more traditional fashion.
Quade is too erratic for the...
