Given we did so well out of the Lions tour this really is the cream on top isn’t it? Ticket sales and plus I am sure the qld and WA govt paid big bucks to get games in Townsville and Perth respectively.
would love to think it flows over to super rugby. Did someone here say Reds membership has been selling very strongly ?

We haven't actually won anything yet.
Obviously seeing improvements but the records will show we still lost the Lions series. Per usual - it's going to come down to how we play against NZ and whether we can knock them off to grab TRC and the Bledisloe. Even the most repugnant rugby detractors can't spray the Wallabies if we bring home some tangible silverware.

Wallabies are 4-3 this year. Went 6-7 last year. Be silly to proclaim them fixed but they seem to be steadily improving.
8 Tests left for the year and I reckon they will go 4-4 but I'm hopeful of 5-3 and finish 2025 with a 9-6 record which would be huge given their position at the end of 2023.

When I say thay are 'fixed' (note the inverted commas) it is more that the structure, systems, player development, financials, depth and result trajectory are all heading in the right direction. I am not saying we are world beaters - rather I think the majority of our problems have been identified and are in the process of being, or have been 'fixed'. Time will tell.
We have another 8 games ahead of us..
ARG
NZ x 2
Japan
Italy
England
Ireland
France
We are probably a certain to win Italy and Japan, so worst case we will end of the year 6-10 which would be a terrible result. 10-6 would probably be best case, but I hope I am wrong. That would require us to beat ARG and one of the NZ games plus 2 of England, Ireland and France.
Anyway - we now need to 'fix' supe.

I think the Wallabies can carry momentum into a sold out Sydney and the Argies have been on the road a while now. I reckon the Wallabies can split the NZ games. That's 2 wins and then I'd pencil in Japan and most likely Italy but they have a fiesty pack. I'm backing them to win 1 of the 3. They won at Twiks last year and surprised us so why not Ireland potentially. Only went down by 3 last time right?
Teams now have a bit of pressure with Aus riding an up wave with still not huge pressure being a rising side as opposed to top sides with massive expectation to take care of business.

I know Schmidt hasn't won a WC but say just for arguments sake the Wallabies did that and won the the TRC and Bled which includes a win at Eden Park, went to No.1, has a win at Ellis Park as well.
Would he be in the GOAT Coach argument considering what he did with Ireland?

Yeah easily. Winning the Bled is probably harder than winning the RWC.
