The death of rugby took 20 odd years of behind the paywall to die. The A-League has the chance now to do something about it…

'Would be a tragedy': Can the Jets find a new owner, or are they about to spiral out of the A-League?

Do you know when else lawyers will take over proceedings? When the CTE lawsuits start to come home to roost…The argument that it’s not needed cause it doesn’t happen very often is the exact reason it should. There’s not too many hits that reach the threshold but umpires need something when it does occur. The rest of the argument presented here is just spin

Leigh Matthews is wrong - the AFL doesn't need a send-off rule, and introducing one would just make things messier

Nope it’s not that high. You literally Googled median house price Hobart and took the first article. That’s for the postcode 7000. It’s something more like 700k houses and 540k for units. Not saying it’s cheap. But it’s significantly cheaper than both Sydney and Melbourne…

Devils ready to raise hell: AFL's newest club goes back to the future with traditional jumper as stadium furore rages on

I feel like any discussion on Tasmania always becomes a random forestry conversation

Great jersey. Deserve to be the side based purely on that

Christchurch almighty: New South Island NRL bid unveils logo, colours, mascot to be ready for 2026 ... and rival Crusaders

The should just move GWS to Canberra and the Suns should have gone to Tasmania.

Exclusive: 'We want $1 billion'- V'landy's bullish vision of expansion, new Cup comp and staggering wealth

The fact that sports can only exist through sports betting is quite sad…I feel like using lines such as ‘most can bet on sports without a problem’ is a fundamental problem that is going to slow down important reform in the gambling space.
Also, great puff piece. But no questions on concussion and the future of the game once some of those issues start hitting home?

And look how unsuccessful that has been

I mean Digby Ioane Joe tomane and AAC have claims to be as good as Taquiri.

RA reeling and facing a mass exodus of biggest stars - there are three key reasons why they're in peril

Not a prop amongst them. Haas maybe a no 8 but we actually have them. Ponga would only want to play for an NZ side, he said so himself

I feel like tom Wright might have been for a decent price. But probably not worth it. Thankfully there’s no props or locks in the NRL worth getting

So two guys 20 years apart?

The tight 5 are the most important part of any rugby team and I played as a 10. As for match winning outside backs, they’re there. The fundamental skill is speed, can find that anywhere. wingers in RL can’t actually defend. Watch a game and see how many are out of position.

Yep the tight 5 is what we need. You can find an 11 or 14 just about anywhere.

Nope, we need props.

A good RU game far exceeds a good game of RL. I spent more time watching league up until last year. RU is somehow in Australia guilty of not selling the game at all.

Certainly not parachuting in anymore outside backs

If the RA try to poach players from the NRL. RA can’t win that battle financially.

Because RA is never going to win that battle…

I’ll mark down all the underperforming Reds, Tahs and Force players too?
I’m all for making players perform in Super rugby but the selection table needs to parochialism free

It’s amazing what having a coach who respects what the tight 5 does…
