I reckon Rugby is best suited to address concussion issues. Doesn’t have the repetitive 10m plus hit ups of league, nor the 360 degrees clashed of afl and the various elements of the game is its strength, ie lineouts, scrums etc…but continuing to penalise those who do contact the head will be beneficial long term. Rugby in Australia has a dreadful image problem from a lack of free to air coverage, constant saturation by other codes with often ridicule, reports of poor management and a seemingly ever threat of eating ourselves to death from the inside out and not to mention player drain to money markets. It’s frustrating, no doubt, but we’ll be right.

Rugby is losing the long-term battle: What World Rugby must learn from Australia before it's too late

You bloody ripper! From sunny Qld….. GO THE REBS!

'Insane and total stupidity': Drua have two SENT OFF as Rebels score 33 unanswered points to win again

Maybe it’s time for a broader approach to fully appreciate the pathways already formed to include all of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, not just Melbourne. I reckon it’s certainly worth a decent crack. Southern Rebels?

'We've got three pay cheques left': Rebels given glimmer of hope - but the clock is still ticking

We blew it after SRAU was canned.

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

Wow! Another reason to dislike NSW. Thanks Geoff…. Can’t make this stuff up

The Wrap: Good news and bad news for Rugby Australia as Brumbies and Rebels win local derbies

The attractiveness of rugby was that everything was a contest for the ball…. Now a bit predictable like that other game.

WR's mooted law changes are great - but show there's a hell of a lot wrong with rugby in 2024, and that sucks

Not at all. But compared to the Brisbane Lions prelims and state of origin that always sell out, the Reds v BI LIONS are overs. Not for the working class families.

'We need to accelerate': Waugh admits RA behind schedule on Rebels future as tickets sold to ailing club's Lions clash

$109 for a seat behind the sticks at Lang Park for Reds v Lions game. Thought about taking the family, but decided I’d spend the money on a full week up the coast.

'We need to accelerate': Waugh admits RA behind schedule on Rebels future as tickets sold to ailing club's Lions clash

The crossover between a bought franchise jersey and a traditional rep jersey. Beware…. Other sports making representative teams into franchised ‘clubs’ hasn’t really done well in the past.

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

For a young bloke, he’s tough lynagh. Copped a fair bit of attention the week before too against the canes, but got up every time.

'What you permit, you promote': Reds slam late 'cheap shot', HMP set to start ahead of Lynagh in Rebels grudge match

12 percent interest…. Good deal that…

Rebels set to sue Rugby Australia as civil war erupts, Rugby Victoria President barred from summit

Too thin for what????? Tired of ex wallabies pontificating about their little club and not giving a toss about young blokes getting a chance and the game in general. Sydney centric rubbish, without a solution other than making a wallabies squad out of NSW and Qld…. Ohhh…. And we’ll consider the ACT because they’ve done okay….. fair dinkum…. There’s barely enough grog at Milton to get me through this vain diatribe

'Our talent is spread too thin': Ex-Wallabies captain urges Rugby Australia to cut Super teams

Speak for yourself, pre SR days at Ballymore watching Queensland play Canterbury, Wellington etc always drew a big crowd. Then kicked off behind the stand.

Super Round is a celebration of rugby - that's why it should have never been held in Melbourne

Sadly, league was barely existent in Victoria pre Storm, and rugby clubs outnumbered them considerably. Storm sound like the Brisbane Broncos of old, sign every kid up who can catch with a pair of shorts, training singlets, a biro and a packet of chips before they’re cast aside and dreams shattered. Mr Orange and his holistic approach sounds great. Bravo to him and his team.

The Wrap: Code Orange as looming Rebels decision places rugby pathways at risk

If true, this is a shocker

Leaked document says RA out to 'destroy Super Rugby' and 'turn members against each other' as Rebels' pain comes to light

I know it’s likely a given, but green has to be prominent. An absolute lack of green in the AFL

'Hopefully we've nailed it': new Tassie team to launch colours, nickname

Don’t want to be that bloke, but I will be….. can we not just cut them adrift…. There’s been great stories of southern developed players making it to the wallabies. This is an amazing opportunity to retain them in a fair dinkum national club comp. As their SR days are looking vulnerable, let’s look at keeping this essential pathway alive.

Decision time: Clubs queuing up to pounce on Rebels' best as Rugby Australia given warning over in demand Wallabies

You haven’t shown me up. Delusion, over reactions, unwarranted criticism of others and name calling can be signs of things not being right upstairs. In all seriousness, might be time to see a doctor.

Six of the best: The standout options for the ultimate honour in the NRL Immortal debate

No worries. Take it easy old son. Don’t let it get to you. Only games and opinions. Life is too short for being upset.

Six of the best: The standout options for the ultimate honour in the NRL Immortal debate

child sex offence charges, drug use, off field behaviours and a reason why Qlders call nsw cockroaches due to how fans were treated ….. top blokes. Thanks for the late response.

As they say in some parts of the country, you need a blue cap before you get a green one

Warner nominates surprise option to replace him at opener as Pakistan again let Aussies slip through their fingers

The decision might seem tough for Curran, but what’s tough in the real world is a lot different. The captain doubling down for his entitled brat, almost makes him worse. I can’t see how that’s taken out of context. I hope he appeals and gets more time off.

'Didn't expect the stand-off': BBL Pom apologises to ump, 'deeply regrets' controversial incident as ban upheld

Great article. Would love to see them become a powerhouse. So true regarding the eclectic mix of potential followers over there. I love watching the Fortescue Comp. Plenty of local support and a strong comp. RA really needs to look after the West. Vlandysville won’t be far off.

Pressure Points: Cron has his work cut out to make the west a Force in Super Rugby

It’d be good to see a young bloke like Jonte Connolly get some experience. Big body, fast and skilful, plus he’s a Brothers man.

Pressure Points: The Kiss of life? Les has habits to shake at the Reds

Strewth, bloke. Take it easy.

Done deal: Wallabies star signs with NRL powerhouse in brutal reality check for RA at start of 'golden decade'
