    The Las Vegas Thread

    Try having your wedding there last year….Euro basically at parity and Sterling tanked. Gone are the glory days of 2010.

    News Paul Kent charged with domestic violence offences, found not guilty

    Kent didn’t seem to he a rumour monger by the end. He was happy enough listening to his voice by the end. Say what you want about Buzz but he is committed to the shite he writes.

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    Ricky might be a wanker but I don’t care what anyone says, weak gutted dog is a tremendous sledge.

    Laughable excuse, he got off easy.

    Shame, I liked the plan around this.

    RTS returning to the NRL

    You won’t get any big names from the Northern Hemisphere. I could see an All Black potentially. It’s more likely that you could pick up decent juniors from the likes of South Africa with this system. South African high school rugby is an insane standard.

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    It’s because the guy has never heard of it, mate. New Jersey is not Toronto ffs. Why on Earth he’d waste his money on that sort competition is another matter entirely.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Again though, Rogers is different. In that scenario it was the fact that he was travelling all the time that wore him down. It is not unusual for biz travelling to become annoying. Moving somewhere for 6 months or a couple of years is a bit different. The top players are getting £1m ($1.8m AUD)...

    Unfortunately Sky won’t show Anzac Day fixtures despite it being one of the most important days of the NRL calendar! Caught the highlights at lunchtime there.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Unfortunately Super League salaries aren’t really good enough anymore. There is no question that people will travel and work if they can enjoy similar remuneration.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    There isn’t a salary cap here but it’s nothing to do with that. It’s because Leinster are now very well run and have a lot of talent to work with which has grown as participation has. Leinster actually lose a lot of young players now as they don’t have the playing time to satisfy them. This is...

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Why are you posting viewership? The KPI here is broadcast revenue where the NRL absolutely has a huuuge lead. But once again, tv revenue is only 20% of Top 14’s revenue. I have not checked for a while but I’d guess it’s closer to 50% on average for NRL clubs. I know the grant was close to 30%...

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Your post was about the Top 14 dying and you used an article from 6 years ago ffs. On turnover, what a laugh. On top of the Top 14 tv revenue there is European tv rights €30m per season), FFR distributions along with corporate sponsorships which are significant. Toulouse have the likes of...

    It’s nice for a time but I agree it isn’t ideal once you start to have a family.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Are you suggesting that SBW was a superstar on the level he was in Sydney in Toronto? f**k me. 🤣🤣🤣 Good stuff using a 6 year article And what you lot forget- there is money flowing down from International games and European games too.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Not really. It generates far more cash and a lot of the subsidies are from local firms like in Japan. It would be great if it did though as we need to recalibrate salaries down.
