I'd love to see how @Wb1234 and @Get Rid of The Donkeys justify being anti-Growth?

The Brumbies were created in 1996.

Which is beside the point. I said the Brumbies' introduction hurt the game in NSW and Queensland.

Before Super 12 was created in 1996 there was the Super 10 (1993-95), Super 6 (1992) and South Pacific Championship (1986-90).

Queensland won the Super 10 in 1994 and 1995.

haha, this is due to a lack of tradies and high demand, we are desperately short of housing due to population growth and wealth here. Builders are over committing and cant get the tradies to finish the jobs.

There were 503 construction companies that went bust in Australia up to March 2024, the vast majority being East Coast based.

@Wb1234 has ruled the East Coast as an expansion location.

Wait till he sees the state of the NZ economy

The early followers of rugby rules weren’t not some evangelical expansionists

they were the opposite

they were happy for rugby to die in Manchester rather than it go to rugby league

the northern union were no better re expansion

More post-schism talk.

My point was that the early followers of Rugby rules, pre-schism, didn’t keel over in the face of Association Football and how ingrained it became in the UK and around the world. They spread the game, leading to us getting Rugby League and the NRL.

yeh we are doing our house up to sell at moment and getting tradies in has been a real pain, let alone what they are charging!

The RFU looked down on the working class. So did the ARU.

One of the reasons for this is skilled workers from the east coast aren't interested in moving to an isolated hillbilly state.

As a rule, though, Australians don’t do that. We don’t move states much and we certainly don’t go west. There’s far more international migration to WA (+84,000 people last year) than there is interstate migration (+37,000). Meanwhile people from WA are unusually likely to move overseas, while also being unusually unlikely to move to the rest of the country. Which is another way of pointing out that Western Australia is kind of cut off from the rest of Australia. It is the most isolated city in the world. A three-day drive from the east coast and flying can be nightmarishly expensive. Which is why people from Perth are found more often in Denpasar airport than Sydney.

Buddy you have no clue

there was no soccer or rugby it was all one code

Soccer allowed picking up of the ball

then soccer decided to make touching the ball illegal whilst rugby was played under rugby school rules of picking up the ball

it was just a fluke which areas went with soccer and which rugby

There were multiple sets of football rules, one of which was the Rugby rules, they didn’t all play by the same rules.
The followers of Rugby rules didn’t accept the FA rules and kept promoting their own set of rules as they believed them to be superior, even though the FA rules became more popular.

It wasn’t a fluke at all, things like the FA and RFU didn’t drop out of the sky.

I have to say, kinda relieved that Wellington doesn't have a bid running at the moment - our local economy is on "a trajectory not suitable for aircraft".

The public service is being severely slashed by the new Government's austerity, throwing tons of middle-class office workers on the scrap heap, and the flow--on will ripple across everywhere from hospitality to retail to the trades.

The CBD was already on a death-spiral, thanks to many earthquake-prone buildings (especially leisure/entertainment spaces) being closed.. but this is just adding to the stench of decay in our nation's capital. I think we won't be on the upswing again until the early 2030s, at least.

You’re right, they accepted the FA rules. The RFU, 1895 and the schism, 1907-1908, none of it happened.
