@Machpants I'm nowhere saying that rugby is perfect, players are human after all, but league is notorious for thuggish behaviour in a way that rugby is not.

Admittedly this has regressed somewhat since Craig Gower retired.

The headline is only 50% correct
True, but I'm after commentators who can offer insights rather than calling what I can see. I also don't want them to carry grievances or be constantly negative.
Chieka's coaching experience could be valuable as part of the commentary team. I'm prepared to give him a chance, certainly more than I'd give Campo.

It was a stupid comment that you should probably either admit was tongue in cheek or delete it

I thought it was funny, so is good enough for everyone.
It is the way

@tim Everyone has always said it's the administration at NSWRU that's a monumental disaster. They're half-witted amateurs in a professional business.
There are unions threatening to leave NSW and join up with ACT and Southern NSW. I'm surprised they've stuck it out this long.

Paul Doorn had to talk Central West down from the ledge about 6 months ago. They get nothing from RA or NSWRU but keep paying "participation" fees.
Up in New England this weekend, Inverell 7s only had 2 refs scheduled for 2 solid days of rugby. I got an email this week asking the group for help. Unbelievable.
The problem with being the biggest union: having the most people means having the most dickheads, statistically speaking. NSWRU is all over the shop with the amateur game completely split from the semipro game completely split from the pro game. Then there are the multiple schools associations who fuck with junior club rugby all the time... jeez...
Smaller organisations like ACT have a laser focus on getting their shit together and ensuring their hierarchy is clear. The Reds realised they needed to streamline things and take advantage of initiatives like the NRC to rebuild their success
Davis has to go - retaining Board or ExCo for excessive time works out well for approximately no organisation, ever.

Anyone else tried looking into this? Am I right to assume that if I can't find even a hint of a page to sign up on that the UK is excluded?
