$2000 - New playing kit (jerseys, shorts, socks assumes 25 players)
the club pays for socks and shorts? our player have to buy them, this allows for the guys that have played before and dont need yet another pair of shorts or socks
who does your jerseys? 25 jerseys was about $1500 for us last year, that was BLK and we've just gone to some small company id never heard of (S-Trend) so hoping even cheaper

We charge $150 for rego and assume a guy will need a pair of shorts and socks in that. Doesn't always happen but then you have some guys who need replacements a couple of times a year.
It evens out.

@NTA thats so cheap, i dont think we cover basic costs at $150 let alone gear

And our collection rate still isn't that great.
Guys know that you've committed to 2 teams, and (surprisingly) they can count. When they see 20 guys at training, they know they can get away with murder. Probably time to start forfeiting games if that's the case.
Like I said: this isn't a cost-covering exercise. We get about $15k in pub raffles during an average year but only a few thousand in sponsors. Maybe another $5k in grants if I get them in on time. We break even most years, but just before COVID a couple of us on the Committee were slush funding the club for a few weeks.
Those aren't all our costs BTW.

23-year-old Wallabies prop Angus Bell suffered his third foot injury in as many years last weekend against the Brumbies.
Although an exact timeframe regarding his return remains unclear, Waratahs sources say he will miss the rest of the Super Rugby season and is unlikely to be back in time for the Wallabies’ season opener against Wales on July 6.The latest setback comes a year after Bell had a bone removed from his toe to resolve the issues.
Bell told his Waratahs teammates and coaches that he heard a “pop” in Canberra on Saturday night during his side’s 40-16 loss.
Former Wallaby Stephen Hoiles on Monday said on Between Two Posts that it would have to be considered whether he’s best served switching to the back-row to alleviate some of the pressure going through his toe.“I heard a bit of talk that they’ve got to go and look at how they fix this toe long term,” said Hoiles
"He puts a lot of pressure on the injury that he’s got when he’s scrummaging, so is there a thought process that he might not be able to continue to play prop?"

Well, if you thought Ozzie SR teams struggled for depth, is about to get far worse. Why play in Oz, when you can't earn a shed load more overseas, possibly for a good or winning team, and still get picked for the wallabies

have to say...was surprised the crowd at aami on the weekend was more vocal than i would have thought for the size, its another example of i think they could have made things look much better if they hadn't opened the whole stadium, would have made one side look quite full i think

@Kiwiwomble AAMI Park has excellent acoustics. A small crowd can make a lot of noise

Have also noticed the new SFS generates a bit of noise with the small crowd.

Four years after getting a taste of international coaching, Geoff Parling will return as the Wallabies’ new lineout coach.
The Roar can reveal the Rebels assistant, who coached alongside Dave Rennie in six Tests during the 2020 campaign, is set to be unveiled as Joe Schmidt’s latest recruit to his coaching team in the coming days.

Herbert said Rugby Australia was concerned about New Zealand and South Africa formulating a plan for old-fashioned tours in 2026 and 2031, which would lead to an eight- or nine-game tour being played during the Rugby Championship window.
It would mean a truncated Rugby Championship for the Wallabies and Argentina, which would mean a reduction in the much-relied upon Test revenue. Herbert said Australia would be looking for compensation if it was to approve.
Do SANZAAR decisions need to be unanimous?

@Tim Maybe they'd be better off doing a test against Turkey?
That reminds me...
What happened to our old mate who lamented any sort of rugby where Australia was likely to lose? Can't remember his/their name... bat-shit crazy. Hated Bledisloe - "because we always lose - so why do it?". Would fucking love Aus-Tur ANZAC Day test. -

Not sure if they do, but not sure SANZAAR could stop teams doing tours etc.
It's actually interesting article about Herberts ideas, not saying I agree witrh them, but he rightly talking about what he thinks is good for Aus rugby, which is as he should. Also is honest in hiw assesment that Aus rugby isn't really an attractive marketing package at moment, so there is more money probably to be made with matches apart from them? -

Jeez insolvent trading for years, and that's from before covid
“My preliminary view is that the Company may have traded whilst insolvent from 31 December 2018, and that it is likely that all debts that remain unpaid were incurred which could result in an insolvent trading claim exceeding $16.8m.”
