I've often thought that, upon winning the lottery, I could set up an investment account that puts any returns into our club e.g. Win $20M, put $1M into the fund, generate ~6% per annum = $60k to run the club.
Would more than cover our expenses.
Why aren't all the Good Rugby People doing this with their white collar corporate power structures?

(And, of course, should anyone here have made enough money on PolishChicksRUs.com - please consider setting up an annuity for Renegades Rugby. We only need about $20K so that's a lazy $330K starter)

Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii’s hopes of finishing his first Wallabies tour with a flourish against Ireland are still alive after a positive update on the injury blow he suffered against Scotland. The code-hopping superstar thankfully avoided breaking his right arm -
Did any of you with Stan watch the Australia A games? A draw with Bristol and a big loss to England A wouldn't have been what was hoped for.

Nope, but when you throw together teams you sometimes get this.
I think the "A" program was mainly to support the touring Wallabies, given we're out of time for people to shine at rep level prior to Lions 2025.
If we had a proper third tier that wouldn't have been such a concern IMHO. Right now a lot of our pro players go back to club land and finish up in September, then twiddle their thumbs for a couple of months until provincial preseason.

Probably for the exodus thread or even NFL

Bloody good on them. Should be aiming for the top, and this is but a start.

I agree. Setting goals is important as it allows you to identify the steps required to achieve them, measure progress and adapt as required.
Given SA have fucked off to seek greener pastures where they can win (URC snigger) we need Australia to get better.; competition improves the breed.

@Tim tbh it would be a shame if Fox got the rights back. They were fucking hopeless (Greg Clarke aside) and I much prefer the coverage we get with Stan.
If the federal government has any sense they'll be having a quiet word to 9 about making Stan happen again

Coverage is way better on Stan and from a couch perspective that’s great, however if RA can secure more funding going to a DANZ route then surely they need to focus on that
