Todd - I think you're absolutely right about need to improve the Force's exposure in our own local market.

Given the parlous financial situation it's totally understandable that Sinders has reined in the marketing and advertising budget this season. But I think this is precisely where the ARU needs to put its money where its mouth is. If the ARU is fair dinkum about making rugby a national game, then show it by spending some money on raising its profile in WA!!!

As an experiment, I asked all my colleagues today to name just one Western Force or Wallaby player. Not one person could name a Force player and only one or two Wallaby names were mentioned. And these are people who read the back pages before the front ones!!

If we are to survive, someone has to improve the profile of rugby in this AFL & soccer-dominated city and State. That someone HAS to be the ARU.

the missus keeps asking about the badger.
