    (I think Thorne is in the new Weetbix ad btw)

    You might be right there, but they all look the same to me...




    (By “they”, I mean tight forwards)

    less-attractive male superstars will still get endorsments where their female counterparts wont - or certainly not as many or as much.

    I think that’s a generalisation. Where are Brad Thorn’s endorsements? Because, as a player, he deserves one.

    It took Vettori over 10 years before he got his, and in some circular way you could argue that was the only product that would take him up.

    And I don’t think Fleming’s advertising of heat pumps is based on looks. Not dressed like that anyway.

    Really dumb question coming up:

    Who’s Bryan Spondre?

    I’d suggest Daniel Carter’s Jockey selling career is founded on a little bit more than his ability as a rugby player.

    Interesting that a country that, for so long, saw no nuances in race should find nuances in gender.

    Cheers Joe,

    As a 13 year old I loved that song, and knew it was well, not right.

    For 30 years I'd forgotten about it, and then downloaded it recently.

    It's way out there, and don't they dress like their lyrics?

    But shit those boys could sing.

    I like a woman that's quiet
    A woman that (sic) carriers herslef like Miss Universe
    Take my hand
    Come with me baby to Loverland
    Let me show how sweet it can be
    Sharing loving with me

    Seemed right to drag that up.

  • Field Theory: The Real Deal,

    NRL has a salary cap, so that automatically makes it more even; same with the A-League.

    But the original comparison was between the Currie Cup and the NPC, and I’d say the CC, if anything, is the more even of the 2.

    The overseas eligibility thing is really complicated. The main purpose of banning them is to keep All Blacks in NZ. It’s restraint of trade, but there is logic behind it.

    But now the Carter precedent has been set...

  • Field Theory: The Real Deal,

    No idea about the crowds but it's the most evenly contested comp around (apart from the Isolation Years).

    You were nmisleading there. Hopefully intentionally.

    As for this thread, there is a lot of cross-threading between Tom's solutions.

    1. The NPC idea. Bottom 4 go down. That's given. So obvious and un iversal.
    2. The Super Clubs shifting around. The other 2 countries don't do that; better ways of quelling the Pitchfork Revolution than that.

  • Field Theory: The Real Deal,

    The reason why there are no crowds at Currie Cup minnows matches is because the CC has historically been dominated by two teams

    ????

    With respect Naly, where did that come from??

    Thorough research over the last 5 years worth of competitions?
