I’ve resisted posting on the success of the Wellington bid for the A-league license – largely due to the fact that the over-riding emotion was pure and simple relief.
However, we now have our own Roman even if he is Greek (which I’ve got to say is some of my best work – a pity no-one [...]

By Jingo, those Aussies are smarter than you think!

The Sydney Daily Telegraph had all the facts and figures but the guts of it is that the Waratahs last two games had their lowest ever Super attendance which isn’t super at [...]
