Have just listened to G&GR's Podcast 327 entitled The Last Dance.
This had the Matt & Hugh (Matt Rowley and Hugh Cavill - co-founders of G&GR) and Rugby Reg talking.
They announced:
1. This was the last podcast "until the Wallabies won back the Bledisloe Cup"; and
2. They would be progressively winding back the G&GR site.
It's been obvious for some time that, after 11 years, that Matt and Hugh have been losing interest and have been leaving most of the running of the site to Nick Wasiliev and, to a lesser extent, Rugby Reg (Reg Roberts) and stalwarts such as Sully (Shane Sullivan) - Qld Reds supporter.
As much as we can be critical about G&GR's lack of support for/interest in the Western Force - something they even joked about on the podcast tonight - it still provided a forum for keeping the East Coast informed of what was happening in the West and particularly Western Force/Global Rapid Rugby/Perth Spirit/RugbyWA.
We always had the freedom to create new threads and discuss matters related to the above.
In the past some of us were provided with editorial privileges.
We certainly do not enjoy the same freedoms on The Roar - which has even less interest in rugby west of Eastwood RUFC.
As much as some of has troubles with some RG&Gers it was still a very worthwhile forum and it will be missed.
