This also highlights something that needs to be seriously looked at. And that's upskilling players across the board. Now, I cannot remember exactly who it was but a fellow poster here several years back alluded to a program run by Hockey Australia that focuses on upskilling players regardless of...

Could be done tomorrow fairly easily and would add two more competitive teams to the structure. Ideally if it did happen they'd look to make it a 10 game season as opposed to the current 5. And just to counter the potential comments of kids and games in terms of commitment. Well, I can tell you...

Or the reason we should look to grow out the schedule of this competition by having NSW and Qld run two squads each and develop the HP elements around these squads leading into and during the competition.

Neglect is the nice way of saying 'couldn't give a shit'. As for the regional comp thing. Someone some time back proposed a restructure of the subbies comp based on region. With the exception of the clubs in the 1st Div. Which would span the city for the sake of competitiveness. But from 2nd...

I wasn't suggesting it as an actual option. Shiggins posted about a more NFL like set up and I just posted one way it could be done.

Lol. I'm fine. It was just a thought in response to Shiggins 'NFL' comment. That said, it could actually be an interesting option for a Cup competition. Or a World Club Championship.

I've always wondered what a NFL-esque Super Rugby/URC would look like that spanned hemispheres. Essentially you'd have one based in the Europe/African time zone and another in the Asia-Pacific. The Europe/Africa Division would be the current URC plus two more to bring it to 18 teams. While SRP (Super Rugby Pacific)...

As someone born and raised in the city's west. And as someone who resides on the southwest fringe. There isn't the interest in the game to support a team. For a team to work it would require a very substantial investment of time and money. Decades of neglect has ensured that.

That's kind of not the worst idea going. Not sure if 12 is doable but 8 certainly would be. Looking at the U16s and 19 Super Rugby Au I could see the 5 going to 8 if you bring in a 2nd Qld (Reds White) team and 2 more NSW teams (NSW White and Sydney Juniors) and you would have your 8 teams. Something...

Feeling very much the same at the moment.

The salary increase for the AFLW players is huge. Not in terms of money but in terms of an ability to attract and retain talent. I expect the NRLW to follow suit as working with a NRLW player and knowing the level of commitment required (4x16 hour days a week for 20 weeks of the year) it will be...

Sydney and North Sydney. Pretty simple really.

AusSports is literally on the Drua's jersey's.

I might just do that. Though I'll give him a few days to lick his wounds over last nights loss.

Lol. Damn. Would have been fun stirring him about another Roosters player with a Rugby background jumping ship.

Has their been suggestion of Smith? Because if so I have a mate who I would love to rile up about the Roosters losing yet another player to Rugby.

Someone some time ago back when Russia was apparently interested in bidding drew up a format on the T2 forum. It essentially resulted in more games. Four to be precise (52) over the same time frame. But with better spacing in terms of rest.

Hasn't been confirmed yet. Would be a little early in issuing apologies for something that hasn't happened yet.
