From what those I know involved in the competition as far as they are aware it will only be a single round robin played in the same window as currently. The overlap this year was more of a catch up due to Covid. Meaning that in theory at least players can play both Super W early in the year and...

Well, she's not going to the Commonwealth games and there's nothing really on the schedule on any substance for the next few months so she may have opted to chase a pay day in the interim. There's no mention of length of contract but from my understanding most of them at the moment a year by...

Ha. I know it's not the theme of the thread. It's just I actually know a few NRLW players and they're very aware of several current Wallaroos as being prospective targets in the future.

I'm not just talking about 7s though.

Expect it to continue to happen unless we can find ways to provide more opportunities for women in Rugby.

I think in recent times that we've seen what effect limited opportunities can have on the game here. If we had a longer more fleshed out domestic structure that allowed for players to pursue their professional ambitions players like Mack Hansen might still be in Australia as opposed to...

I was referring to length of the season and rest periods.

We've sacked a bunch of people.

Makes too much sense. Meaning the NH will reject it.

Or we could set up an Asia-Pacific Champion Cup conference between Aus, NZ and Japan. Then the winners could play one another to determine an overall Champion. Or the Top 2- 4 go into a finals series to determine the overall winner. No point over complicating things.

Not all that much different to what NH based players have to deal with.

Okay, two new pieces of news. First, WR (World Rugby) is looking to establish a Americas/Pacific tournament featuring the 3 PIs, Japan, the USA, Canada, Chile and Uruguay. The apparent goal here is for it to assume the role of a Rugby Championship 2nd Division with some kind of promotion/relegation...

Investors? These are all Union backed franchises. There aren't any investors. At least not since season one with Los Ceibos. Even the likes of Penarol and Olimipia who are linked to Soccer clubs are almost entirely Union funded. And losing money in professional sports isn't exactly new. Most of...

Actually you're thinking of the Colombians in terms of missing salaries. The stadiums have been mostly empty due to them operating in bubbles due to Covid. The Jags XV aren't the only professional squad. Penarol and Selknam definitely are. Olimpia mostly is and so is Brazil. There is...

That's pretty much what we should do.

I know. I guess what I'm asking is what benefit would Italy get from playing Aus A?

I have a question for everyone. Would Aus A beat Italy? And does anyone think Japan could beat Georgia?

I think the Country moniker is a little too broad for a professional brand. I also don't think we have to maintain the provincial format if we choose to go it aone.

No, what I'm saying is that I don't see the benefit to them running their national squad out against our development team. I thought we'd as a sprt had moved past treating them as T2 at this point. If it's Japan A then there's definitely benefit to it. But for a Union who successfully hosted and...

They have England and France on Nov 13 and 20 so far. And there's still room for Italy and Georgia to add games. They don't have anything during the TRC but they've never had.
