The Reds and Tahs wouldn't be scrapped per se. They would revert back to being the primary rep teams. Rebal Man's other points are valid.

Odd having Muirhead as vice captain. Not that he's not up to it, just that the skipper is a back also. I would have thought Bobby V would be good for the gig.

I saw an ad on Ch 9 last night. It was a pretty decent length, maybe a minute

yes I was referring more to the discussion re the correct terminology for sporting codes

Must be a slow news week.

Yep, full up now. Well done crew. I suggest we do most of the comms through the FRD messaging facility to accommodate the Reddit lads. However, is everyone OK with 7pm AEDT this Thursday for the draft? and I'll just leave it at Fox scoring unless others suggest something else

Righto DCT, do it. there are 3 spots left.

In the near term that would be an inevitable outcome, not necessarily a bad one from the Wallabies' perspective. Over time the objective would obviously be to grow the competition and keep more players on our shores, funded via an ever increasing TV deal.

Occam's Razor. If we are going to do away with SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) then just start with SRAu and build from there. At least the 6 teams (incl Drua) in that comp would actually have some degree of tribalism. 1st phase would be to add a reserve grade and 'colts' for each franchise, 2nd phase would then be to...

You are obviously angry, and that's fair enough. The preference is of course a professional team in Melbourne, and perhaps that will somehow happen. I was participating in a discussion where the assumption is there isn't one.

I’m not criticising Victoria here. The point is their players will need a new pathway to a professional team as their own one likely will not exist anymore. I’m merely offering up a solution, and I’d be surprised if the same one isn’t also tossed around the RA boardroom. Anyway, I have no...

Well no, they are quite capable of developing their own juniors. There just aren’t enough of them coming through the system. Similar in Victoria.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The solution here is for Victoria to be incorporated into the Brumbies pathways system. It makes 100% sense from a geographical perspective and also to increase the number of players coming through their own system. Some vocal Brumbies supporters...

Taking advice from the wallabies ones by the looks of it

Sorry Woody I missed your earlier post. Here are the details of the league if you or anyone else here would like to join in. There are 5 spots left at current, after the weekend we are going to DCT's Redditt mates to fill the last ones. OK I've set up the league. I've gone the 15 players...

Porecki is not Malcolm Marx but he's been in the Wallabies because he's better than the other domestic options. I'm not sure only a half decent tight 5 is pushing: Bell/Porecki/HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)(Holz) Holloway/Amotosero too far around. I'm speculating, but I'm not super pessimistic just yet

I can't work out how to share posts on this joint so I just cut and paste the link in the SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) chat, see if that has any success. I just want 10 active partcipants, doesn't matter to me where they come from.

People, we are organising a fantasy comp as per below, need a few more enthusiastic participants. Disclaimer: it costs money for entertainment these days, the princely sum of 12.95NZP...

sure, we could go onto the SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) 2024 thread too. I just wanted to make sure all here were in or out first

this seemed to die in the arse once the 12.95NZP was mentioned. thanks to the 3 that have signed up, on the hunt for 6 more.
