Any update?

I would say a lot of it had to do with not trying to please every club rather just trying to get the best result for the franchise. That's the way I felt the Rays worked out at least. It also helped having Cron coaching the side as he dragged Norths NSW Country contingent into the Rays set up...

Ed Gower if he is still a kid. Will Finley from Norths goes OK as well.

Anyone remember who played the games mentioned above?

Your comments are derogatory the clubs worked for hours just to try and benefit the National game throwing in upwards of 60 k in some instances and you are saying the ARU handed everything to the clubs(olive branches) like it has tried to help the clubs out. All the ARU has done is not fund it...

Why will they choose NRC over Shute Shield? What's stopping the NRC scheduling a Monday game between two NSW sides or a Sunday game. Two games in two days players might do it if the NRC means so much as you explained. Saying that coaches two seasons ago didn't pick players involved in long...

What makes you think Waratah players won't be available. Try tell the clubs that and I reckon the Waratahs will support the clubs over the ARU. Also as a matter of interest the clubs actually have stakes in each of these franchises so they'll be able to do whatever they like.

All I was referring to was the state of origin theory of backing up 48 hours after. I don't think having jobs is the issue here as in NRC 1 they were able to play Thursday nights and it would be expected they would be available on the weekend I assume.

Whats stopping the NRC playing 2 games in a week they are all on contract after all aren't they? I.e Wednesday night/Sunday night

Further to that Norths played a game at Camden in Round 1 assume you were in attendance WorkingClassRugger as an avid Shute Shield fan? Gordon played at Mingara. However minor it is it affects revenue in the end and thats how clubs produce top quality players by providing programs that the ARU...

Super Saturdays as Colts play the same draw. These are clubs not 1st grade sides. 8 clubs are capable of hosting games on one ground at present just looking at grounds without cricket wickets and other complications being involved. To play the Super Saturday they would need two grounds or in...

Interesting side note Norths have been very active in the grade area which considering they were relatively strong last year and with more Colts coming through I would have thought they would reward those guys who are loyal and clearly on the improve. Could be some unhappy players. In terms of...

Premier clubs in Sydney and Brisbane save at least 20 kids a year from playing rugby league by supporting them. You should be thankful.

I also think people from other states would be surprised at how loyal players would stay to the club they are playing for if they reached the Grand Final. Anyway I think the club need to release them to a franchise anyway. And this as Dave has said hasn't been announced anyway.

Cricket is basically the only sport but your also creating the situation of having Super Saturdays to accomodate the whole club at the one venue in February or whatever ridicoulas date you want to start it. I am not sure if many of the clubs are going to be able to have two grounds available at...

Have you ever heard of other sports? It theoretically would be impossible for some of the clubs to gain a ground till basically when they grab it now Mid March/April.

If the ARU told your club to front up with 30 k two season's in a row to fund a franchise with massive risk, withdrew funding, made you shorten your season, made you pay a levy for every player you register and then didn't listen to any suggestion you offered I don't think you would be...

Think one is already there. Tuitakau Kioa
