The reason for the investment has more to do with the limitations of the 15-a-side competition structure. 7s allows a club to take their brand where ever you want in the world and play who ever you want instead of the same old teams in a competition that the governing body fails to invest in and...

The academy positions are all that is left and there has been no roll out of information from the ARU yet. Apparently players had to be nominated by a franchise but I am not aware of any contract offers yet. Same goes for 7s.

Interesting weekend with all of the losing teams from last weekends Major semi-finals going down. Be interesting to see if all these emerging teams will be able to close the gap on the top teams that have had a weeks rest.
