From what I hear there is a national U20 comp being played in the lead up to the JRWC and some games against Pacific Island teams, these may be part of the national comp.

I would like to officially confirm here that I have not put in an expression of interest into having a NRC team. This is mainly due to the fact that I didn't win the $70M lotto last year.

You do realise that I'll take a cut of your payments from here? (20% as I seem to have a monopoly) Also I'll require everyone on my books to take up MMA and fight in the offseason (boxing is so last year). It will keep you fit and fresh and ignite the anger in your bellies. From now on I...

But who? I am happy with the way things sit, even more so now that Link has said you have to play the entire Super season before a RWC.

No he left at the end of last year.

Surely he would be attracted to live in Perth again as the flights to Bali are cheaper than from the east coast?

So is Sam Greene greater than GPS or going there? :)

So players contracted to Super teams but who aren't "Australian" won't be able to play in this comp? Seems like a silly idea. Fringe super players from OS will look elsewhere for opportunity. No more Henry Speight's as they'll look to the NPC for a run and will never qualify to play for the...

To be honest I have no idea who else will be involved. I'm not involved in the rugby side of things, apart from watching o the weekend. Also I've been away for a month on holidays so that doesn't help.

Also the fact that all 7's contracted players have to move to Sydney and I can't see Walker playing at Tigerland any time soon.

For a club like Sunnybank they should be making the top 4 each year. I think the change of coach will help as Damon is very enthusiastic and knowledgable. Hopefully there is some good talent with the likes of Conrad Quick and Benroy Sala in the mix.

From my point of view the Queensland teams need to be run by the QRU or an independent board. In effect the NRC may diminish the role that Clubs play in the lives of players. It will be a bit like the QRL when the Bronco's entered NSWRL. They will become feeder clubs and will never have the...

Think he should have stayed on the wing. Wanting to be a 10 has done nothing for him.

It would have been interesting to see the ratings of the Big Bash if the Ashes were lost. I think cricket is on the rise at the moment and the Big Bash is a great TV product. I'd be interested in how the FTA for the T20 worked. Quite a bit of Fox talent involved. Do they produce it and on sell...

The EOI criteria a vague enough for the ARU not to select any team for whatever reason they want. It would be good to have teams in all the major cities but I can't see the ARU agreeing to it. They don't want teams to be up and running and then asking for financial help. I can't see the long...

Very nice but I can't see it happening in 2014.

Locked in at the Suns by all reports. He went ok during his stint in France. I'd see him as a 12 in rugby. Can play the ball but also strong with ball in hand and tackle like a demon. I always thought he'd switch to lock in League in the Fitler mould.

Confused Xmas and April fools day?

What makes you think NSW Country want a team? They wouldn't have the money and the logistics would be horrendous.

I think Queensland would be better served with 2 teams. North of the river and South of the river. We could field 3 if required but I feel the teams need to be competitive for the comp to be a success up here. Sunnybank and UQ are probably the 2 clubs that could consider going it alone, but I...
