There are 3 weeks marked trails in the document I saw. I guess it is up to each club to make arrangements that suit them best. 1 team will have a bye the first week, my understanding is it will be Easts so they can play Sydney Uni.

Just having a look at the membership now. There is also a cotton polo that you can buy as a member too. Looks pretty good. The Reds may end up getting a bit of cash out of me this year.

I think the teams should be run via the QRU. Take away the perceived power of the clubs and hand it to someone else.

When you add Albany Creek to the GPS figure, they were once a feeder club, it becomes a huge figure. Also Brothers have just had to find more space to facilitate teams this year in the juniors so rugby is growing. Back to Premier rugby though. No news on dates for the season? Anyone here high...

TT my old friend. I think he was referring to clubs that can financially hold their own.

Beale to take Lilo's spot on the bench as back up 10/15. Kurtley has some issues but playing rugby isn't one of them. His return for the Rebels this year had everyone calling for him to be back in the Wallabies. He can cut a team apart and that would be great to have on the bench. In saying...

I think the Wallabies should play Canada or USA every second year on their way to Europe. It would be good for their development and for the Wallabies to hit the ground running in Europe. Also it could attract some corporate $$$. Quite a few AB's in the USA currently doing some work for AIG.

http://www.redsmembership.com.au/130_Year_Monument This is a really cool idea. If I pay the $10 I'm going to folk out $250 for a jersey with my name on it. I expect they could make a killing off auctioning off the actual playing kit.

GPS have just shy of 1200 juniors. Easts are just over 900, I think Easts were larger before Riverside split away.

Meeting tonight at QRU so hopefully a draw out tomorrow.

With Rio 2016 looming I think that we are a great medal chance in the Women's comp (any chance they could play it in Dubai as our women seem to love it there). The men will continue to be problematic. Hopefully the centralised structure, with players all moving to Sydney, will help them to be...

Yet all the talk is that people don't want Sydney Uni to have a team? Surely we should encourage them to invest in the development of Australian rugby?

I see GPS are advertising for a CEO. Paying good money too by the looks of things. Sounds like it was written with someone in mind. Not sure how a successful playing career with representation at the highest level is relevant to a CEO. http://www.seek.com.au/job/25641695

And this has to be taken into account too. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/nrl-beefs-up-second-tier-with-108m-injection-20131123-2y2j5.html

I think just one grade to start with. You can grow it in the future. There seems to me to be a lot of backwards thinking in regards to this National Comp. If a club is happy to pay it own way to enter surely that would take some financial pressure off the ARU. If a team want to be in the...

Kooga are selling off all their old Kooga stock on the GC Saturday week, 7 December. The advantage for fans when a company rebrands.

Why would the ARU do this? They want to grow rugby in Australia and produce more Australian eligible players. Also this comp has to be separate from the Super B comp played earlier in the year. I think an 8 team comp would work well as you could have 4 games a weekend. Friday night, Saturday...

I think you need to start with 8 teams and you can look at expanding in a few years. I think Brisbane could field 3 teams but I'd prefer to have 2 teams who could make the finals that have 3 for the sake of it.

I think it should be an 8 team comp. 2 Bris, 3 Syd, Perth, Melb & Canb
