Concentrating the talent with one less team had more impact.

That would have been embarrassing if they lost a semi final. Almost losing a semi cannot be compared to losing a pool game,and being soundly beaten in a quarter. A poor performance in a tournament would be an anomaly for the girls program. It's business as usual for Friends squad. Did the...

Squad members not playing in Wellington played for the dev squad in Darwin 7's this week. Couldn't win the pool, lost the quarter in a poor effort. What do they say about doing things the same way,and expect different results?

My interpration is that without financial support from ARU,the SRU are free to do what they want,when they want,without regard to the ARU's preferences. What do you think his statement about SRU enjoying their autonomy meant?.

Begg's statement about SRU enjoying their autonomy this year, suggests the draw is more about proving a point,than player welfare.

Their competitors would have bid on the contracts that BLK won. So one would assume they weren't comfortable with the terms that BLK secured. So why would they be keen on these rates now?

He's not a walk up start, but it's between him or Hegarty. So he's close to owning the 12 jumper.

That's not right at all. To describe the Stars as primarily funded by Balmain is ridiculous. The Rams largest shareholder might have not been a SS club, but 3 SS clubs invested in the franchise. Who owns the country franchise? How would they go without the full support of the two 'feeder clubs'?

You can't look at share holdings four years on,to diminish the NRC's dependence on SS clubs at inception. There may well have been 25 submissions/tenders for teams, but many entities were involved in duplicate submissions. All but one SS club invested money into franchises, which was 40% of the...

I reckon it's a good result. Undoubtedly the ARU will demand contracted players bypass the SS & play 1st round NRC. Leaving the clubs to use the players that got them to the finals.

You do that by quoting other Uni's that compete, or partner with clubs that compete in a Premier comp? Again what is the extent of their sponsorship with the Rays? Who would be the driver at Mac Uni ? Their administration or the subbies club? If it's the admin, it will cost as they'll have to...

My point was that Griffith address that by partnering with a Prem club. are you suggesting Mac Uni don't need a partner?

same,but not the same. Who are you suggesting will partner with them?

On the basis of their sponsorship? Anyone know the extent of their involvement? Their men's Rugby is a long way from a high performance environment, they play 4th div subbies IIRC.

Now your just making things up. I'm not sure Pama was even a good defender when he played volleyball :)

I'm against stacking teams at the pointy end of the season,whether it be Soup players coming back to SS or your example. If the SS players were not going to take playing time off local players,there would be no point in participating :) Want to be a big fish in a small pond? Play in the CC...

Who does the scheduling? Brisbane 10's the following week forced their hand,if they had a say, I reckon.

They've announced 11 signings since he was diagnosed. Maybe Godwin is his solution?

Bernie orchestrating things so he has to make a comeback? It's negligent to have those 2 as your only options, unless he has a selection from left field in his mind?

Most ridiculous post in the thread. Your son & his mates are not victims by being limited to 18 round games. As to your question about where does a young bloke go for a game of Rugby, What about the guys you are happy to be benched by the SS blow ins? Why should they only get 14 games because...
