I suppose. A minimum of 8 would work as well I guess. But 16 rounds would be fine to.

The Sunwolves are done. Look to find a 6th Aus team and may be that would work. Change Apia and Nuku'alofa to Samoa and Tonga and that'll be better.

Include Hong Kong and ideally a 10th team.

MLR is modelled off MLS and the NHL actually. It's a combination of both. This is just one scenario that could work out. The other being my prefered. A merger with GRR.

My ideal scenario would be a merging of our Super Rugby franchises with GRR alongside eligibility being loosened to having to play in GRR (or whatever it would be called) and going from there.

Kind of different. This would be the professional tier of the game in this country. NRC was always sold as a developmental tier. Which makes things a little difficult in terms of being able to generate interest.

Lang Walker is apparently a Rugby fan. As are the guys behind the F45 franchise. They already have two teams in MLR. That's potentially four.

Bite the bullet and amend the Giteau law to be a mix of Test and Super caps. Lower the minimum number of Tests as long as they've played X number of Super games for current/past (recent past) Wallabies who either currently are or opt to in the near future take up contract overseas. Something...

Not really notice. Well, certainly not from a NSW and Vic perspective. Afterall, we've always given more than what we've recieved from the scheme.

Each run their own competition and then have a Super 6-8 competition involving teams from each plus the Top League.

1) I'd like to see a scenario based largely on the Australian time zones with some notable exceptions. That being the inclusion of the likes of Fiji etc. 2) I think it should be run independent of RA with them holding a seat at the table but not directly involved in administering the...

He's how it would work. Either we take our current 5 pro teams and find a 6th and run it similar to the Super 6 concept in Scotland but on a larger scale. Particularly short term in regards to borders being closed. Once they reopen we do the above and add in Fiji and Samoa/combined Samoa/Tongan...

I genuinely believe that post COVID-19 with the likes of CVC and WR (World Rugby) in talks that there will be a window where things could change rather significantly. We could see the club season align and some kind of Club World Championship implemented. I asl othink we haven't seen the last of the Nations...

I don't think we'd have to see a splintering of SANZAAR. More a realignment in terms of how we compete. A move to a two staged domestic/international structure. The first phase being primarlly domestic and the second being something akin to the old Super 6 set up.

Hmm...........maybe.

That's the beauty of setting criteria for entry such as a licencing fee. It would be open to all comers provided they can 1) meet the financial minimums and 2) demonstrate they have the necessary structures in place.

Not quite fully professional. The current MLR salary cap is $500k with the most a player can earn being $45k. Which is what should be targetted in such a scenario here. Of course, there are work arounds like accommodation and car hire as well as employment opportunities with sponsors etc. All of...

Or look to patch things up with Forrest and merge with GRR. Open up the eligibilty rules for Wallabies selection to having to compete in GRR. Fairly simple.

Follow the MLR model. Which is a single entity company that requires interested bid groups to among other things provide a licencing fee for the right to entry and annual cash calls that are used to pay players (under a predefined salary cap), and administer the leagues operations and expenses...

I think that's quite plausible. There could be the opportunity to significantly overturn how Rugby has operated since the introduction of professionalism. It just depends on who are the active players in the scenario. I suspect CVC will be one if not the primary player. They have already...
