Yes. The Australian team is a different beast compared to the BBL.

What an absolute fuckhead.

I think the chances of a takeover will certainy be higher than they've ever been. But not necessarily by Forrest. I reckon CVC and WR (World Rugby) are quietly biding their time waiting for things to settle down. I think we may see CVC come on board with WR (World Rugby) Nations Championship structure as well as invest in...

Ironically even running off the smell of an oily rag it may prove our model is more sustainable long term. Hopefully. But all the talk of clubs likely to fold. If it proves to be true then it suggests that the likes of the NRL and AFL have been living well beyond their means on credit for a long...

Go for that as a base salary with match fee's on top but varied depending on win/loss. Say $5000 for a win and $2500. So at a minimum the squad of 35 would earn a minimum $112k each assuming it goes to 13 games if they lose all of their games and $145k if they win every game. So they'll earn...

They probably look to move it into the 2nd half of the year if it is possible. Sometime after Sept.

FFS.

They will try to argue they are essential but that will be a hard sell.

They could put together a BaaBaas squad as well. Though, I still don't think this is the greatest of idea to be going through with at present.

Yep. There's going to be an confirmed infection in likely both leagues sooner rather than later and when it does occur they will both be thoroughly deserving of the derision they'll receive.

Would also fit nicely into game play with 7 minutes halves. It's actually a solid idea and something I think should be looked at.

Just use the NRC as the structure.

Maybe not. Castle has suggested it being part of Super Rugby but it wouldn't take much to change it to the NZ model. https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/super-rugby-2020-replacement-competitions-coronavirus-news/news-story/1bf27b308b8352b120f1d158d5a79bc7

It's the NRC as the teams would be from within Australia. It doesn't matter which ones they are. You are aware the likes of Sydney and NSW Country are also a form of provincial rugby, right?

As previously pointed out. We have one thing the other codes don't and that's a governing body that just recently held a hugely successful WC event had has a surplus to boot. I would argue that they would be well served in helping a number of Unions including ours stay afloat.

I don't actually expect anything to be possible this year. I'm more suggesting that if by some work of luck we are in the place where we could see something this year that the above would be my preference.

Just use the NRC. Instead of the usual teams play the Super Rugby franchises plus the Force and if are at a point where we can drop the 14 day quarantine bring in both the Fiji and Samoan teams from GRR alongside the Force. Then look to set up an 8th team featuring U20s and the extended squad members of...

Only if the club Rugby continues. Which I'd suggest is also likely up in the air right now.

That's certainly what I'm hoping for. We're used to operating borderline broke. While the likes of the NRL and AFL live lives of lergesse by comparison. I've found comparing my experiences in life seeing my parents struggle early on to make something only to lose it before making much of it back...

Then things should get very interesting as so far everything I'm seeing suggests people are far from happy with the governments response to the crisis.
