I guess I havnt checked but I'd be pretty surprised if there was no amateur league...

care to extrapolate how?

Amateur rugby league is objectively worse than amateur union. When I was still slugging it out in subbies there were loads of lads around who were former league players and fans who played because it wasn't as rough.

I get what you are saying but I still think you are wrong. Having to purchase goods from unethical companies is more or less a fact of life. Most of those things can't realistically be avoided in any meaningful way for ordinary people doing ordinary things. That's a whole different thing to...

I didn't mean to say that they thought of themselves as important. I meant the club.

Where the fuck is Pitzy when we need a good anti-club rant. Hes always ready when we don't ask for it.

Shute Shield won't back anything that isn't Shute Shield. Its unbelievable how inflated people involved with those clubs think their importance is.

Yeah this. Super bad, club way worse.

In a perfect world I'd just have an NRC and delete club/Super Rugby because they both suck arse.

I'd like some evidence the majority of rugby fans come from a handful of wealthy inner Sydney suburbs before we go making it the basis of all future plans.

I count seven players. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if that actually was 70% of the professional rugby players to come out of Sydney. Yep. Lets turn an already diminishing fanbase into an even smaller one. How could that possibly fail to save Australian rugby.

Yeah I deleted it.

I fundamentally agree that we need a new competition but relying on the thoroughly amateur and unwatchable club game aint it.

No it isn't? They generate next to no talent at all. They are, in fact, quite bad at rugby. The talent comes from schools. The interest is more broadly dispersed than fucken Manly and Randwick (much to the displeasure of the Mosman crew).

So we only support rugby in the 3 or 4 suburbs of NSW that have some shitty club? Fuck that off. That's some mouth breather reasoning right there god damn. If that actually happened id finally tap out for good.

No it isn't. We have no crowds because both we and the competition suck a giant bag of dicks.

Coverage seems a little... lacking. Don't suppose many people in Sydney (or the rest of the state) give too many fucks about Randwick, Manly or Eastwood.

Oh my heart bleeds for the struggling All Black fans. Fuck me.

Too many teams frankly. 14 Bledisloes a season, surely.

How long before we have a cup winners cup. Well, not 'we' but teams that win stuff.
