That sucks

Yes understand and agree, the NRL couldnt compete for Burgess either, and the Bunnies pocketed $1m. Maybe Sabaticals have money going back to the ARU - whilst $1m would be nice I don't think it would work. But there are also sorts of variations that may or may not work. I have always liked...

Couple of extracts from today's tele; p87 - Foley says "Thats the beauty of rugby being a world game, you can go over and experience new cultures and languages" p94 - Bath offer is the fact the UK Power House only recently paid Souths $1m to allow Sam Burgess to return home. ARU needs to...

Swanny - not sure yet. Milroy - hear he is in the coaching structure, I reckon he'll do very well at coaching as he can read a game. Sef - Romania

Is there a way we can bring them to us instead of individuals leaving to them? Interesting; An idea that would require further / allot of thought. Allowing a Top 14 team to bid $ for entrance into the Super? Or making it more Aussie lets say a JPN team bid $ for entrance into the shorter NRC...

Yes all interesting - technology / media / money means we are effectively a global economy now as well. We've had the ITM, Top 14, etc on Fox in Australia now for a while & even as a tier one country we've just established our own. I think we need to knock down all walls, look at the drawing...

If a scan the last couple of pages it is about including, and lifting the standard of the US / IS's and some of the 2nd tier nations. A RWC brings in allot of money to the host nation, it also incorporates the 2nd tier (& 3rd) teams thus possibly lifting their on field play because they are...

But we seem to be weakening our domestic comp at the moment now given the exodus. Does this mean it will happen sooner because we will meet in the middle?

Will be some good competition there this year.

- as am I. I know, Increasing player numbers, increasing interest, increasing general involvement possibly also increases revenue - - - over time. Things are often built from the bottom up.

Strewth that is a tuff question, maybe TWAS can answer that one in another thread;)

YEP. & reasons why the ARU should be paying attention to the Decline in Junior Rugby thread. Get more U6 into it and with a bit of luck / hard work it will hopefully spread like a virus. ....... and back on topic ........... Wish there was a way to stop very good Premier Rugby players heading...

No probs they had some games last year which was good for the fringe players.

Believe so.

Well 10 is looking real good. Sam Lane Reece Hodge Sammy Vae vae Chesters I believe another kiwi.

Lee anything on the Gen Blue team / squad?

Some kiwis, cant help you much more than that. Not sure about Swanny. Ah the loosies – they can have such a huge impact on the game, defence, attack, ball retention and Manly have been blessed in that area. How many scrums and line outs in 10 phases of play = great rugby, and the loosies...

That'd be correct. I hear a few new boys also turned up last night as well.

I do agree with you, but, My reasoning if we are reducing game time because of the world cup I feel it would be good having player with more experience. Both Dempsey and Ale had a good NRC.

One that has proven form in grade over a number of years ;) But with Jackpot, Dennis, Chapman already at 6 / Lock I'd have like to see Matt Phillip in there. There are a few 7's around the yeah Ale, Perrott.
