    3rd tier is back in 2014 [Discontinued]

    Thanks for batting for me, and I concur with most of your points - BUT - TWAS even used my name when referencing "patch of grass". Yep I am. Could the well run clubs bring some of the sponsor ship (whether it be zone, or top 5 teams). I can't see that I will follow a Super B side, but I...

    3rd tier is back in 2014 [Discontinued]

    Thanks for being fair in your response, yep "protecting our patch" - it would be a worry if i didnt. Super players returning / Clubs owning players, 2 sides of that arguement, I'm all for players stepping up to Super Rugby but I'd like to see them come back to Shute / Premier. To assist in...

    . Possibly, and that is why I said regional zones but with that comes cost and infrastructure. If regional 4 NSW / 3 QLD / Force academy / Rebels academy / Brumbies academy = 10. The academies are to allow their club players exposure to higher grade rugby - development.

    JOC (James O'Connor) Gooonne

    I don't like see our players going OS, depending on country and club it could be valuable for JOC (James O'Connor). A country with limited English, Hard Heads who've earned their stripes maybe what he needs. Remove him from the troubles and spot light - the spot light will still shine on him if the Force...

    Keep things simple. When Uni Crueled Manly after the bell in the semi's Tim Davidson said this is our Third Tier. I recall he said that game was up there with the best and toughest he'd played in. A lot of posters on here thought the same. Instead if spilling cash on creating something new...

    I'm sure there would be a number of other supporters who enjoy watching club rugby over Super Rugby. I've had die hard league supporters say they get more enjoyment out of watching the ABC, than Super of a Fox. Who know where it will lead, long wait until April.

    JOC (James O'Connor) Gooonne

    There lays the problem. I do think JOC (James O'Connor) problems would be an easier fix than Beale's. The bottle is a hard thing to kick, and when your mates are having a drink ??? Remove him, I think some where harsh overseas, limited English, with Hard Heads that demand respect.

    What I'm concerned about and don't have an answer; Using as an example. I like that though, but when is it played and do 2nd's 3rd's and 4th's run parallel to first grade - after all they are the foundations of the club. My thoughts around that. 4 clubs get a licence and play the 3T...

    JOC (James O'Connor) Gooonne

    Sully nobody, 2 examples of what I was meaning; JOC (James O'Connor) needs to learn respect. Dingo didn't command respect. I'm a link fan so biased, but he spent time learning what made his team and players tick - we are all different, but I'm sure he got to know what motivated each player, and what drove...

    Maybe so, BUT, With out respect support is worthless.

    Well I thoroughly enjoyed watching the top 6 compete in the 2nd round last year - there were some cracking games. People did frown on last years primarily due to the shortened season which we have any way.

    I'm sure QC (Quade Cooper) didn't approve of what they did, and went about it through. You can still be mates and not approve of it.

    What part of it is - just look at JOC (James O'Connor), Beale, even Digby was off the rails. Whilst there were some who whore their heart on the jersey a number didn't.

    JOC (James O'Connor) Gooonne

    Hope so. Really please for QC (Quade Cooper), he's put in hard work on and off the pitch, and no doubt been mentored along the way. Hope to see a repeat with JOC (James O'Connor). QC (Quade Cooper) was 100% accurate with what he said last year, and 100% wrong with the way he communicated it.

    10 Team comp - agreed. Rep Lines - like (regional zones). Super B - don't like, it separates away from club values. and grass roots (IMO). But, this is after Soup, and Shute so maybe. I'd like it played at club grounds, with club interest and benefit as this would enable families to attend so...

    All Blacks v Wallabies, Dunedin, 19th October 2013

    QC (Quade Cooper) has been getting better each week. Over the last 12 months he has kept quite, and his d has improvd remarkably, that improvement can only come by hard work. Not tackle bags, but live physical practice. He was one of the few to stop Re a Ranger in a one on one tackle. Kuindrani, good to see...
