If they are looking for new opportunitiee during the June break then some kind of 7s or even 10s competition should be the go. I've watched the recent Opens and U17s Youth 7s National Championships and the infrastructure and talent is both present and developing. Why not build on it? They could...

So there's room to be able to play a full 22 round schedule if they move the season forward and kick off alongside Super Rugby as they frankly should. Which only puts the true intent of this move into perspective. I also note that according tp the ARU survey 97% of participants in the NRC were happy with...

But the clubs are only funding one NRC side and from memory no one mandated they had to. Both the Rams and Eagles are majority privately operated concerns.

Mate, that's not going to happen. Hoping that the clubs would seriously entertain putting the interests of the gamd before that of their own isn't realistic. They've decided to try and wreck a structure that is not only beginning tp really pay dividends talent wise but is beginning to really...

If I were Pulver and Co. I'd look to emulate the JGC structure and cut out the clubs from the pathway completely. If they want to be independent then let's make them truly so. Split Sydney into 5 zones. North Harbour, Sydney, Western Suburbs, Nth-West and South/South West. Mandate that for all...

Mate, this is a powerplay. Nothing more, nothing less. No one forced the clubs to invest in the NRC. The opportunity to do so was a deliberate attempt to involve the clubs in the pathways further up the tree. As for the financial side of it. Well, there are many, many clubs who operate on a...

For this to have occured it would have required the consent of at least the majority of the clubs. So its fairly safe to say its a majority initiative.

As I've said over on the Shute Shield thread if this is accurate and considering the ego's at play it very likely is then they've completely lost me. I won't watch a single Shute Shield game from now on. Brett Papworth and his buddies can go fuck themselves. I hope they bankrupt themselves...

And the Shute Shield has lost me as an avid viewer.

They've mucked up the Boys ladder. South Australia beat the NT to finish 9th not 10th and I thought Nat. Ing and NSW 2 played out the 5th/6th playoff.

NSW 1 doing it easily against QLD 1. QLD never in it and easily controlled by a very dominant NSW. Final score 34-0.

Rubbish effort from the ref in the Womens final. Truly terrible. Anyway, congratulations to Qld. I should npte that I'm not suggesting the result would have been any different.

WA emerge victorious over Vic. 22-7. Probably the least composed game from WA all weekend from what I've seen. So the top 4 for the Mens will be either one of NSW or QLD at 1 or 2 with WA being 3rd and Vic 4th.

Nat. ing do it comfortably over NSW 2 31-7.

SA seals it in the last seconds against NT. Been enjoying what I've seen of the Men's competition. Lots of talent throughout the teams though highly concentrated in NSW and QLD 1. As for the Womens, both the NSW and QLD squads look slick from the limited amount I've seen.

I counted 5 tries to 2 in favour of Nat. Indigenous.

Just watched National Indigenous plays NSW White. There are a few impressive looking footballers on the National Indigenous side. They kid who streaked down the sideline early in the 2nd half with that long stride of a run looked to be seriously motoring.

Poor bloke is looking pretty rough at the moment. Cancer is a bloody terrible disease often matched by equally terrible treatments.

Isn't that the point of those not required for Test duty returning to club rugby? To maintain their conditioning. I guess it comes down to what is the overall goal of something like what I suggested above. Commercial and engaement or developmental. Personally I think it needs to be commercially...

Accord8ng the Latham he's heard Lote Tuquiri might be running out for the Tahs.
