Hoping to see this again at RWC15. Love to see the potato farmer from Warwick run amok.

Scoey, see a physio. As you mentioned, tape normally falls off and probably doesn't do much good anyway - you might be better off without it, or you could use a flexible tape for the psychological benefit. I've always tried to get off the tape as soon as possible after injury. Good luck...

Any news on the new insurance and participant fees in Subbies?

That's great news. He's going to have to be good this year for the Reds to use that back line. With Holmes in good shape, the Reds at $18 (betfair) are good value going into the season.

Is there any documentation around the SJRU outcome (press release or official correspondence)? Also, has there been any decision on the result with senior rugby in NSW through Subbies or NSW Country? Any news from ACT & Southern NSW - they had a high state imposed levy (similar to Qld) - but...

This is cheaper than 2014 isn't it? While it seems a good outcome, I'm concerned that all decisions from the ARU have been reactionary, from the initial proposal to the negotiated outcome. Rather than provide an outline of problems and enlist the community to drive the outcomes for community...

Agree completely with the relationship with Japan. The benefit of a trans-Tasman match is probably only publicity and having your next tier exposed to another quality game of footy. And it wouldn't be overly expensive. Get Peter Cosgrove to commission a trophy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd hope that one of our four finalists could match it with an ITM Cup winner. That's the point of the competition. Whether it happened next year or not, I just think it would be interesting and good to see. Maybe if the NRC Champion was flogged it would allow us to review and improve our...

Any idea what that news might be? I heard yesterday that the NSWRU may be going with the individual insurance, but it will be capped at 30 players per team?

I'd've very interested in some of that correspondence. I'm really interested to know who knew about the proposed changes and why they were so blind to how they would affect clubs. It certainly looks like the NSWRU have at least listened to the stakeholders there, which is great. I will say...

The communication was sent out this week. Administrators have been given their login details. Not sure if, or when players will receive correspondence asking them to register on Rugby Link. To me, the only reason the ARU/States have gone down the path of individual insurances is to allow them...

Thanks for the information. It's really interesting to see the response from various organisations. I think the insurance levy has its flaws and is much more workable as the incumbent 'per team' levy, but I think at $60 per senior and $8 per junior it was probably workable if there were some...

Geez this thread's gotten weird. To get back to the topic, one idea I'd like to see introduced would be a trans-Tasman match or a SANZAR match between the top NRC and ITM (and maybe Currie) Cup competitions. As I mentioned in a previous post, the long term benefit of the competition won't be...

Yeah agree completely except for the 3 point conversion, not sure it was necessary with the adjusted penalty value... In saying that, if that's my only gripe, it's a pretty minor one and I'm happy enough to live with it. It would be interesting to assess the injury rates of teams with the 'more'...

Without having an opinion either way On whether these articles belong on this thread, it would be helpful to share those articles on the Fee Structure thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry mate, I couldn't recall any of the changes that were referred to. I asked twice and eventually looked them up again. I'm not interested in personality or undermining people. I thought I'd missed something when there were references to Law Changes being the biggest thing that should change...

These were only the changes to the application of law by the referee to try and speed the game up. I thought they were generally good ideas to improve the flow of the game.

What are you talking about? There were no law changes, except the points value of goals.

What were the experimental laws, apart from the value of goals?
