I'll front up and say he's wrong about at least one of those bids details so far

I think you'd need to wait for establishment before you could establish u16's comps and more extensions on this new regional rep pathway basically. But they will come in time. Also certain regional entities that already exist in the juniors system are rebranding in line with these professional...

I know a few of the NRC bids were discussing pushing for colts teams.

Also heard this was an attempt to eventually have SOMETHING on free to air too. But it evens out the odds with the rest of the SANZAR nations in terms of the rights deal.

god they're taking their time.

trouble is many of the teams have to be self sustainable by the bid standards. That means given the opportunity to be based in the money or out in the suburbs they based it in the money.

Bond university are basically paying for it from what I've heard. Probably integrates with their sports centre of excellence, as long as its sustained on that technical basis for now it will be able to sustain itself. Long term is a different question.

Heard they had 240 people turn up to training last night. capacity.

Andrew fagan announced head of national teams and competitions. Thinking about this, announcing it now probably means that they're preparing to announce something on the NRC I would think

There's two things here which are great. one is that they mentioned more than just players in terms of development pathways but also administrators, staff, managers and coaches. It means that they are looking at innovative ideas at the base of it I think. This will serve rugby in the future...

Thats only the SCG members isn't it? I was sitting in front of some of them complaining about how they much prefer seeing the swans play all through the trial game (if you want to see the swans thats fine, but don't expect to see them at a fucking rugby match).....conclusion: they don't deserve...

Yeah Greg Harris had alot of conversations with all the universities the teams were looking to get involved in during his varsity league proposal, this passed on to the NRC teams, and apparently he made quite an impression because of his eccentricities. You'll find all the teams have a link...

whoever told you that the ARU was going to give the teams any money was dead wrong. In fact there were fees to obtain a licence. Trying to make the SS bigger than it is is ludicrous. In fact the mismanagement and competition between clubs without financial backing has lead to many of the clubs...

yeah I was in bay 109. Seemed like the best bay...

The few that were there I felt were louder without the scg trust members there. That's a good thing. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk

PFt, everyone knows Gaggs can't be trusted....plus he's probably hearing it from weirdly obscure rumour mongers not in the know :p (this is a joke, if you followed me on twitter you would understand) In any case, if its canned for 2014 it would be for more prep time for teams for 2015. Though...

43 expressions of interest, not 43 bids. Most of those consolidated and collaborated to the point they expected 10-12 bids.

government will let china southern buy it before they let it go belly up. The china southern consortium is lead by John singleton, Gerry Harvey and Geoff Dixon, I presume for managerial control.
