The idea of the NRC and NRC franchises rather than shute shield stuff has attracted new investors and sponsors to all the larger bidding franchises, whether they be considered standalone ss clubs or not. It is seen as attracting a significantly larger audience over the seen niche of shute...

Theres plenty of money and most of the consortiums have that end of the bargain sorted. Particularly Randwick. That isn't the issue you guys should be worrying about. Easts/randwick/southern fell apart because of arrogance and politics/unprofesionalism when negotiating how the joint venture...

I think you'll have to wait for sponsors to be announced, but the teams wouldn't be allowed in without a firm financial footing. There's plenty of industry and money in Sydney for sub Super level teams

The Sydney teams aren't being centrally funded and will only be accepted if they're independently financed.

Interesting stuff.

sidenote, his mum works at scots, surprised they haven't contracted him yet...:p

Whilst uni top level budgets where cut, because of the uncapping of places, they shoved more money into marketing. There's alot more money being flung around by the uni's now because they have to compete for students. If there's any sport that you can use in marketing terms to "verify" a...

you guys seem to think its a link with the university rugby clubs. Its most definitely not so all around. Most of all its the universities as institutions themselves that are willing to support the franchises, though you couldn't have multiple pairings like Bruce suggests you would basically...

Southern jumped from the Eastern Side and they didn't want to limit to just western Sydney for that. I can tell you they probably have a very pretty logo though...

from what I understand USyd and UNSW are like that, the other universities getting involved seem to be from the point of view of commercial partnerships. RUPA talked to them independently before they released their proposal and it has been up to the bidding consortiums to contact the...

people just need to get creative with their jersey choices.... ....though I still get a bit scared when people scare at me in some eastern European jersey I'm wearing...they might be some other eastern European country that likes beating them up. Thats the reason I don't have Israel and Croatia.

also know RUPA have been talking around to them too

have to say that this competition will have heavy involvement from many universities from who I've talked to, lots of interest. Not just the two we've mentioned. Obviously randwick and unsw have had a decent relationship of late, and USyd have always been around, but northern sides have...

there seems to be a dismantling of the "involvement" the club sides were supposed to have. I wonder if pushing teams out slowly is intended, or if its by pure happen-stance and mismanagement.

well the crusaders away jersey was already chainmail....

I think some of you are factoring in too much the decisions of the clubs and not the players. In the end, as much as theres colloquial support for club rugby etc and theres the commitment that it wont be surpassed, I don't think it will be as big as you are all making it out to seem. The idea...

its an alright jersey, nothing special. I doubt the map is really a statement, just comes from the tradition that the waratahs represent all of new south wales. The pro teams certainly need to get better jersey designers o the case though! p.s. the volvo logo actually derives from the symbol of...

I have a feeling quick hands has the same idealism that people in my uni course have, thinking that people will change rather than the product. the product has to initially appeal to the audience and whether the feeder teams are from the local area or not, pushing people to go to brookvale to...

3 teams and theres no place for uni, an emphasis initially must be placed on allowing for the broadening of the scope of rugby and at the same time developing a player base. secondly, the northern sydney jv would isolate anyone not from the insular peninsula by playing at brookie, as good a...
