Joeys coping as usual. Always a few of those country boys who come in year 10 and slots into the a/s nicely.

Say if only a few clubs are selected into this 3rd tier. I'd be worried for health of ordinary club rugby in places like brisbane. Sydney will be able to cope with ease and would probably make community rugby stronger. The clubs who can't make it can easily fold into the Suburban Rugby...

If this club comp becomes serious. The structure of the clubs would have to change dramatically.

interesting old article. https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/rugbys-third-tier-in-the-pipeline-based-on-nine-universities/news-story/5aac0c20437483274e6a6c6803519ede wonder what ever happened to this idea?

If this was the arrangement the giteau law would surely be removed. Our best players would be overseas.

Thats why when other schools get good rugby players they're imports, but when joeys get good players they're "good lads" from the country.

You got any suggestions then bud?

Only spitballing. noscrum makes a good point. I doubt we can we fit the 3 North Shore clubs in a national club comp. However they are all on the bigger side of fanbase and support relative to other SS clubs. A Gordon fan will not support norths for example.

One way in order to capture the sense of sydney tribalism if the club centric way doesnt workout could be as follows: South Harbour North Harbour Western Sydney Southern Sydney???? not really that big of a rugby area.

Thoughts on the structure of this so called "club-centric" 3rd Tier?

https://www.footyindustry.com/sponsorship/2022-rugby-australia-annual-report/ interesting reading. I wonder how much the report will change for this year.

Its scary that we may not be able to afford him.

I feel like its something vlandys would do. He seems into fan service and actually getting things done. There already talk about there not being enough quality to fill the NRL teams. A scheme like this would fix things and 100% bring in more eye balls. Especially if they get international union...

Scariest thing is Nawqa could demand a large pay packet considering the current market, with Suaalis contract. And we all know RA is broke.

wow very overlooked. however i do remember ISA being quite strong in that period. Augs took a few GPS scalps.

Apologies, I read the tone of your comment incorrectly.

1. he grew up playing both like a lot of people 2. Just because he played league when he was young, doesnt mean it will translate to the highest level of league. dont really understand your reply.

Honestly would be really curious too see how he goes in league, obvs dont want him to leave tho.

So is it dying?

Does any feel as if Rennie was the reason we saw a lot of players play really well and then play shit under Eddie? I feel as though a lot of players wanted to play for Rennie, was one of his assets.
