what happened to the mungos?

I think 8 teams is a good number for the top 3 divisions. It sucks subbies doesnt really work in the way where the St Pats and Lindfield teams could have a play off to see whos actually div 1 quality. I think St Pats and Petersham being dropped will raise the quality of Div 2, due to their...

How do you think the French and English clubs operated before professionalisation?

Blue Mountains?

If they where to ever to go with premier grades clubs, the only thing that would be the same imo would be clubs IP.

Im assuming Petersham will be relegated too?

I think the only coach that will get us steady again is Dan McKellar.

I know its early but this whole "golden decade" has been squandered.

Welp I cannot see us turning this around before the 2027 rugby world cup. lions tour is probably going to be an embarrassment. this golden decade is looking like iron.

Look don't make me out to be on of those shute shield people. I just think that the current domestic format is not working at all. We can't fix it with just creating teams out of the blue with no history behind them. So where does that leave us with? The Premier Grade clubs.

Tribalism is different when your playing neighbours everyday as opposed to an artificial NZ franchise based in nothing.

I feel like most of you agree with my points on why I believe we should go to the clubs. The lack of tribalism and connection toward super sides, apathy from many rugby fans toward super rugby etc. but you dont agree the right route to is to go with the clubs. So please tell me what other...

Well then what do you think will work? Once a upon a time the english and french where all amateur clubs.

Instead of snide comments give us valid alternatives to super rugby then? Or do you think super rugby in current form is working?

The Axemen and Kookaburras where the old representive sides of those states.

These old brands have more history associated with them. I'm just spit balling.

No one claimed it was gonna save Australian rugby. I will claim that it will re invigorate our base. So many rugby players or rugby adjacent people dont even follow super rugby. Or played union or all their life but follow NRL instead and occasionally tune in for the wallabies. Why do they...

Waratahs and Reds I think are fine. Brumbies should've the Canberra Kookaburras Rebels = Victoria Axemen Force = Western Australia

okay what are these NRC teams going to be based from? are they gonna be completely artificial? then we go back to the same problem. Maybe in sydney examples we could have North Harbour, South Harbour and Western Sydney. The reason I focus on Sydney so much because without the support of Sydney...

The northern beaches and upper north shore is inner city? Two-Blues would still be in the comp. They would cover a large area, but the concentration of rugby fans is obviously smaller in that area anyway.
