Yeah I thought about who plays for what club, so brumbies players are made to play for a Canberra club during the club rugby season, but once that finishes I would propose that isn't the case and they are free to move back to their original club. Without a doubt a Tasmanian club isn't going to...

Club rugby is moved by 4-5 weeks but I get your point, my argument is that any perceived gap should be filled by improving club rugby because you already have a passionate supporter base there and club staff and volunteers that are passionate about their club so costs wouldn't be what the NRC...

It hasn't helped the Waratahs the last two seasons, I think they need to be playing but I am not sure the financial cost of this competition is worth it, I can't see this is making our players better and our super rugby and national team better. They can be playing club rugby and I think it will...

No doubt that the grand final is an event and not the norm, but I would be surprised if that many people would turn out if the Rays did make the gf. Who has the money to promote the NRC? Do any of the clubs make a profit? The ARU doesn't have money to promote it. No doubt those teams would beat...

I would disagree on the physical intensity of NRC over a competitive club game, but yes I am, purely because it would engage fans more. League and afl have a strangle-hold on the winter sporting landscape in this country, does anyone on here think that is because they have a better product? I...

Agree to disagree on this one, pace def higher but I would say that might have something to do with the rules that are designed to do that, not sure the same rules help develop all the skills needed to produce quality test players which is a problem!

It is not reflected in the intensity of the matches, there is no passion even for the players which means the quality isn't as high as it is meant to be! Rob Simmons didn't look like he wanted to be there today, if he was playing for his club I doubt that would be the case.

At what point do we realise that the NRC is not going to work and just be another financial drag we can't afford. Season 3 and there are still no crowds to talk of. How do they expect fans to become engaged when players change teams so often based on where they are contracted at super rugby...

I would not disagree with that, as a collective tuggeranongs players were better players. Penca played less games than hyne and scored more points per game. I think hyne is the pick of them, and our boys let a great opportunity to beat them without him slip. I think that came down to Thompson...

Considering he finished one point behind the three winners having played 4 less games than the other two whites players suggests how good he is!

Does anyone know where dean oakman-hunt finished in the medal count, given the preference for him at NRC and brumbies squads I would of thought he'd be up there?

Hyne missed 3 games having played for the brumbies on July 2, so he missed that games for Vikings and their last two games. Worth noting Daniel Penca missed the first 5 games of the season and was a single point behind. Having three blokes all so close didn't help any of the Qbn players as they...

Team of the season in an objective whites supporters opinion Barbaro Henry Dobson Glouston Tai Noa Jones Hyne Hamlin Thompson Knight JJH Morgan Kotz Johnson

Yeah this is true, that's why royals dominated NRC selection last season!

And what combinations were disrupted by Brumbies coming in? Coleman has played the last 4 games for us at fullback and Makin has played 6 seasons for us at prop and came in to bolster an already good forward pack! Smith was on the bench last week but I believe will start this week after the...

Yeah agree the forwards were a bit off but more importantly JR Morgan will come into the backline to add a bit of spark, I'd put young wells back onto the wing as well!

You mean that australian barbarians team that was coached by the tuggeranong and canberra vikings coach? so if they are after cover for ita vaea that should certainly go with noa over OH because as you said he is a big ball carrier

I honestly don't know how they are going to fit everyone in. Sok will have to prove his fitness to get back in the side, a strong performing back row jones has captained the side the last couple of weeks and has got points most games so he might move into the second row although Wilson is such...

Sok still a month away Penca probably another week or two Matthews two weeks Valeni won't be playing anytime soon unless he gets day release!
