Summary (correct me if I'm wrong): the only group not paying the participation fee and the insurance levy is the schools, and of those schools that play 99% are private schools.

Thanks for the information. It's really interesting to see the response from various organisations. I think the insurance levy has its flaws and is much more workable as the incumbent 'per team' levy, but I think at $60 per senior and $8 per junior it was probably workable if there were some allowances made for the most loosely organised clubs (eg large number of part timers, shift workers, etc), and yet it seems the insurance is the biggest sticking point for many people.SJRU are demanding a full-time seat on NSWRU Board, plus other assurances. NSWRU won't implement the NIL and will source their insurance if necessary, but seem to have buckled on NPF.
It seems there will be no NSW state levy of any description and the distinct possibility that the NPF will be offset and only $11 for all 6s-18s.
From the commentary in the SJRU letter above ( in QH's post) - and to use that wonderful catch phrase from The Castle - it may be appropriate for someone from Club land to "tell them their dreaming, son"..
HahahahaI think the present mood is to acquire the jousting sticks, whatever the cost, and use them in a manner for which they were not designed.
The communication was sent out this week. Administrators have been given their login details. Not sure if, or when players will receive correspondence asking them to register on Rugby Link.I believe this was also linked to a communication from the "ARU Rugby Link Team" - suggesting that all (SJRU) clubs could start using Rugbylink for their 2015 Club registrations from 12/1/15. Not sure if this went to Clubs Aus - wide ??

I hope the SJRU get the board spot and also get the funding for DOs and other resources.
I'd've very interested in some of that correspondence. I'm really interested to know who knew about the proposed changes and why they were so blind to how they would affect clubs.Also interesting to note that various stakeholders put their objections to Mr Larrett in writing as far back as June and were ignored. It's taken a groundswell of anger from the grass roots to get anything changed.
Even though they seem to have given some ground on the NPF, the NSWRU deserve some credit for their support of grass roots rugby in this state.
I hope the SJRU get the board spot and also get the funding for DOs and other resources.
I hope the fight is not over and the ARU are forced to back track further, particuarly in other states, where it seems that the some state unions haven't really reflected the anger at the NPF by their grass roots.
I'd actually prefer that SJRU and CJRU were somehow able to both have representation. Not that this pertains directly to what we're talking about.

BH,
A (usually) reliable snout has indicated that SJRU communicated to Clubs last weekend - "that many issues had been resolved - but not all - and that they would be issuing a further update / statement sometime this week"
I believe this was also linked to a communication from the "ARU Rugby Link Team" - suggesting that all (SJRU) clubs could start using Rugbylink for their 2015 Club registrations from 12/1/15. Not sure if this went to Clubs Aus - wide ??

That's correct. RugbyLink has not been tested & understandably many are concerned it could fall over come competition time. It's looking more like Buddha will be the system of choice at least for 2015. There should be something more on this by Monday.I did not read that into those posts. I understood from the emails that the SJRU have not yet committed to either Buddha or Rugbylink and that further discussions are occuring and further communication will be issued. I think the email from the ARU was just the ARU trying to "impose" their system and put pressure on clubs/unions to adopt Rugbylink and not co-ordinated with any SJRU communication.
Any idea what that news might be? I heard yesterday that the NSWRU may be going with the individual insurance, but it will be capped at 30 players per team?That's correct.

More importantly It also looks like positive news coming soon re an agreement on 2015 club levies & insurance for SJRU & possibly wider club rugby community

I have heard an affordable fixed price to cover max of 30 per team in a much better deal. Should be something out next weekAny idea what that news might be? I heard yesterday that the NSWRU may be going with the individual insurance, but it will be capped at 30 players per team?
