Hypothetically, if NSWRU refused to sign up, what would the contribution be for each player to make up the $1.1 million? Probably about the same, but it might be fun to see what happens.
He was at the SJRU meeting last Wednesday. How he comes across in the article is consistent with how he came across at the SJRU meeting.
If the NSWRU muscled up, I would be more than happy to donate into a fund to replace the ARU grant.Hypothetically, if NSWRU refused to sign up, what would the contribution be for each player to make up the $1.1 million? Probably about the same, but it might be fun to see what happens.
This might be the bit where you are going wrong.I would hope that the ARU are smart enough..
I'm starting to warm to the NSWRU more and more. I think they're starting to get it.

Anyone had any dealings with this Andrew Larrett guy?

I'd be happy to donate to the ARU if they took a positive attitude to engaging the people they're currently alienating.If the NSWRU muscled up, I would be more than happy to donate into a fund to replace the ARU grant.
I would much prefer them to risk going down in a blaze of glory,than die a death of a thousand cuts.
I have had some recent dealings with them and I have been extremely impressed: they seem to know where they are trying to get to.

Even the usual Pulver supporters and ARU sympathisers on these threads have stayed quiet. No criticism mind you, but they haven't been out there defending the NPF and those who want to implement it with the usual gusto.
AFL made $24M last year from AusKick. It is a behemoth. We pick up players from AFL often in the younger junior grades because it's a sport that doesn't suit them. There will always be a place for everyone in rugby, but it's hard hen you give away so much ground at the grassroots. No parent whinges about the cost of having their 6yo in an AusKick program for 8 weeks, but this money could almost cover the ARUs contribution to the Super Rugby franchises. Value for money, innovative programs, positive engagement and programs at club, coach and volunteer level are the ways to ensure the future success of the sport. Unfortunately, fees and changes without bringing along the punters is the best this mob can come up with...And on the subject of the AFL - Im up in Byron for the first time in a few years and notice on the way into town a huge AFL logo on the side of a building and a laser levelled aussie rules ground at the Regional Sporting complex. We're losing a war we don't even know we're in.
No criticism from me on that score, however I think that the defenders of the Pulveriser and the ARU maybe don't have the connection to the grass roots that a lot of posters on here do or have had.
I think the best insight has come from the AFL view it: if they play they'll pay. The ARU seem dyslexic and have read this as if they pay they'll play.
