I might have known. If Pieman wrote it then the opposite is likely to be true.

Agree. The ARU should mend fences with the Shute shield clubs. The old saying is that people start fighting when the money runs out.
The ARU wouldn't have a problem with small payments if there was enough to go around for which the Shute Shield clubs probably blame the ARU and around we go. If NRC players get some more money this will lighten the load on the Shute Shield since this is roughly 50 top Sydney players getting paid. Albeit on a semi-pro basis. It's cleaner if it's all from one source but if some comes from Shute then some from NRC so be it.

Except there isn't enough money to go around, and clubs will likely spend it on CAPEX or manpower that doesn't grow the base.
If the ARU provides any additional funding it should be on a competitive tender basis with measurable KPI's against which success of the project determines ongoing funding. The ARU should hold the strings and should hold clubs accountable for delivering on specific projects.

So let me see if I'm getting your point.... You think it's fine to ask kids/families to pay $660 to play reps when our major rival code charges kids/families nothing?
Tell me again why many kids are leaving our sport? Sorry but I'm just a mere working class, public school old boy that wants ANY kid playing our sport not just those that can afford it.

You have missed the whole point.
The rival code does not charge them nothing.
The cost is just paid for by the clubs of the rival code.

The Super Clubs don't have their entire program funded. It primarily has the player wages funded.

Spot on - i was only referencing a point when TWAS possibly inaccurately responded to 7083's post in #846.
Yes unfortunately in the JGC players or parents are paying, and in league it is paid for by clubs who receives funding by ARU.
In NSW it appears the JGC teams are aligned to the NRC teams and in NSW's case a number of the clubs have provided the funding for the NRC teams.
An explanation / question i have shared previously;
Lets not use rugby as an example.
- Starting a business from scratch involves, money, time, risk.
- Getting carried by a business that is externally funded carries non of this.
Then to have the governing body of these business, who started this new market - well I don't know how to best explain that one so I'm not going to..
Now relate this to the NRC.

The clubs that the rival code gives money to are he equivalent of the franchises which the ARU supports.
The reason they need to be supported is because they really don't see an adequate share of the TV revenue until now.

The alternative is that the competition doesn't exist. Clearly there is a substantial gap between the finances of the two sports and most of that capacity in rugby league is driven by poker machine revenue from licensed clubs.
The junior rugby league rep competitions are almost certainly paid for poker machine revenue from the many licensed clubs. I don't believe the NRL is directly financing these competitions and their distributions to clubs are to cover the salary cap in much the same way as the Super Rugby teams receive funding from the ARU.
Overall I think there are very few junior sports where participation at any representative level (no matter how high up) is entirely funded by the organising body and not directly funded by the participants both out of their own pockets and through their own fundraising.

A few people are calling for Jake McIntyre to be dropped from the Reds after todays fixture against the Waratahs.
IIRC he has spent time in elite development squads like Aust Schoolboys, and Aust U20's, and he has done time in QPR and NRC,
Is his rise (or failure) due to the Papworth Doctrine, which states that Premier Clubs develop and prepare players for Super Rugby?
Is there another 10 in QPR that hasn't spent time in elite rep squads since they were 15 years old who has been "developed" by Premier Rugby Clubs that is ready to step up to the mark for the Reds?

Yes but unfortunately Shane Drahm has been retired for nearly a decade now.

I haven't seen Manly play this season but surely Sam Lane should be on the Reds radar as a 10. I think he is over his injuries.
