How about you come up with some objections to my arguments rather than calling me dumb?
We can joke about the Tahs, but the reality is the vast majority of our talent comes from NSW and QLD.
Here is one super rugby AU rated better than super rugby trans Tasman so those All Blacks clearly don’t have that much of a lureHow about you come up with some objections to my arguments rather than calling me dumb?
Who gives a crap. A large portion of the crusaders isn’t from Canterbury, nobody from the Denver Nuggets is from Denver, is there anyone from Manchester in Man City. We need to get over this pettiness. It’s silly thinking that’s holding us back, it’s 2023 and the sporting environment is incredibly professional. Let’s embrace what that truly means instead of this half pregnant mentality of my tribe v yours, but also trying to run high performance programs.We can joke about the Tahs, but the reality is the vast majority of our talent comes from NSW and QLD.
If you want to cut, you cut, but you can't expect the Junior Rep sides to continue without the professional counterparts. All you'll get is a Digby, a Samu or a Valetini every 5 or 6 years.
If back to the 90s is what you want, go back to the 90s, but the world has moved on.
It already made it there on FridayCan’t wait for that message to make it to the West eventually.
Hahaha.Who gives a crap. A large portion of the crusaders isn’t from Canterbury, nobody from the Denver Nuggets is from Denver, is there anyone from Manchester in Man City.

Hahaha.
I think it's a little silly to suggest that a team shouldn't be based where the largest number of registered players live.
Brisbane and Sydney are a no-brainer.

Not so sure KOB. Given that the Brumbies could have played Mack more and that he went looking for greener pastures, had a centralised system said to him, "here's the contract, now off to Perth (or Melbourne) you go", I reckon he'd still hjave opted for Ireland. And unfortunately there will be more of that I believe if the central organisation tries to move players against their will.This isn’t a dig at you BR although despite your best efforts to somehow blame the Waratahs for Mack Hansens defection to Ireland that one lays squarely at the feet of the Brumbies. Whilst everyone can acknowledge how good the Brumbies are at identifying and stealing talent from NSW and Qld, Canberra actually produces a once in a decade player and they let him slip through to Ireland. That said, I’m not sure he’s better than either of our current wingers - he is definitely the beneficiary of a better backline though.
Edit: I digressed. Centralization would have almost certainly stopped that from happening.
Nobody anywhere has said seriously get rid of a team from QLD or NSW. What a joke comment.Hahaha.

It was mentioned by another poster. My apologies for confusing you two.Nobody anywhere has said seriously get rid of a team from QLD or NSW. What a joke comment.
Happy to be corrected where I mentioned this
Almost like a forerunner to what might happen if RA sell off part of the game to PE, or hock it up to the gills in the belief that the golden egg will come through in 2025 or 2027. And all the time the game continues to lose supporters at both Super Rugby and Wallaby levels.Issue is that the Brumbies will have lost $20million in equity by the time the current lease expires at University of Canberra from when they sold their old grounds, and crowds continue to decline despite decent performances.
Unless there’s some massive revenue jump incoming, then centralisation of some aspects has to happen otherwise there wont be a club to support in the future.
Brumbies aren’t alone in been fiscally challenged, they are in one of the weakest positions though.
