Ha, as all their other contributors are impartial?Or maybe the Roar editorial team just told him to give it a break for a week. There's been enough gossip articles on this issue.

You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you...Ha, as all their other contributors are impartial?
Very interesting indeed. The actual quote from Gallagher has the word ‘future’ removedSome rare good news https://www.rugby.com.au/news/gallagher-gets-behind-australian-rugby-2024527
Think it’s interesting they have specifically mentioned “any future National Club Competition”…

September would be far better timing than the current paradigm that feels more like a trial during preseason when most rosters are different from the prior season.National Club Comp was also mentioned by Dan Herbert when he became chairman.

I really hope they do it right. Fund it through rich people who want their egos stroked by owning or financially supporting a rugby club.
I for one am big supporter of it, but I have no idea how they will get all clubs involved. As due to the tribal nature of club footy, a gordon supporter wont support norths because they're both North Shore. As opposed to in Super Rugby a lot of NSW rugby supporters will tune in for Brumbies or Reds to support Aussie rugby as whole.
However, the flip slide of this is, I will support my local premier grade side win lose or draw and would tune into every game. Can't say the same about the Tahs.
Well you're in the minority when it comes to Rugby supporters. Most of whom couldn't care less about them. And I say this as someone who has played for one of those clubs.National Club Comp was also mentioned by Dan Herbert when he became chairman.

Private owners?I was thinking if they want an actual pro comp, what they could do is. RA pays the big bucks for wallabies players and big names, then private owners of the clubs can flip the rest.
Gives RA ownership over players and also takes the weight off of private owners.
Or maybe we could just get Super Rugby right with an extended 20 week season, full home-and-away schedule - more home games for SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) clubs etc.I'm fully supportive of it, purely because I'm working on the assumption it's pilot study for a domestic pro comp which will replace Super Rugby in 2026.
Look I don't have the answers. I have heard of one club who would have backing. Only saying private owners or philanthropists is the only way this comp could work.Private owners?
I reckon we are a long way away from allowing private ownership of Randwick, Gordon, UQ, Brothers etc. Their constitutions probably don't even allow it.
Yeah look I can only speak anecdoctally, but from what I perceieve - especially in Sydney. Is that a lot of my mates, who played Union all their lives only watch league, and I think a big part of that is the local identity of the teams. Many of them don't love the sport for itself. 20,000 at those Shute Shield gfs in the late 2010s can't be discounted and theres definitely potiential for a well supported competition using local club IPs.Well you're in the minority when it comes to Rugby supporters.

A bit random and unrelated, but seems as though the GPS schools in Brisbane hold a lot more cultural relevance and positive media attention as opposed to the ones in NSW.Not sure what thread this best fits in but how do we make rugby relevant again?
Thought it was sad to see this on the today show - one of rugby's traditional best nurseries getting airtime to support origin (and can't remember when I last saw them mentioned in the general public in relation to rugby)

GPS schools in Brisbane are elitist, but not nearly to the same extent that the Sydney schools are.A bit random and unrelated, but seems as though the GPS schools in Brisbane hold a lot more cultural relevance and positive media attention as opposed to the ones in NSW.
Anyone else noticed this?
