Firstly it fills a gap in the calendar for the players, which also allows fringe Super Rugby players to get consistent game time following a Super Rugby season of been on the bench and travelling party.
Secondly, 90% of players have said the standard is better then club rugby, playing at a higher standard allows to bridge the gap between club and Super Rugby.
Thirdly, it's fills a gap in the Rugby calendar for the fans, whilst still a small base has grown in ratings on Foxtel.
Finally it provides a pathway and development opportunity for players from ACT/WA and Victoria to remain and develop in their own state without having to chase a better standard of competition interstate. There's a lot to be said for a player like Uelese who won't suffer development wise to remain in his home city.
