Mate, I'm no ARU apologist but how did you think this schedule would pan out regarding the derbies when we cut one of our franchises. Unless they play each other three times without the Force they were never going to increase those numbers. As in my other post I figure we'll 13 games a season in more beneficial time zones. Not great but okay. I guess. No worse but certainly no better.
I wholeheartedly agree with your contention WCR that the same outcome could have been achieved if five franchises had been retained. My issue is that reducing to S15 has done practically (maybe absolutely) nothing to benefit the Aus franchises and the suggestions by Pulver that we'll have more Derbies and time-friendly games is nothing more that a red herring.
