I am a very passionate Tahs supporter however 6 home games a season is not going to cut it for me and hence I don't see myself renewing my membership, I have expressed my concerns already to the Tahs (And other franchises via SM) and I am yet to get a response.
Play Super Rugby round robin and then have all the Aus Super Rugby franchises play each other home and away plus Fiji Drua plus Force and maybe another team, there are enough wider squad players available so there is no player burnout, you capitalise on existing franchises and take Tahs games to North Sydney oval for instance or somewhere in the country if they need to.
Now I would definitely sign up for that even pay more for a membership, you get Super Rugby round robin which let's face it will be good AND you get a extra games via an NRC type comp featuring Aus Super Rugby sides.
This seems to be the preferred compromise of many here and something I'm all in favour of. The 4 Super Rugby teams plus at the very least the Force and Fiji at a minimum. That would be 10 games. Could spread the games around a bit. Look to involve Wallaby squad members when not required. And I mean all of them. If we could sort out a couple of other teams then that would be great.
Without the NRL and AFL to directly compete with it the Aus games were rating quite well. I'd go as far as to suggest we move it back to after both of those seasons are played. We know we have over the A-League. Twilight games. Smaller venues. More atmosphere.
