Unless we go down the private equity road, which is obviously something McLennan is investigating. I would buy into the Tahs if the opportunity presented itself, I’m sure many others would too.
Let’s say we did go to 2 pro franchises. Club rugby would become semi-pro and the third tier would effectively become rep footy. You’d have 2 pathways into the pro tier, the development pathway through the U20s, and the club-rep pathway for the late bloomers, imports, etc. It wouldn’t be disastrous, the tribalism would exist at club level and someone would pick up the rights to stream or broadcast the top comps, at least a few games a week anyway. It’s a rebuild.
