Winger

An 11-team comp will be a bit shit tho.

Why?

It's much better to have 4 stronger Aussie side than 5 sides who have zero show of winning it all

Sydney Suburban update:

Maybe we should split this thread? An Aus community rugby thread and a pro rugby one? What do you think?

im not sure there is the demand, there is only a couple of us that post the occasional thing about club rugby and often in relation to things like how strong the game is in general

Duluth

There's 4807 posts in this thread

Kiwiwomble

@Duluth yeah but i think the vast majority is about the pro level so we might have a thread about community rugby with less than 100 and a pro one with over 4K

and thats 4k since 2016 which is quite a long time

Nah, it's a separate topic, and allows people to find stuff they are interested in more easily. Should be split.

so split the threads then - dunno why you're asking us, you're the boss - this isn't some Russian democracy

Freedom within a framework. It works, provided the players have the intelligence and physical prep to implement it.

@Tim Nic White might be on the outside looking in if he doesn't have a big season.

@KiwiMurph Is Schmidt impressed by soccer dives? Aimless kicking? Otherwise he's shit out of luck.

@KiwiMurph How do you owe $6M to board members?

Did some provide personal loans?

That's absolute fuckery, if true. You're on the Board to ensure things run smoothly. Popping your own cash into the venture creates a massive conflict of interest.

Just about to say that. Competence is low from the top down if the board, the fucking board, loaned them money!!
