@antipodean i think this has come up before and think i said the only way i can see if being fair is for all new franchises, get rid of the five current ones so everyone is on the same footing, but even i know thats huge and will never happen

you can not start again, that would be suicide. The only way the current franchises go is if you revert to provinces. Creating 5 or 6 new entities would probably kill the remaining interest stone dead.

@mariner4life and i think making a couple of new ones is going to be too tough to build a supporter base, they'll always either be the little brother who never wins or if they buy their way to success everyone will hate them, its a circular argument that often comes back to the provincial unions, they have existing long term support and history
side point, im choosing to believe getting a headache from going around and around is a sign of a good debate!...or a tumor

@kiwiwomble more likely that there is no real answer and we are completely fucked.

Australian domestic comp has to be existing setups like Brumbies, Force & Rebels, and then 2 teams in QLD much like the NRC (which the QRU showed good chops in running), and then bring in the Sydney club sides who think they're shit-hot enough to make a go of it.
It is the ONLY way to get Sydney Rugby involved at that semi/pro level, because they've scuppered every other attempt. Every. One.
There needs to be changes of course; Sydney Uni, Randwick, Easts etc. can't just continue to be 4 Grades + 3 Colts sides.
Get your best 28 players for a senior squad. Have a localised EDIT: 1-team Colts comp to help with development.
The rest get told nicely to piss off to feeder clubs in Suburban Rugby where they can help lift the standard.

@nta thank you!

Seems RA are leaning towards an Aus only conference with a champions cup style play off at the end. Possibly with an Aus only final prior to the TT component.
Seems more or less what we did this year with the TT bit rejigged.
They also seem to want NZ tv money? That seems laughable.

Sounds like that guy that brings cheap beer to a party then drinks all your good stuff.

I'm surprised they think it's worth anything.

@stargazer going from this you would think the Canes would have done better. I suppose our TT campaign ended with two missed kicks and a cock up by the referees.

The sum of all the parts is greater than the sum of the bigger numbers of parts at the other lower sum places.
That's the saying right?
