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.

Yeah I like Nicks posts about that stuff but it gets lost in the crowd

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

@voodoo

Good point. I was just being polite and asking Nick before I went ahead and did it anyway

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

[KiwiMurph]

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

[antipodean]

@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!!
