that kicking the can down the road is a default to the slow speed train crash.
It continues a top down policy on what is required for best WB performance, (short-term-ism) but does not look to the reality of the sport in Aus. The National pro "tier" ideally connects to the state pro comps and connects organisations like SRU into the process. It should also look to build a domestic market that has semblance of a chance of actually being valued by the market.
Still as I have mentioned before it is exactly what I expect, more of the same, chance to leap off the slow speed train crash carefully avoided. Upside being we will at least get more pro rugby at least until the train runs out of steam.
May as well sit back and enjoy the ride.
