No problem with City being the current Holders.
Cos by Sunday it'll be 1 win, 0 defenses.

While I'm certainly not opposed to Brisbane city holding it, I think it has to be first awarded at the end of this season, either to the Minor Premiers or the overall winner of the comp.

Yeah that was my thinking. Potentially you take it a step further and ignore bonus points, so you're giving it to the team with the most regular season wins. That probably won't be any different from the minor premiers, but it's worth considering.

I'd still go with the team that wins the competition. Just makes more sense to me. The champions defend it first, not the minor champions.

I'm sorry, the toilet seat is amazing.
We shouldn't have it, but it's bloody awesome.

The "other" PFitzy seems to be on board:
"...One suggestion floated this week was to name the new NRC trophy in honour of former Brumby, 7s, Randwick and inaugural Rebels player, Shawn Mackay, who was tragically run over and killed in South Africa five years ago, while with the Brumbies. A notable link would be that he got his start in the inaugural ARC, and as he played in all of NSW, ACT, QLD and Melbourne – and played rugby with passion and derring-do – honouring him in that manner would have a certain symmetry."

Congratulations to Melbourne, quality side.
In other news that was exactly what the NRC is all about - fringe players getting experience against the pros. Those Brisbane city guys will get a lot out of versing a team like Melbourne compared to what they would get out of clubland.

Up here in banjo land that qualifies as grammatically correct.

Don't blame them English language. They know not what they do.

Not quite, the QLD style guide dictates that the sentence has to end in but: "Those Brisbane city guys will get a lot out of versing a team like Melbourne, but."

My boy came home with that horrid league term from school and I made it perfectly clear that it was not acceptable.

Keep in mind, a lot of the Rising (and Spirit) are fringe players as well, so the experience they're getting as a group will be beneficial for the Australian conference going forward.
More depth in the Aus conference = more Rebel and Force players in the Wobs squad = less Rebel and Force players in the NRC = more opportunities for club players and a greater spread of talent = more depth in the Aus conference.
It's the circle of life, Simba.
