all the western sydney development officers at one stage where warringah based however.

The call out to the clubs being resistant to the NRC is correct. But to be fair, I think the ARU didn't work to work with them too from my experience, they backed down too easily. Also that all added up to the same people who failed to run any other level of rugby well, running rugby at the NRC...

I mean, if you think the threat is from the NRL of taking young rugby talent, can't wait till you find out about the MILLIONS pouring into GPS, CAS and ISA afl programs.

Assume it was a political thing, like it was created by not JON and therefore they dumped it? Not a statement, a conspiracy.

Do we think that the qru guys and nswru guys don't have their trigger fingers around the RA officials? It'll just be a cycle of mosman v uni v ballymore v randwick guys again.

Super Rugby completely missed the opportunity to strongly build out "domestic" competitions back in the pool days (with 5 teams in each of NZ, AU and SA) considering the saffas have always wanted more teams that would equal the top tier of the curry cup and the kiwis have always had clear...

sooo......we're reverting to the NRC....

at least they're not called the "gil tais" after a "future drink that they want to produce somewhere, from the creator of F45"

It's just a self feeding thing, depending on which side you see it from, hate breeds hate. The biggest time I was against league was when I was writing about rugby on the roar and you just got blasted every time you said anything. You'd probably find the numbers are there on the smh just because...

these names and logos make me angry.

first three years of the NRC with the sydney clubs, dealing with the launch of the rams, then the stars and working closely with those working in the rays setup too. My biggest highlight was when a senior official Eastwood told me (half asian who grew up in eastwood) that Eastwood rugby club...

I'd like to see the clubbies even trying to run anything at a prof level. Would be a disaster. Not to say the people running state do much different except with leather backed chairs.

Knock it down and start over? Honestly I'm unsure but if the thing came crashing down it would suck, though you could hope it would take out the usyd boys, the randwick boys and the mosman/shore boys as it went. There are so many on the ground and high up executives, admin and managers who would...

just reading on the last few pages on domestic comps etc, as much as I'd love one, and having been around the stars, rays and rams peeps when that was going on, there is no way with the mentality of the people in rugby in Australia that we can create something with unity, cohesion or for the...

Happen to have done the logos for both (formally) at the eve of the NRC haha

Still would love to bring back the rams again in this comp. Long term with good support it's the best way to approach expansion of support for rugb .

Hi All, consdering they're gone now, thought I'd share this, for prosperity as I was cleaning things out a little. This reminds me of the old days!

Just chiming in here re newcastle, after I worked on the Rams launch I was approached by backers of a newcastle side who then deployed initially as developmental, with the aim of making it into the NRC after a year, of course the nrc subtracted rather than built so that wasn't possible, but it...
