who did he paint?

I am actually quite sure the players get a SOU Cap or something. But I really dont get what you are saying. You are a purist and somehow think by letting non qualifying players into what should be THE SINGLE BIGGEST DOMESTIC RUGBY MATCH PLAYED IN AUS somehow devalues it. I happen to think...

You could say the same about the Reds. They have had time, how much more is required?

Repeating and expanding on an earlier post. I think its critical that the SOU teams contain the very best match day of 46 players that Aus has of Wallaby eligible players. So we need a way to invite or draft non NSW/QLD players that are in this league of top players. Thats part of the...

They really are reading my posts, Hi Hame & Rob, you guys are doing a good job.

for the very few players that end up in the wrong color jumper. well thats tough. It should be seen as a great honor to play for either state. If you get selected for NSW and dont want to play you can always decline the invitation to play. Somehow, I dont think many will,

My post copied from the other thread. All this is intertwined. IMO SOU should be the same 2 teams to play Super 8 -best of the best , only players with National caps or about to get one. It should be about getting viewers and growing the fans first and foremost. Get over the fact player X...

yes I understand, but you are loosing sight of what they are trying to do. Basically concentrate the available talent into 2 near Wallaby sides to create something special. That means there can only be 2 sides. 2 sides from the heartland of rugby in AUS where 90% of the game and players...

they do,its called The Force they just don't play in this competition. Bit like NSW didnt play in GRR

Super 8, should be the very best second tier rugby comp on the planet. 6 Nations and TRC the only thing to better it. For that to happen we need 2 representative selected teams from each country, For NZ its simple 1 X South Island 1 X North Island. For Aus it should be the SOU Tahs and Reds...

Ill go the same as QH. not overly confident with Rats after last week. And it wont surprise me if Hunter go one better this week. Anyone know the TV game?

Haven't read the articles but was there anything about a FTA match of the round for Super Rugby? That was a key component of Raelenes plan

i am assuming they will have a big say in the way the comp is run and I am sure they will be trying to maximize viewers, and yes they would love nothing more than to outrate a SRTT match on Optus

Way before SOO, in a way was the forerunner to SOO Occasionally was epic https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-season-2015-40-years-on-from-citycountry-origins-greatest-ever-upset/news-story/81b8eb9c6999d9473bcae992423c0be5

Fox Sports is set to bid for club rugby only, The bit they tried to get before and Raelene headed them off at the pass. Potentially they could do alot with Club Rugby if they promote it well. This could be the best outcome for Rugby, if Club becomes semi pro. I will have to keep my...

it makes perfect sense if the Tah & Reds were the two sides playing in the Super 8 and this fixture was part of super 8

surley that game would be played in one of the home states, not as a curtain raiser at Suncorp

how did Brad Thorn qualify for QLD? I dont think the ring ins take anything away from the spectacle. In fact, IMO the opposite

no under 20 content? Because it has been shelved because of corona virus?

Yes, sounds good. And once they are picked they become an honorary Tah or Red and must stay with that for future selections.
