I proposed that as an idea, to have a S8/10 plate or second division - but I haven't seen that even hinted at or proposed by RA. which makes me think & hopeful that it might be 2 selective teams playing S8

There is a Rowing and a debating thread

Disturbing Avatar FP. Did you lose a bet with Dismal?

Obviously all teams in S8 are formed along the same lines for all participants. No one is suggesting anything different. Its either the Champions League where say the Rebs and the Brums are the 2 highest ranked Aus teams and they play the top 2 NZ SA and Jap teams , and we immediately...

Thought S8 was at the conclusion of the domestic comps

Ok, thats a fair point. So they play a 1 off Non S8 game before S8 - then go and take part in S8 If they happen to meet again in the final of the S8 - then the SOU trophy is up for grabs again

A 1 off Barbarians team would be ok

It just makes sense that SOU is actually a S8 game , and they play this game first and then go on to play the others in the pool. Every casual rugby fan in Australia should be aware of the first game and then the short (world class) tournament that follows

didn't I read they were keen to retain Hanigan? so is he definitely gone?

Norths have had a very soft run in so far. Rd 1 32 - 3 over West H Rd 2 53-3 over Penrith Rd 3 28-19 over Manly Rd 4 Bye Rd 5 50-10 over Hunter Easts will be their hardest game so far and I am sure Eats will be very hungry for the W at home

Id prefer as many clubs as possible involved. Perhaps country clubs can form a rep team from all teams in their zone. Id also prefer a small pool stage, so all teams get a few games

Be great if the winner of this jagged the bottom place (say 4th spot) of the finals of the S8, so potentially could go on the win S8

If that was the case, it would be nice if the other sides went off and played 2nd division Super 8/10 Pacifica tournament, perhaps even with a reperchage pathway back to the finals in S8. Keep all the teams playing for something, keep all the fans engaged

We agree to differ. Whilst I understand the champions league concept and actually dont mind it. I haven't heard RA actually use the term Champions League - please correct me as I am probably wrong. But they might be thinking along the same lines that these are the teams to play S8. The...

ROUND 6 Eastern Suburbs Vs Norths Eastwood Vs Sydney Uni Penrith Vs Warringah Southern Districts Vs Randwick West Harbour Vs Manly Hunter Vs Gordon 2 Blues The Bye A bit harder to tip, this round I will go all home teams excepting for Warringah & Gordon - could be some upsets and a...

Thats what they should be aiming for to get the highest quality S8 tournament AND to keep Fan Engagement

Agreed - a 5 or even a 6 team comp is going to get stale very quickly
