Another Thread...

Hadn't seen this bloke before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTwc8Z9jdyQ

We have many threads about Australian Rugby structure, I just can't be bothered going looking for them, so here's another one...

A new thought came to mind while watching this pod, if there was a genuine and permanent 3rd Tier National comp running the concept of losing a 2nd Tier franchise might not be so devastating to the pathway.

One of many, many benefits. But it would only be true if properly constructed and funded, not treated as a little tinsel added to the professional structure.

The ARC/NRC might one day have become what was necessary, but I doubt it. They'd've never got the funding required to do what was actually required.
