• We'd all still have our teams, but only the best performing four or five would play in the CL and HC, and there would be play off promotion from Div 1 to the Super league, so any team can be champion if they are good enough, and we'd have a goof semi-pro league under that.

  • Lets get this right. You have a well funded 4 clubs then play off against a non funded amateur outfit. Yeah sure thats fair. I WONDER who'll win that one... Its a closed shop and G6 plans revisited. It wont work, it wont get support and certainly nobody outside the chosen clubs will care or support the game (NT) -- Come on..., 04:07:10 11/18/02 Mon
    • Well, I'd envisage that the Semi-pro clubs would be well funded by the WRU as that would be a crucial step between ametuer and pro in the career ladder. and OK, scrap the play off and prmote relegate on merit. The 4 or 5 are initially selected on where they finish in the current structure at the end of the season. If my club wasn't one of them, then so be it, I would support them until they got back up there. And just asking like, how would you rather see the structure? (NT) -- DD, 04:15:01 11/18/02 Mon
      • As per tasker watkins with a 6 or 8 team premier. No provinces, no franchises or other gimmicks - they arent needed and wont get rid of the problems. TWWP would sort out the funding issue without totally alienating 95% of the rugby supporting public (NT) -- Come on..., 04:20:14 11/18/02 Mon
        • Do you think that we have the players to field 6-8 teams? 8 is definetly too many. And if we have 6, aren't we still alienating a lot of fans? (NT) -- DD, 04:26:54 11/18/02 Mon
          • Adding that I generally agree with the TWWP, but with less clubs. (NT) -- DD, 04:30:14 11/18/02 Mon
          • 6 alienates a lot less than 4. Also there is a more realistic chance of promotion/relegation with TWWP report. As for the players argument, yes we do have enough. What we dont have are basic skills and so on which is the main root of our problem. Our players are unfit, unthinking, poorly disciplined lacking in basic rugby skills. That needs to be sorted out before the clubs and country can improve. (NT) -- Come on..., 04:44:27 11/18/02 Mon

  • That's good, not goof. It's a Goof League at the moment (NT) -- DD, 04:07:24 11/18/02 Mon
