potential mergers
Not PU mergers. New pro teams
So what's our thoughts, just personally, on what that may look like?

@mariner4life said in NZR review:
i think the only fair thing to do
is kick Hawkes Bay and Waikato out of the comp
Good call - both can be amalgamated into the BOP giving the desperately needed consolidation this report recommends!!
-
i don't want them, they can join Taranaki and Manawatu.

So let me get this right - the report says there's a need for consolidation - but not the PU's consolidating?
Then the only consolidation left is NPC with SR...
-
@Windows97 i think he's saying, correct me if im wrong, that some PU will still exit but not have teams representing them in a national comp, so just running the local grass roots and providing players to a "central vikings" type team
-
if the overall result of the Silver Lake deal is the return of the central vikings then frankly the entire thing will have 100% been worth it

Which means the NPC will be consolidated into SR.
Which brings us full circle into the rebuttal in my previous post.

You're an evil man.

It mentions the number of boards being too many (26). I think that is more about some heartland unions being run as sub unions. Still have rep sides but no need for their own admin, appointments, payroll, communications
-
Basically the report says "consolidate your professional teams (we don't care how)" and take all PU's out of having a say in NZR and replace them with independents and interest groups.
There - I've saved you all having to read 634 pages of text - you can thank me later
-
@Duluth unsure what other unions are like, but I think there are a handful of sub unions within Northland, although tbf we have about a 4 hour drive from the southern most team to the northern most, so probably need a bit more local flavour to run them, although know some could do with guidance.
Reads a bit like another issue with merging entities in another thread...

The report does not say that at all
It's a governance report. It talks in detail about governance and makes a few references to competition structures but doesn't flesh them out as that is not what the report is about
That conversation can't really happen until any governance changes are implemented

Sure. But they don't need a full board, voting rights at a national level and to duplicate basic admin

Yes because after all it's the admin, appointments, payroll and comms staff of the near amateur heartland unions which is drowning the corporate profitability of NZR as a whole and must be urgently dealt with...
This is almost parody...
This isn't against you or your interpretation BTW (which I think is accurate) however given I work for a corporate I'm well versed in corporate BS and this report is corporate BS.
All care - no responsibility, highlight problems - give vague recommendations open to interpretation (so that it can't come back to you that your recommendations were wrong).
Consolidation I agree with - but needs to be managed very carefully and how much is even possible given SR contracts and such?
Cutting out the PU's in having a say in how NZR is run is just plain wrong - it's the nursey that ID's and develops all the players - you can't cut them out of the decision making.

my concern this with is how bad some of the larger ones are currently run...and then they might have to run grass roots rugby a couple of hours away?

@Stargazer said in NZR review:
@Duluth I don't think sub-unions have voting rights at national level. If that was the case, there would be a lot more.
I know. I think they are suggesting some heartland sides become sub unions to stop duplication of effort
-
I don't think you understand what has been said in the report and what hasn't.
You seem to be arguing about points not made in the report and pretending minor points are the key findings
-

Yeah it's scathing about the way some PU's are run. Rightly so. It also suggests changes to their priorities etc

Presumably, in a hypothetical world where you shifted away from a winning model, and more towards a semi-pro/amateur model at a grassroots level, the people in high performance will lose their jobs, and PUs would be forced to employ people more interested/capable of caring for it. I'm not saying it would 100% work, but you'd assume that say North Otago merged with Otago, there would be in a role titled something like, 'North Otago Competitions Co-ordinator', who works and lives in Oamaru.
