Aust are losing some young players. First Gleeson, now Hooper.

These are the sort of fringe guys that we're losing more and more of. Good enough at Super level, probably not quite up to Wallaby quality at the moment.
We just can't pay them what they can get overseas. So I suppose you tip your cap and say good luck. But it's one reason why we can't support five teams and struggle now to support four.

And that would be true if we went back to 3 - the product has a certain value, out of which RUPA's slice of the pie is given to players.
Less teams = smaller pie.

Aus need to identify the ones they absolutely need to keep, and pay them. Bell, Valetini, i reckon Ikitau as well.
