@Snowy yeah, i was meaning my real annoyances came from the overly complicated format, weird times zones etc....never really got annoyed on the rare occasion the landers thrashed someone....probably didn't happen enough to get old

The Australian newspaper reporting a trans Ta$man comp in 2022 with 5 each from Aus & NZ.
Potentially with a Japanese team and a Pacific team to make a Super 12.
That should get the fans back. High quality rugby with the Force, Sunwolves and the Drua.
i, for one, look forward to the return of the conferences. I missed them this year.
The Chiefs were actually 3rd in the North island conference. Podium!

Agree with most of that and, yep one title doesn't get old.

You need time to "refresh" but we over did it.

Indeed. My snooze has 10 minutes not 17 years. Nice if it did though.

Hope not. Second rate Aussie teams bore me. NZ should stick with 5 NZ teams as their main competition. And Aust likewise

Financially it's not sustainable for either.

@Snowy Why not try and think of ways of improving the competition outside of forcing Aus to 'cut' teams - which i said from the beginning was never going to happen? or just moan a bunch, i guess.
oh, well, because YOU said it, i guess we better go along with it then

Look at an end goal. A genuinely competitive competition.
You are moaning just as much about having teams cut - so you can cut out those bullshit comments.
So what are your suggestions for making ALL of the Aus teams competitive?
-
@mariner4life I was merely pointing out that it was never going to happen. I wasn't saying that it shouldnt happen because i think so.
IMO the only way to bring them up to speed is with patient investment at the base over many years. Likely decades. You could probably make them a little more immediately competitive by investing in player recruitment (i.e. tap Twiggy money) but i don't think a quick fix will have lasting effects.
-
@Snowy i actually think thats the issue, nz rugby might at least be able to claim trying to achieve a genuinely competitive comp as the goal...but i dont think thats the end goal for RA, they was to grown/spread the sport and they believe more teams will achieve that
