NPC 2023

@Higgins thats a very good point, I would say the womens comps are still piggy backing the mens game, sure we got a boost from the RWC here, but I would say the womens comps are less sustainable than the NPC, and unfortunately additional drain on resources, however with the growth of the womens game, I imagine th euproar if they ditched the FPC.

@taniwharugby Would be hard to justify, too, as SR Aupiki is only a 4 team competition and they play far too few games without a home-and-away round robin.

@mariner4life Your idea, of a potential structure based upon the NRL's integration of lower levels, was one of the better suggestions I've seen.

recap @mariner4life ?

@Kiwiwomble think everything ran concurrently, club, npc, super
-
the more we talk...the more it also feels weird to be super > club > NPC with international scatter inbetween...seems a like it doesn't flow

@KiwiMurph credit where it is due, great work Auckland rugby still calling out that BS tweet

You know when we had best provincial comp??
When we has 3 divisions.
I think some boffins who are much clever than me can mybe come up with a system, 3rd div amateur, 2nd div a bit of money and then proper semi pro top div?
I know it will lead to players moving (as it did pre pro days anyway) , but just a thought. I was on a provincial board in those days (of a 3rd div union) and there was pretty good interet, we only playing teams of own strength etc, and it worked! I know we will have cries of how will we get promotion/relegation, and I don't have all answers. but one thing would be to show finacials as well as playing ability to get promotion?
Just a thought fellas, so just call me an idiot quietly huh??
I will add I love NPC, but understand the problems etc. And we can't lose it or really end up with too short of a season, as NZ generally needs club rugby played when it is. -
Anyone got access to today's newsletter from Dylan Cleaver?
