Funnily enough, WA is almost closest to that. If the Future Force were expanded a bit, it could essentially be the NRC team less their professionals. Make that work, show how the NRC could be integrated with professional training for the best club players, and paying them to train more professionally while they are still showing out for their Premier teams...it could show what the NRC should be.
The Spirit and the Vikings are exactly that. The Rising aren't as the Rabble still rely on the Sydney comp during the year and that won't change this year as they have taken far too long to name a Super Rugby squad (Wessels has already suggested that Debreczeni will start at 10 and he isn't even in the squad).
