Force to field team in third-tier competition

[Fullback]

any moves towards a third tier competition should be celebrated.

Absolutely!

"Sydney and Brisbane rugby officials are angry because the ARU is stripping the $40,000 it gives each of their clubs to help fund the new $3 million competition"

Go Pulver! Forging ahead and fixing O'Neill's and Nucifora's mistakes.

Fox has the rights to Super Rugby. IF they are not interested in curtain raisers they might be interested in a deal to supply camera crew etc to another provider for a fee or contra-deal. 10 already carries some of Foxtel's programming. Possibly due to common part ownership. If ABC is paid to cover Sydney Club Rugby it must not cover their costs. Why else would they consider scrapping it? All networks need more content in these multi-channel times. Not less.

I wonder when we'll see fixtures?
