It's getting to the stage where volunteers who give up countless hours each week of their own time not to mention their own massive monetary loss each season will start walking away from community rugby in droves.When this happens and it will happen if the ARU keep bashing amateur clubs run by people who do it for the love of the game, the game as we know it will be well and truly fucked.
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
Many of us already have, Westie.
and not just rugby either. Other sports have a problem retaining volunteers.

As far as I am aware, Subbies Rugby has not even told the clubs officially about the team levy.
For those of you that dont know. The New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union (NSWSRU) is affiliated to the New South Wales Rugby Union and runs the competition affectionately known as "Subbies" rugby. There are around 7500 players and 55 clubs competing across 6 divisions, making "Subbies" the largest centrally administered rugby competition in the world. NSWSRU is truly the grassroots of the game in Sydney.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
This is sad. Is the loss of oz super rugby teams something that could happen? I suppose the reds are the only safe club. Leave a big hole for rugby fans!
