    Unfortunately it probably makes sense.

    A bit harsh TG. I think the idea has merit. Equally I think the ASX, FTSE, NYSE and all Australian based investment funds should consider how well markets performed in the years leading up to covid 19 with a view to restoring some of our losses.

    So how is it that the Sunwolves are joining in?

    GRR should be organising something similar. They could play all games in WA as a triple header each week.

    Pay this years club fees now, get a 10% reduction on next years fees, applied on a staggered basis over 20 years.

    Some clubbies have been on a staggered basis for many years, from what I've seen

    Presumably along the lines of the Sunwolves having a 'home' game against the Crusaders at Suncorp because otherwise they'd have had to fly from Sydney to Tokyo and back to Melbourne in successive weeks when Covid-19 was kicking off. Base the Sunwolves somewhere in Aus (Newcastle or Adelaide) and you only have to worry about interstate travel, rather than international travel (assuming that the six-team competition is the four Aus SR teams, plus the Force and Sunwolves).

    Doesn't explain why this couldn't be done with the Global Rapid Rugby.

    One possible reason is that with GRR Forrest would have to pick up the whole tab for all teams, whereas with CSR (Condensed Super Rugby) he will only have to support one.
