[QUOTE="wjd23104, post: 292765"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Candyman @ Dec 11 2009, 12:56 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=426298']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Damn Straight!! [/b][/quote] Its only a stay of execution and what happens if the NZRU decides Southland should be dropped when they inevitably decide in 2011 that teams have to be cut. I say this because last year it was going to be Tasman and Northland getting the boot, and because of legal challenges and the fact that the idiots in charge of other teams close to being dropped (Manawatu,Counties) didn't back the NZRU they (Manawatu and Counties) almost ended up joining them this year. The current set-up is a financial nightmare and something will have to be done eventually, unfortunately some unions will suffer. But look at Hawkes Bay as an example of a promoted union that gave the NZRU no reason to drop them. They are making money and punching above their weight on the field. Unions like Tasman have done themselves no favours with very poor administration. [/QUOTE]
