Rugby breakaway league coming. (R360)

[Rugbyfan564]

Funding secured names to be announced soon.

Dupoint, F Smith and Slade mentioned in the article as having had offers. (An odd range of players there).

Can see them leaking the names of those on England centres contracts pretty soon so the RFU has to decide if to sack them or not.

How can you sack someone for being made an offer? Has anyone signed a contract yet?

Nobody is getting leaked or sacked a month out from the AI's. Unless it's the seversl players who've 'played' for England. Dan Cole, Ben Youngs and Danny Care it is then.

Tindall led by greed, trying to continue dragging this corpse of an idea around.

Terrible idea, will never work but might ruin a lot in the process.

Yes many have apparently signed contracts which come into effect now funding has been secured.

If it destroys the Engkand team at a World Cup and several Six Nations it will be hard to repair that damage for a long while.

Does anybody in the World other than Mike Tindall, Stuart Hooper and Rugby 564 actually believe that R360 actually happen?

I don't see how it can possibly ever work, for the reasons that I and others have said on this forum.

 

[Rugbyfan564]

Seems the NRL is very worried about code switching to R360.

 

[Ddanno]

I think they're about as worried as I am about number 36's cat.

Give it a rest man. There's no way this thing gets off the ground no matter how much Tindall that royal prune shouts about it.

10.....10 players from 17 teams each with 30 players squads?.....the NRL will barely notice

and if it was "offically on"....wouldn't it be announced through their own socials?

Can you at least try and discuss what you're posting instead of just spamming rumour rags?

This is a discussion forum not rag aggregator

 

[OllyM97]

This is absolutely spurious, fantasist nonsense. Mike Tindall is a total grifter who only cares about enhancing his own image. Most of the countries that these franchises are apparently going to be set up in don't have any history or tradition in rugby terms - and as for every team being registered to the UAE rugby federation - says it all. Sportswashing as it's absolute best. Just pure and utter greed from people who don't have the game's best interests at heart, they're more interested in keeping their heads in the trough.

Exactly. Spain and Portugal may be on the rise as rugby nations but at present, I seriously doubt attendances would be high. Without a US or Irish connection Boston is a dumb location too.

Stupid idea and I'm annoyed that I'm allowing myself to bite on the rank bait again …

 

[Rugbyfan564]

Surely a serious competition would try and take on the French League with a franchise in Paris

 

[Ddanno]

It's not a serious competition. They're just hurling spare cash at something they have no real interest in and Tindall the Human Testicle is gleefully fronting it in a vague attempt to be relevant again.

Paris-Peckham-New York vibes

 

[Rugbyfan564]

Sky News has given more details on the funding they claim to have. Again a claim Fin Smith and Henry Slade are major targets. Meanwhile on social media rumours are Jac Morgan will be the first British players announced to joining it.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I wonder why you post all these articles in here. What's your motivation for spamming the same shite all the time?

 

[Rugbyfan564]

It just feels like it's going to end up causing so much damage.

 

[Ddanno]

Ha



So roughly 250 male players and 160 female players to be remotely viable. With the French leagues wanting absolutely nothing to do with the thing.

Then medical, physio, coaches, a TV station that's actually interested, insurers, places to play, referees, ball boys/girls, kit guys, transport and so on.

They're totally going to find all that in a year.

Yeah this will definitely work.

The bit about players keeping their image rights is so nakedly cynical. "We're just here to throw oil money at this thing to see what sticks. What is a rugby anyway? That guy with a testicle head... Tike Mindall? He tried to explain it but he's a stupid bugger"
