[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 155386"] Webby, that's another very good point you make regarding the central contracts. It was actually mentioned in a previous article I read somewhere as being detremental to the club game, and drastically reducing the amount of money teams can receive (obviously as everything is coming from the one source). Here's that article (see point No.2): [url="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/feature/story.cfm?c_id=1501233&objectid=10469366"]http://www.nzherald.co.nz/feature/story.cf...jectid=10469366[/url] But, in saying that, the NZRU does do a good job at managing the rugby in NZ for the greater good. Possibly a 50/50 partnership between the NZRU and private backers for each club could be one way to go. I'd really hate to see private guys pushing local players away though, or to see a NH style standoff between the clubs and the union. But it may be a risk that must be taken. Regarding my post earlier. I've started a new topic in the Southern Hemisphere section ***led "The New Southern Super Cup". As Howard Hughes so aptly put it in 'The Aviator', "It's the way of the future...". [/QUOTE]
