[QUOTE="Makos, post: 840699, member: 74493"] The Development West league is a really good idea as well ReddFelon. I think culling an NZ franchise is completely out off the question. The NZRU would simply not allow that either for a number of reason. 1. They're all very good sides 2.NZ player retention, we need the franchise to keep players in New Zealand and stopping the overseas exodus 3.Just who in the world would you cut? There's no viable option, the provinces/cities would be up in arms. Creating another franchise is probably the best option here in the Hawkes Bay region combined with the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne. How has SARU got 6 teams? With all due respect, they can barely field 2-3 competitive teams. They are stretched beyond belief with their large number of quality players playing in Europe. [/QUOTE]
