2006 changes

[Humphrey]

I heard that the NZRL will be changing the Bartercard for 2006 and instead of having 8 teams auckland will have 5. So my predications for the 2006 playoffs are:
1. Auckland
2. Auckland
3. Auckland
4, Auckland
5. Auckland

The NZRL think this will disperse the players to the franchises outside of Auckland but thats cr*p as there isnt enough money for players in the Bartercard to be an incentive to move. All it will do is see the surplus go off shore where they can earn good money in country NSW and Qld regions

I also heard that the teams dont have to be club owned so maybe the Warriors will put in a bid to run a franchise

That's what the warriors need, but I reckon it needs to be in Jersy Flegg and PL. If they had a batercard team then it would put all the top Batercard players into one team that would dominate too much. No Leleui and Vatuvei for Otahuhu/Ellerslie etc.

I am presuming that the Jafa franchises will be based on geographics :
North, South, East, West and Central. Is this the case ?

Didnt hear anything about the areas sorry Skinz but I cant imagine theyd be doing it differently to that except as I said if the Warriors have a team

so te atatu have a chance!!

Anyone does by the looks of things mate. It seems all bets are off after the coming season and its up to every club or group of clubs to put there best application in for 2006. Since Glenora hasnt done too well since Bartercard started maybe another westie club should have a shot at it.

the tats have been keen on getting into the bartercard for awhile now. they are well off money wise (cause they are cheap bastards) and have a decent ground and good viewing from the club house. the club is easy to get too, just off the nw motorway and they have a good coach in sammy!!
