Rabbitohs Take Over Townsville Blackhawks

[siv]

Clubs are flush with cash? Even if they were, why would they bother spending it on a reserve grade team that gives them no real benefit than what a NSWCup team would?

A national reserve grade isnt coming back. Moronic idea

Hmmm

NRL clubs already pay for players 18 to 30+6

NRL clubs were implementing their coaching staff on QRL clubs

Players 18 to 30 +6 come together to run oppose training sessions during the week

Natural trend for these to come together under the NRL directly

NSW Cup premiers continue to thrash the Qld Cup premiers

Cowboys & Titans have seen the light and not splitting their players across part-time clubs

If the Cowboys and Titans rejoin the NSW RG comp, thats 15 of 17 clubs in a RG NRL structure

Clubs taking shortcuts to chase PENRITH!

To be fair Souths give them a run for their money in the smug department.

NRL clubs share the cost of running a team with affiliated clubs. Of course when they run their own teams they pay full freight

The biggest cost of a national reserve grade comp is having to fly/transport and house 19 extra players to away games that they dont really need to do when playing in the state comps. Its a big add on

Cowboys and Titans arent joining the NSW comp. Not sure where youre getting that from

$17mill grant, yeh flush with cash.
More control over a players development. Nsw cup is basically the nrl reserve grade for most clubs already. It’s only really the queensland clubs and Storm left farming players out to numerous clubs and dolphins and now cowboys are not wanting to do that.

clubs are already paying, be it with their nsw cup team or funding partner clubs.

Clubs wont willingly spend extra if they dont need to, you know this

Clubs with feeder in the Cup comps already have complete control over their contracted players development. The NRL clubs control the coaching etc

Dolphins and Cowboys still have feeder arrangements with QCup teams other than their own

You do realise, Melbourne, Warriors, Canberra already do this already for RG, U21 and U19 teams

And travel in Qld is not local either

And we will have the NRL paying for travel directly to address this issue

We’ve seen a number of clubs in recent year end partnership arrangements and enter their own teams in second tier. Cowboys and Titans latest wanting to do it.
not surprisingly the only two nsw cup clubs not running their own reserve grade side are the two poorest in cronulla and manly.

there will soon only be 4 nrl clubs without their own reserve grade side. Manly, Cronulla, Melbourne And Broncos

Cowboys are not having their own feeder club in 2024. Not sure where your getting your info from

Titans are also feeding to Tweed and Ipswich. They arent creating their own QCup club either

They have both stated their intentions to run their own sides They are just waiting for NRL to pay QRL so they can.

Laurie Spina on a 5 year deal.

 

[Canard]

There currently 11th out of the 15 QCup teams, whilst the Cowboys feeders are 2nd and 4th, so it's been a rousing success to date

They've given a chance to a few younger guys this year. One was just signed from the Raiders that has NRL potential.

Seems the Souffs touch is doing the trick nicely. Consistency across all the grades is what you want.
