Thats a damn good question..... One day they had a league to play in and the next day they didnt.... I wonder what the driving force behind it all was?
There will never be purely merit based promotion. There will always be other requirements like venue suitability and especially financial requirements. This will especially be the case if the proper NST is a fully professional league as per the original EOI/RFP spec.
Not sure why they dried up, youd have to ask Gallop ond the FFA what they did with the 30 odd aplicants they burned when WU and the Bulls got awarded franchises in 2018?
I think you may want to look into the differences between buying an independent business and running it how/where you want and signing up to be a franchisee for a Jims Mowing or a McDonalds mate..... Its not hard to udnerstand.
Well thsi is the same thing but with 7 more clubs.... and Avondale.
Absolutely .. welcome to criticise OR praise... Do it without bringing up an racist garbage and you're good as gold.
If the Championship doesnt evolve past this format for the first season then yes, I guess in a way they are part of a super league ... Don't know about being franchises though, each club can and will operate independently of "head office" this is civilised football not the Aleague
Yes, these requirements are generally in place around the world. But is still primarily merit based.
Shit poor Wollongong would be a little surprised to be branded "effnikz"
just rumours and half truths sadly..... we wait .......
it will fail miserably ifs it midweek....
I thought that this was being worked on under the auspices of the club licensing agreements?
Correct, that would be my understanding as well, I probably could have worded it better.
If it became a league, then I'd agree with you.

IMO also this needs to go head to head bc ALL shortcuts only lead to failures.. Weekend games and if they clash so be it (we arent here to cater to aleague) if we are serious about proper indicators then let the cookies lay where they fall ..It will only harden the hardened to their own domains either way!
We can only hope!!!
