TLDR;
Same as we already have but with central control/ contracts 4 teams, £6m budgets Nothing much for women and no £28m on the pathways, just vague ideas like using Cardiff Met and Llandovery Frying pan, meet fire

£6m leaves us still looking up at the Scots and Italians, let alone the others

I applaud their concern, but from what I've read there's too much of.
What if we do this ? Let's tap into businesses in Wales? Why can't councils help out with business rate relief ? They don't seem to have "dragon' lined up to pour money in. They need far more meat on the bone.

Isn't it £6M + HoL or Y11 or Dai Buttress et al?
WRU isn't the only funding in town. I am definitely no a fan of central contracts.

It's ambition is found wanting when it comes to how to actually achieve these things when finance is brought up.
I'm sure that a number of people across social media will be championing it because it favours the 4 team model but it is lacking in how it would be executed.

Whether you agree with it or not they're appears to be a lot more detail than the WRU's plan.

It looks like that because of how it’s presented, but there’s a lot of amplification and referencing and comparing to the WRU plan. I’m not saying it’s unrealistic. Haven’t gone through in detail yet. |

The devil is in the literal detail and so far, a lot of it is saying things just to appear well thought rather than actually being that. I'll carry on giving it a read in the AM but it's not filling with me any more hope and is just wordier than what the WRU have come up with.

plus 2 big derbies and judgement day and an extra pro region so 40 more pro players available for regional and national selection..it also buys the regions more time to possibly find more money backers and gives a chance to big investors already involved like HOL

Or if you are looking at competition and union funding on the same level as the Prem teams.

There’s 23 NWQ players in Wales. Frankly that’s way too high, and doesn’t benefit the national team as it stands. Having 4 clubs with a significant NWQ component while other talent is in England or France isn’t working. Funding to bring them back and reduce NWQ reliance is a must.

Could this be a catalyst to separate management of the professional game from hobby club influence?

The WRU should be split into 3 1) Professional game 2) Amateur Game 3) Stadium Ok, have a CEO and small board as an overall management team but those three entities should not have any influence over each other. |
