Save Your Breath
I’ve stayed away from the whole NPC death match until things become clearer.
Part of the problem is that the debate has largely been on emotional rather than any attempt to consider the issues in a logical manner.
Case in point: Save Our Teams.
The site’s mission is nothing but worthy:
The NZRU Constitution clearly states, under Objects And Powers, that the union is to “promote, foster and develop rugby throughout New Zealand”.
So help us to preserve the Air New Zealand / Heartland Championship in its current format and to convince the NZRU that the smaller unions should not be axed…
Perhaps I can help with a modified mission?
To adopt a narrow-minded, blinkered, parochial and rose-tinted view of the NPC and go back to the future.
Naturally, the will want all ABs to play, all games played in the day, ohh and no TV coverage because that was what it was like.
The issue that these flat earthers consistently over look is who’s going to pay for it?
You can have all the heritage and history you want, but at the end of the day someone has to pay for it.
The same people who demand that the NZRFU keep 14 teams in the NPC are likely to be the same who demand that the AB’s play in the NPC instead of touring the UK … when they earn the money to pay the NPC wages.
Save our teams? Save your breath.
