General NZ National Premiership

Yeah it was actually nice to see a fair amount of well constructed tries.

I've had the same thoughts too. I'm starting to wonder if we should shift our league season out of the winter bog in NZ so we can actually give our skill based players more chance to shine.

Would also naturally speed the game up and prepare kids for Aussie conditions better.

The only way league could get out of the winter bog would be to have a dedicated league hub like Christchurch has. All the fields are council owned in Auckland (except Cornwall Park) so summer sports get them for 6 months.
