rumours on twitter from npl central is that melbourne knights have withdrawn, balking at the 50k fee for just submitting a proposal with vague instructions.

Anyone have more info on this?

Who rashly knows what’s going on with the NSD. If JJ goes to FIFA let’s hope that doesn’t change the thinking as he has appeared to be a strong supporter of the concept.

As for each club, they all have the right to opinions about what’s on the table, but at no point would anyone have considered this an easy or cheap exercise to participate in. It does carry significant risk to clubs given the outlay and unknowns of the financial benefits of being part of it. 

One thing is for sure though, each on or off-field incident that occurs that involves one of the ‘ethnic’ clubs will get the spotlight on it in seconds, which also serves to ramp up the risk to the competition. Sad but true. 

It is something with a lot of feel good about it, but time will tell if it actually works out. 

fair summary.... its ALL speculation at the moment...
