But we are running a process led by New Zealand Rugby looking at the submissions that have been put forward
they are making sure they do the the right due diligence on those proposals to see if there is any chance a new owner could come in and take that franchise forward so that's where we're at i know everyone wants a timeline on that we don't have a hard timeline on it because um you know the time that is required is the time it will take and it should be given the right amount of time
Having said that, you know, we are on a short runway.
We need to get things sorted for 2027 and we're running parallel paths on that.
So a lot of scenario planning being done for the 10-team competition so that we're ready to go to start running draws and, you know, all of that work sort of well progressed.
Or the MP decision or just more for the MP, as I said, yeah, there's, there's no, there's no hard timeline and, and, and, uh, you know, I'm not going to speculate on what it is.
What I will say is that, you know, I certainly have a hard cutoff for, for getting the draw public.
Um,
you know need to support the clubs in getting that done last year that was that was in august and and that's the latest we want it to be so you know i think through through june and july um yeah we will be doing work to make sure that we have a draw for 2027 and provide clarity for for all of our stakeholders so there's a short runway uh on the mp decision to enable that work to happen to get a draw complete and and public
All of those things are being looked at at the moment in terms of what 10-team looks like in both regular season and finals.
So, yeah, all options are still on the table and we're working to finalise what that contingency plan, if we did go to 10-team...
would be.
Yeah, I think a big tick.
And some of the law changes we've brought in, just whilst small, passing back in for the 50-22, being a bit more lenient on where the free kick, so that we're not calling back free kicks.
I think those things are positive.
And that combined with just a reduction of dead time, I think a big tick.
Yeah, we're talking about that, particularly off a scrum, you know, five metre scrum.
The halfbacks have probably got a little too easy at the moment.
So, yeah, we've already started discussions about that.
And, you know, we'll look at making sure that we tighten that up.
