[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1089144, member: 73648"] usually tier 2 nations get good old boys from the World Rugby job placement program but I could see them digging deeper for their golden ticket. To kind of merge with the MLR thread, we badly need a CEO figure with our national team/ national program. Someone who has the connections to get our players into European clubs and academies. We can hire people underneath him to figure out the tactics but I'd really like to see someone come in and say "we are a professional outfit, you will play with professional sides while we work on getting MLR where it needs to be. If we can't get you to Europe we will help you be the best professional you can be stateside." I can't express the pride I feel when I see A'iinu playing for Toulouse or Timo for Montpellier. A kid who went through the American youth system playing playing in the biggest stage of rugby. We have a scrum half at Toulouse but would be great if we could get some more into professional setups. I'm sure Gold is doing the best he can but right now we are mix of professionals, guys who are paid to pay rugby but do it part time playing against semi-pros, and one or two college kids. We badly need a shake up in environment. [/QUOTE]
