And given our reality, I've heard much worse ideas than well run franchises (emphasis being on well run) as the top tier of the domestic game.There needs to be a governing body. Why would we think another would do anything much better? While there are huge divides between club and country interests and the pro game and the amateur against a backdrop of declining participation (probably irreversible) and TV interest (possibly reversible but tough) and being a minority sport to start with its a virtually impossible job.</blockquote>
