Big problem is it needs money/sponsorship which needs a return. I'm guessing but, the TRS cars must be leased and Toyota is heavily subsidizing this and TV coverage. ( I believe some of our automotive and racer heavy weights pitch money in too)

No-one will. That's my point- that's why the limited funding should be spent in the sphere on young player development, not a vanity series that can't find an self-sustaining audience. Spending that funding on journeyman players lifestyles- i just don't get what that actually achieves for NZ Football.

How does the National League improve outcomes for the All Whites in any of the proposed four formats?
