I guess 14 rounds doesn’t necessarily mean 14 weeks, but too long between games gives it less momentum.
Potential for someone to hop O league to A league between seasons, but no real chance to regularly play both with the January to May crossover. Guess it depends on the transfer rules and windows between leagues if an A league player could join an O league team in the January transfer window. And if they have marquees, sponsors, prize money etc.
And thanks for avoiding the red ink on the math there. No math ref out there yet huh? 🫣 Bit of a shocker. Guess they could have a bye for no reason whatsoever. A week’s stopover in Queenstown or Sydney! Or for the Kiwi teams in one of the islands during said June, July period. Maybe two bye weeks, can’t have player burnout!
