Heard we have something like 100 Australians playing pro rugby ( at various levels of $) around the world. Our problem has never been talent, its been the lack of $ to keep them in Australia. Pretty much luck football around the world for almost every country apart from the big 3-4.

maybe 2 years overseas will see him improve and he'll come back a better player.

Out of interest, when Shore is referenced with an E - is that from the England in their official name?

now THAT is an excellent idea. The thought of their gobby fans fills me with unnatural anger. BIL Fan - We are a team made up of 4 countries and we are going to beat you... Wallaby Fan - um yes you probably will. How insightful. BIL fan - yeah suck on that. Wallaby fan - umm ok.

agreed. Cant see how playing mungo is going to make him a better rugby player. He has great hands, good kicker and one of the better tacklers in rugby - A player I rate.

not suggesting football is a fringe sport....

Thanks Groundskeeper. You are as insightful and intelligent as your dad.

well Wisey - thats life in the corporate world big fella, so get over it.

I think Knox Old Boys have the players to to Div 2 if they get the pipeline from the school going again who I think have 8 grades at school in opens?. Before they imploded they were doing pretty well in Div 1 for a while with 6 teams. Requires some serious recruitment, strong leadership, fairy...

Last in cricket, last in rowing… The football result is solid but crowing about fringe sports is a stretch.
