There's a lot of chat about the 'Manning Cast' alternate stream in the US for the NFL, and now the NBA is setting up their own. https://www.sportscasting.com/nba-embracing-future-attempt-copy-nfl-2-million-viewer-success-story/ Initiatives like this will eventually trickle down to AU sport...

I always thought AAMI Park would be a great venue for a World 7s tournament, and a good gateway to get the city into Rugby

Yeah I was very surprised that they chose AAMI Park for the super round, to be honest. Really interesting to see how hard they go on the marketing and PR. Meanwhile, Sunday afternoon games is awesome for Rebels families. Really try and own that timeslot a bit. Storm have always done okay at...

Fair enough, agree to disagree. I would have chosen a week when there wasn't something else to write about from a Rugby perspective, but each to their own

A positve; the backrow is developing, the Victorian Robs look good at this level and are growing. Get Pistol Pete in there for an all-Victorian back row this weekend if Hoops can't play ;) I would be drawing a line in the sand and only playing Quade (when available) or Noah at 10 moving...

Always likely the way with a short timeframe to build a team, but a long way off a Pasifika powerhouse and you'd imagine that a lot of the players without Super Rugby...

Yeah they can get around 50k AUD and accom and a couple of flights - and then if they supplement it with an NPC deal they can push six figures - but that's close to the ceiling at this point so if a young player goes over there and plays really well, they'd then be looking elsewhere (AU, Japan...

Over 100 games for London Irish based on this: http://www.itsrugby.fr/joueurs/oli-hoskins-26280.html

Wonder if Toni Pulu might end up there?

Six years is incorrect. 4 seasons, and was regularly stuck behind Meakes, English & Hodge in the centres

ABs to rack up 50+

Bryce Hegarty is at Leicester but hasn't played a game, so not sure if he is injured? Sefa Naivalu out with a broken foot..

I wonder if any other Aussie/Fijians might get a gig? Where's Chris Kuridrani?
