I don't think the members' day is any indicator. On a Tuesday pressing 40c, I'm surprised they got 1500. Interest is rising but there's still a lot of work to do to get the bandwagoner fan.

Great news for the Reds, but I hope they don't all drop off at once.

Rebels 5.5k, aiming for 10k.

At that age, you should still be focusing on making sure everybody gets a go.

Wouldn't read too much into that. I wouldn't be surprised if he returned to Europe after this season, but it would be to the Pro12 or Premiership.

Really? Could have sworn Fox was the major partner in the deal. Ah well.

Should be alright as long as an FTA network gets a slice and the finals. Fox bought the AFL rights and on-sold them to Seven.

Fox/Telstra will lead the charge with NRL, as they did the AFL. League offers them a lot of content, and with 3 sports channels to fill with ads, it works for them. I wouldn't be surprised if Fox bought the entire rights package and on-sold 3 or so games to Nine/Ten. I'd be very surprised if...

Stannard to the rescue?

Oh God no.

As in the main game in NSW and QLD compared to the main game in VIC/SA/TAS/WA. I like watching the Storm but I just don't see how people can prefer league over AFL. International Rules used to be a big spectacle 10 years or so ago. Since they stopped forcing the All-Australian team to play and...

Yes, AFL is seriously underrated by you lot up north. The fact that it's compared to league so often is quite insulting for us Victorians :P The TV angles don't do it justice. Just don't get the wrong impression once GWS starts up.

You've obviously never met his Delve-iness. You shan't be unenlightened for long.

Well anyway, hopefully you grab a Rebs membership (I've heard good things about the REBEL ARMY BLUE MEMBERSHIP HINT HINT) and get down to a few games. It's better than doing nothing! (new motto I'm working on) Make sure you get down to Turf Bar and meet the loyalists, we'll try to convince...

The Australian is Murdoch as well, but the long ago fired any unique journalists. All wire agencies and existing NewsLtd-folk.

Yeah the Hun is an abortion of a newspaper. Disregard. Rolls off the tongue better.

Contradicting yourself quicker than usual, MT :p

Ahh you're more than welcome, as long as you're kitted out in navy blue every other game. Just stay away from Gav at Saders games as this is a bug-bear of his :P

AFL, then Union at about 10, then every other sport imaginable, then League. Ahh Melbourne...
