Anyway. According to a bloke on twitter. The conditional participation of both the Drua and Moana is set to be announced today. I guess we'll see.

How often does the Central West play say Penrith. Or the Two Blues? It won't be a case of them playing another country region more than an opportunity to play one Sydney clubs. And for those kind of games I'd actually give them the benefit of hosting. If thought out there wouldn't be any...

Which is why you try to limit the distances by splitting the country into regions. Like something similar to how I suggested above. Not perfect but you could cut a lot of the cost of the travel down.

Do the Pro 14 teams play in it?

The only way I could see that happening is if it were a mix of Clubs and rep squads. So instead of Knox Old Boys playing Warringah it could be NSW/Sydney Suburban vs Warringah. Or Penrith vs the Illawarra. But it would still be limited to purely the semi-pro/amateur levels as there's no way I'd...

If they are limited and it eliminates the TMO interfering with the flow of the game. Then it might be alright. I keep saying 'flow' because I actually think that's more important than speed. Keeping the game moving is important but not at the expense of having a good contest. The NRL are seeing...

The extra time variations come up so little that I don't see them as much of an issue. I'm going to go in the opposite direction and actually suggest more variations. In MLR they are trialing the 60 second shot clock. Which is working well. I'd like to see it tried here. I also want stricter...

Also suffers from being viewed by Soccer fans as a significantly inferior product compared to the big leagues in Europe.

Looked at some of the A League ratings from this season and cannot see much of a future in its current guise. So looking at that game with regionals and Stan it's probably looking at around the 150-200k mark. I think it's fair to say we're definitively the 3rd football code at present. Well...

Will be really interested to see if there's a bump come TT time.

Then stop trying to pass it off as some kind of inside running.

You've mentioned some unnamed bloke who's told you things about the situation of the bid on a number of occasions. It's funny that while you seem to think you don't need to back up your position by providing anything, you are now asking for proof of your own words. You know you've said it. I...

You have tried to talk with some authority on the situation of the Fiji bid being contrary to what our media has reported. Being wrong because of some guy that while not being involved is somehow privy to what would otherwise be commercial in confidence discussions, which you claim has never...

Nope. With the exception of the 'Capt. Challenge' which is only applied in Super Rugby Ao. The rest have worked out really well. They were designed to maintain the general flow of the game and they've worked a treat. If you had to cut something for the TT. It's the 'Capt. Challenge'. That's it. As for...

Yeah. But that game just deserves eyeballs watching. Fantastic spectacle.

Honestly, if this game doesn't crack the 100k mark in the ratings then I don't know what will.

Well, I was entertained.

Reds are definitely missing Paisami. But Flook has managed to not only get into space but make it on nearly every touch. Impressive from the young bloke.

Never thought I'd actively wish a fellow Gregs Old Boy to miss the kick. But I just did.

Liking Flook. Not big but manages to push through the gap in contact pretty consistently.
