That's how I see it too.

According to people in Chicago I've spoken to there's been no visible advertising from AIG. It's a shame. This is an American national team, about to go to the World Cup!

That makes sense. Hansen's probably there for just that reason.

Or Old Caledonia.

Omar Comin' thanks for that. I'll put it in the next set of Tweets to Gagger to go out in our wee campaign, in case he hasn't already picked up on it.

I'd have taken Lilo over Beale if it was just inside back backup.

It's not a lie, but I know what you mean. I just disagree. It's more than just talent. It's systems, and depth, and experience playing that particular brand of rugby. We probably do have the cattle. They just have to spend a world cup cycle or two playing Jakeball to be good enough at...

Alphabet could be quite good when he masters the game.

Hanson will undoubtedly find himself in England soon, holidaying. At the matches, watching.

That's a damned good team.

I think he's as free to be as unconventional as he needs to be to give us a chance of winning, if our goal is to win, which I think it is. If (as Fatprop suggests) we have a 10% chance of winning by playing conservatively (and that's generous, if you calculate the knockout odds realistically)...

What I find odd is that all the teams who have only minor chances don't think in game theory terms. Instead they play conventionally, in the hope that this time, they'll suddenly be able to elevate their conventional performance to the level needed to win. I don't mean that they should...

The thing is, that if we play to those skills, we'll eventually lose to teams that are better at them than we are. Because our attack is potentially a point of difference for us, we have to play to it, and thus aim to become the team for whom attack won a world cup. That's basic game theory...

I agree. That gear change is potentially a weapon. Most other teams will be changing down (or wearing down) at that point. Giteau's sidewise (if it's Gits that starts at 12) is not such a problem in the sideline-to-sideline style we seem to have developed for the opening part of the game, with...

I'll be very surprised if that's the A team lineup. It'll be Phipps, Foley, Giteau / To'omua. In my opinion.

These 8s who TV viewers insist have no impact do very well in player polls. Perhaps it's because their impact is only apparent at close quarters.

Twitter could be the most productive channel. Promote three hashtags: #FillSoldierField #ThirtyJarrydHaynes #RealSportsFans Ditto Facebook Civil wars are good. Flame wars are one way for something to go viral.

The other highlights reel that will wow the American's is Quade's.

I just PM'd Gagger. We could run it on the front page if G&GR like the idea. We'd reach out as fans.

I'm going to make a leftfield suggestion. How do you cross-promote Hayne? Shamelessly. This is a huge social media opportunity. If the USA Eagles and the ARU are too prissy to do it, then why don't we? I reckon I could get a list of US sports bloggers and journalists. We could send a G&GR...
