It's not moot - again, my point is if the product is well executed and well marketed (like the WC), the fans will come. Australia has some of the most fickle, bandwagoning fans in the world - the only way to get people interested is through success. The only way to achieve success...

The 1,977,824 people who attended the 64 women's football world cup games may beg to differ. Average stadium capacity of 75%. There is absolutely interest when the product is funded, promoted, and well executed.

This ain't Eddie's first rodeo - he knows exactly what he's doing. How many articles (and pages of this thread) have been written as a result of his mini blowup? How many do you reckon would've been written if he'd just toed the line?

Is this payback for the submarines?

On official stats, Wilkin has 3cm and 2kg on McReight… I’m sure there’d be a photo of them side-by-side somewhere which can be evidenced, but there really doesn’t appear to be much in it

Some interesting discussions being head around the use of 'Guardian Caps' in the NFL (effectively headgear over a typical helmet) https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-says-positions-wearing-guardian-caps-saw-52-decrease-in-concussions...

It is a very promising young side; although probably less so when four of the backline are playing out of position, as you proposed...

The RM gear's getting around Bonus random Souths supporter

His left arm is definitely in a position to wrap (in the most basic sense of the word) pre-contact. The right arm is too at a point, but he does cock it at the moment of impact.

This really is a fantastically put together video. For anyone familiar, it's extremely similar to McLaren F1's Unboxed series on youtube

It alternates between a QLD and NSW location, but I don't think Roma (and Narrabri, where it was held this year) were the only locations they were to be held? Could be wrong, but that was my impression.

I wonder if the left arm clearly wrapping (as much as you can for a should charge) meant the panel didn’t see it as a shoulder charge, but an upright tackle?

I could be wrong too - regardless, the panel applied mitigation, so I imagine they believed they had grounds to do so

Is the NT trip over? I saw JOC (James O'Connor) is in Sydney

I don’t believe shoulder-to-head contact in a tackle is (always) considered an intentional or always illegal act, which is intended for striking and the like.

I agree, but playing devil's advocate, I think the camera angles are a bit deceptive. Using the 5m from touch line as a reference point, you can see in the below photos that George pushes Basham across a about a metre (left foot to left foot) towards touch/Farrell Point of George's first...

At the very least, we should get the Festival of Rugby again somewhere regional? Nice to see your French coming along before the WC kicks off too ;)
