As I said, it's just a little curious. Glasgow has 3 50k+ Stadiums alone, SFA own Hampden at 52k, Rangers own Ibrox at 51k and Celtic own Paradise at 60k. Taking the adding the Ayrshires and Inverclyde to consider a "West of Scotland", we've also got Rugby Park, 18k owned by Kilmarnock...

Still seems odd to me that Sports here, both at State level and National level never really seemed bothered with the owning a stadium bit, and never manage it successfully enough if they do. Even the Clubs in the AFL, League and all levels of Soccer, by and large still seem to have...

Simone would be a good choice. Biggest argument against that IMO would be that between Kerevi and Hodge, there's two "inexperienced" centers already, who have exposed Super Form, which is ultimately superior to NRC form. Ah well, just, what? 3 weeks of speculation left? Barely enough time.

Traces of corticosteroids from cortisone injection with appropriate TUEs in place is what's supposedly happening with Carter. Genuinely don't know. Wouldn't surprise me that it would be in France though.

My left field pick is English. He's had an excellent NRC, after a fairly good Super Season. Not that realistic though, between the fake wingers in Hodge & DHP, real wingers in Sefa, Speight & Morahan, plus Koroibete he's well down the pecking order, even after injuries.

Maybe go for the 38 man squad? Two Separate XVs, and a bench. So that nobody who is to start against Ireland plays against the French Barbarians.

Maybe cap him at Sevens over the Summer if you can't get him in the EOYT squad? Looks like he'd make a good Forward to me.

Presto was a nightmare anyway. No HD, worst library of them Netflix and Stan, poor app, rubbish search function, no chromecast or apple TV support. Stan v Netflix for standard stuff on demand programming plus Foxtel Play and individual sports streaming is good enough for now. Not so sure it'll...

7 games last season. 6 in the league, 1 in the Challenge Cup. 3 so far this season. I think only one last season was a start. Between Parisse, Alberts, the other South African and a handful of Frenchies, he's gonne have a hard time IMO.

True, he might be happy in Toulouse/South of France/France/Europe and never plans on coming back to Australia. But an Aussie eligible 196cm 140kg back row playing Union is someone that the ARU and all the Super Sides should at least be making enquiries about. Even if nothing comes of it, it's...

Both sides will know exactly what they need to do to get their best position on the table. Should work out well.

Think he had a 5 year deal to start off with, which would leave him off contract at the end of the current season?

Colby and little red back. Lloyd named at 10. No Toby. 1. Cruze Ah-Nau (Footscray/Melbourne Rebels) 2. Pat Leafa (Box Hill/Melbourne Rebels) 3. Tyrel Lomax (Tuggeranong Vikings (ACT)/Melbourne Rebels) 4. Sam Jeffries (Melbourne University/Melbourne Rebels) 5. Steve Cummins...

More that, if he's expected to be fit for 3 or more Tests, why wouldn't you send him over with the original squad, particularly given it's expected to be slightly larger than normal.

Even 6 weeks out means McMahon is back for France. 4 weeks is the start of the EOYT, and 5 weeks is playing against my lot. If you take a bigger squad rather than the standard 32ish, a Jordy Reid or Jack Dempsey is maybe worth taking as a back up option and to play against my lot and the...

No Shield game? :( :( :( :( :(

Nice to see Whitey get a go, only 24 ATM, lots of time on his side to become a really good ref.

A full length reserve/colts comp is a bit of a pipe dream IMO. But maybe something along the lines of a U19 tournament? Say across two weekends, (maybe the school holidays?) the NRC teams all send an U19 team (with perhaps up to 3 U20 guests) to Sydney. Standard Knock out tournament, with...

I think you almost couldn't afford to do otherwise. Almost any other team in either state would struggle to make any inroads commercially.

Compulsory Colts I can understand from both structural and attempting to increase player retention POVs. 4ths? Fuck off.
