That's interesting. I haven't heard that.

Yeah. Apparently he approached MLR. He's only 30 so could contribute in the league for 4-5 years potentially considering they only play 16 games a season plus finals. He's not the only one who contacted them either.

Joined by Pat Ravouvou. They like their Fijian gold medalist in the MLR.

Out of curiosity. What would you have done?

It's like 4 games. What was he expecting?

From articles last year they appear open to a range of different investment sources. The likes of Tigers and Fiji are Union backed while the Dragons, Kafiga are private and the Force is a bit of a hybrid of the two.

The start of the AFL and NRL has had a big impact on ratings across the board for Rugby and Soccer. But even then. Soccer hasn't been looking great for some time.

The model is clearly broken.

Pretty sure that was a yellow. I don't know. It used to be if they deliberately slapped it forward. Now it appears that even if you are genuinely going for an intercept if you don't pull it off you're staring a potential 10 minutes on the sidelines directly in the face. I think it should be if...

I live in Camden which is close enough I guess. To be honest there's not a lot of excitement at the prospect of an A-League team out this way. At least not yet. Maybe as 2021 comes closer that will build. I don't think if the model is right that Laing Walker buying into the A-League excludes him...

So, the Shute Shield can boast ratings greater than much of the A-League for the past what 10 rounds?

The South American pro league will kick off next March and will feature 6 teams from Argentina (two of Cordoba, Tucuman and Rosario who are all bidding for a spot), Uruguay (both from Montevideo and linked to the two biggest Soccer clubs in the country Nacional and Penarol) and Brazil (one will...

I actually knpw how the MLS system works as I know how MLR works. A number of their leadership group actually have MLS backgrounds.

The MLS model is the one being used by Major League Rugby in the US. And could provide a reasonable model for any such initiative. I know that there's a bond payment required to gain a seat on the board and criteria around financials ensuring they are able to maintain operations for a minimum of...

For Singapore there's a really great looking facility that I cannot remember the name of at the moment that would not only be perfect for them but would look great on TV. As would Mong Kok in HK for the Tigers.

I've seen him in two games so far this season and he was a completely different player yesterday than he was a fortnight ago. He's returning from a long term injury and is only just finding his confidence again (which was unfortunate for Uni yesterday). Might be a little early in his comeback to...

It's going to be a bit of a battle getting the sanctioning for the Hawaii based squad now that the MLR sanctioning has been ratified. I don't know how exclusive it may be but I certainly know who to ask. Not saying it's impossible but seeing as MLR has the sanctioning for professional Rugby in...

Both teams could use Avanguard Stadium which after it's second stage is complete will have 5k seats, heated pitch, indoor running track and gym, extra training facilities and a small hotel. All built specifically for Rugby.

Has anyone covered that Henry Clunes-Ross has been out for the past three week battling a flesh eating virus he contracted playing Easts!!!

How bad is the weather in March? As it's very likely GRR will start in March at the latest? It's also in not too bad of a timezone. They'd need to reach out to GRR for it to happen. Would certainly add a bit of difference to the competition. I've actually managed to see a couple of Einsei's...
