very occasionally @mediaweekaus reports on it. Like once a season.

Mens sevens coach is such a poisoned chalice. Is there a better way to derail a coaching career* in this country? (*Excludes Reds coach obviously)

The teams should have just rested the players for away games only, preferably ones at odd hours, and then barely anyone would give a shit. Makes me think this is all a Shute Shield/NSWRU conspiracy to piss off RA. No funding revenge like having to answer complicated strength and conditioning...

Anyway - crowds don't really matter. The competition has a $55m AUD per year TV deal. There's the benefit of a GMT timezone

How many coaches have been at a team medium/long term and had dramatic success or improvement over that term? My impressions is that's not how it works. Coaches tend to have success quickly - in which case if they aren'tworking, it makes sense to try someone new Edit:- To answer my own...

Good to see some consequences for one of the worst tackles attempted this season

Southern Kings average attendance this year = 2,986, Cheetahs average attendance = 4,567 Both significantly inflated by all reports
