Yes I will just index the cumulative votes each week to a set number, say 10.

that's probably not a bad idea, both weeks so far it has been 9 though.

For interests sake, here is the cumulative team, which is just from the last 2 rounds. There will still be a bit of mystery for the final round as that week the Round 10 votes will replace the round 5 votes, to keep the number of games per team even. I'm tallying votes, not appearances in...

Love it, looks great!

I think what we are seeing here is the RA strategy of focusing on keeping the top 30 players, and 30 developing players and letting the middle tier sort itself out. We don't know the details of the contract yet but perhaps it just a one year deal and with the uncertainty around the comp for next...

OK I thought it was just like OS travellers, could still come in but had to quarantine. EDIT: OK I see, it's only for NSW residents.

Why didn’t he just come up and stay in hotel for 2 weeks?

I'll do the cumulative team each week too if people would like that? EDIT - I'll wait till later in the week for this, otherwise I can expect lots of 'but <so-and-so> didnt play this week' comments.

GAGR Team of the week as below: 1. C. Orr (REB) 2. J. Uelese (REB) 3. H. Johnson-Holmes (WAR) 4. M. Philip (REB) 5. N. Hanigan (WAR) 6. J. Dempsey (WAR) 7. M. Hooper (WAR) 8. I. Naisarani (REB) 9. J. Gordon (WAR) 10. A. Deegan (REB) 11. M. Koroibete (REB) 12. M. To'omua (REB) 13. C. Magnay...

Kind of. I think it safe to say that McLennan/Clarke are reigniting some of the discussions with the broadcasters that were started by RC. The big difference is that at that time we were still ‘sheep’ under the old Super Rugby model, whereas now they are actually showing some leadership as to...

QWERTY is talking about the reference in the video article, that NZ fans allegedly prefer an 8 team TT to a 10 team one. He’s not talking about the Super 8.

Koroibete is an interesting one because he played loig in NSW but never rugby. Wold probably get ticked off on that basis.

That's a bit different because they're actually at school at the time. And it serves the purpose of allowing the talent scouts to get a look at everyone, regardless of their background.

I think he's using first senior game. I have a fairly comprehensive spreadsheet which I compiled one rainy day when this first got thrown around earlier in the year. I rooted each player by both where they played when they turned 16 and by first senior game. I don't want to clutter up this...

Do it this way so they can target combinations: First coach gets to pick his front row Second coach picks his front row, then his locks. First coach picks his locks, then his back row. Second coach - back row then halves First coach - halves then centres Second coach - centres then back...

I think that if we have a comp with Reds and Tahs in it then the Qld v NSW Origin will just confuse the hell out of people. I don’t mind the origin concept as representative teams selected from the preceding comp as a precursor to Tests (I.e. Wallabies selection trials) but I don’t think they...

I get that. I’m thinking more towards getting the best players included in the Qld/NSW teams. As wild card or draft inclusions or something like that. Not something I could put my finger on at this point in time, but there will be a way.

McLennan is quoted in the article as saying that the discussions he has had with Japan about it are ‘promising’. So I’m inclined to think he’s consulted with the other nations about it too. RA doesn’t have a great track record, I’ll grant you that, but this bloke isn’t an idiot.

I get where you are coming from, and they can’t discard the other states completely. I think in the first instance though the solution is to incorporate their best players into the main game, rather than try to concoct some sort of lower level game which the general public aren’t going to be...

Jack needs to back up this week. Next week too. And the one after that. Etc. Both Jacks in fact.
