Rays won 48-28. Entertaining enough game I thought. Rising made way too many handling errors and the Rays made the most of it. LT was one of the worst offenders, he must have lost the ball in contact at least three times. One highlight that's worth watching if you can - Jack Mac is lining up a...

He was signed with the Rebels for 2018 but has just signed a contract to play for the Hurricanes from 2019. He asked for and was given an early release. A top, young talent lost to the Darkness.

NRC Round 3 Sydney Rays v Melbourne Rising Saturday 16 September 2017 Pittwater Rugby Park, Sydney Kick-off: 3.00pm (AEST) Broadcast: LIVE stream via foxsports.com.au or FOX SPORTS app.

In the event that we can't pick up a top Loose Head I think any one of the three bad smells you mentioned would be OK as a depth option. We should go hard after Vui though.

This pretty much completely ignores the state the VFL were in back in the 80s when they started their expansion. Half the clubs were broke, they didn't have a massive TV deal, and the league was dominated by a few rich clubs. They did have vision though. And a plan.

I'm not sure if you're 100% correct there with your assessment of the AFL's expansion into Sydney. It was pretty much a botched effort but they learned from the mistakes they made. They relocated a broke, struggling South Melbourne to Sydney and they continued to be broke and struggle. The AFL...

Anyone have any clues as to who the other three interviewees were? I assume Hilton would have been one.

Apparently, he has requested an early release. I hope they give it to him.

Just reading this article and wondering if Sean McMahon could be one of the marquee players heading to the Sunwolves? It seems odd that his Japanese team hasn't been named even though their season has started already. You would think that the team in Japan would be blasting that news out at...

I think he's suggesting that a Super team should sign him.

IIRC, there are a couple of problems with Lakeside: the end goal area is too short and the soccer types don't want rugby played all over their nice lawn. Otherwise, would be ideal. When Rising played at AAMI the crowds were around the 1800-2000 mark. People seem to like having a seat.

Parking is also a big issue at that ground but more than made up for through proper beer at decent prices :) I thought a lot of the Rising boys were running on fumes towards the end but that's going to happen when you're tackling 15 props all day.

Emmanuel Latu-Meafou - he is one huge kid

Maddocks is a gun! It was a bloody shame he bunged up his arm last year. Still, I don't think he'd start over DHP, yet (not till round 3 or 4 at least :D).

How does this wish list team look? 1. Fereti 2. Chibba 3. Weeks 4. Parling 5. Coleman 6. LT 7. Colby 8. Mafi 9. Genia 10. Lance 11. Koroibete 12. Meakes 13. Hodge 14. Sefa 15. DHP 16. Uelese 17. Vui 18. Faulkner 19. Arnold 20. Hardwick/RHP 21. Horwitz 22. Maddocks 23. Goddard

All of the above plus Vui and Arnold or Philips would be pretty sweet. And, I'd take Meakes any day of the week. A Meakes/Hodge midfield would go alright.

I prefer Jordan's haircut to Bip's ;)

I thought Rory O'Connor did well last week. It looks like he's getting a decent audition. I'd like to see McGregor and Goddard get some time on the field together.
