Probably because of the weird scheduling that happens in a lions tour year.

Also, no back to back games at home either? I always thought you get 2 home games after your trip to the republic (or one home game + a bye).
Hands Off Seven!

So excited for Quade to be back.
I'm one of the few who doesn't rate Frisby highly, has talent but can be a second or 2 too slow to arrive at the breakdown and does a teensy too much dumb stuff.
Hopefully he can leave Quade to do the melt wax to fix his wings, lose his shirt and pawn his rings stuff and Pickles can concentrate on firstly being an ace distributor.
Be nice to have Will back in the form he's in right now.
Anyway excited for the new season, liking the look of the squad and coach and I think the lack of local derbies early in the season is a good thing, builds the interest into the season.

Do we know if there are no derbies until round 10, or just none played in Brisbane?

I reckon it would be just none played in brisbane

Is that Matt or Alex?
Maf (Matt) played a few games this year covering for Saia.
I think Alex was injured.

Frisby's development seemed to taper a bit this season, but same could be said about all players. Having a highly experienced 5/8 should help improve Frisby's game and take some of the workload off his shoulders.

Something I am very much looking forward to.

Might be holding the Oz derbies back so you've got someone to play while the B&IL are getting knocked around from pillar to post? I saw & posted a draft draw somewhere that had everyone starting at the same time but your teams starting back a week after the SA & a week before the NZ teams.

Houston named Man of the Match in his first game back at Bath.

Fans seen to love him too. A "Leroy" chant goes up everytime he gets the ball

Just watched the Bath/Worcester match, WTF can't Houston perform like that in the NRC?Wouldn't be in the least surprised if Leroy decides to stay in Blighty.
I'm guessing it's because it IS the NRC. Why would he risk injury to play in a competition substantially below his level and to prove what? He is being paid to play in the big leagues of the UK's Premiership and Super rugby.
