3 year term is a good to see, he's going to need a decent runway to get the tahs back to something reasonable and hopefully build some enduring stability.

that runway is called “the Hume highway”

totally expecting DM to recruit some of the current players he is responsible for developing down in the ACT

That would be surprising as there are so many off contract from the rebels roster he would have to pick up first

I'm doubtful their contracts cover any such scenario of playing in a foreign competition for another organisation. Not to mention whose paying for all the players living abroad costs?
Yeah, I hear you. In this purely hypothetical situation, the union* would cover the cost of accommodation, travel etc for this 11 week competition, as they already do for their currently contracted players. As for contracts allowing playing in foreign competitions, this may not be the case now, but I'm sure this could be included into any future contracts, plus a certain additional bonus payment for those keen to take up a spot in an NPC team. I'd imagine a situation where each Aus Super team has a partnership with a handful of NZ NPC teams. Southland as an example are already partnered with Toyota Verblitz which sees a handful of their players playing in our local club comp. This agreement was made purely because Toyota felt their fringe sqaudies needed more game time. Sounds familiar.

*by union - I mean the local NZ union, re, BOP, Canterbury etc.

Real graphic design is my passion areas.

It's actually quite amazing. They've included three different photos of McKellar, kept a Brumbies logo in there and had McKellar shouting at himself.

It presumably took quite a while to put together and I have no idea what they were going for.

And is that a Brumbreeze logo I see in the opaque bit under his head?

This is genuinely amazing. The original photo for this one looks to be this.

But then they've layered that over the top of the main image so the Brumbies logo is floating out over his neck?!?

Feels a bit like after copping flack for posting the Raiwalui appointment with a photo of him in a Fiji shirt they've tried (badly) to cover up other teams logos in the graphic and it hasn't gone well.

This effort threatens the podium-topping brainfarts from Waratahs' interns.

I don't understand though. The main photo (which is the only one they needed) doesn't have any logos on it from what I can tell.

The image with the logo could have been cropped very easily to not include the logo.
