    Only viewing this from afar (and not following it especially closely) but there just seems to be a vibe to back what you're saying.

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    Thought he was leading a cancer charity or something these days, Shanky. Don't know if I'd expect a middle-aged former test forward to look like Pierce Brosnan. But so long as he's lucent, ... and can say "duck à l'orange"?

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    Am aware it's not a new idea. It's also not a great idea. Geographically far, plus timezone stretch and a new startup for high-level rugby. At least Japan is only geographically far ... and even that idea is not easy to achieve.

    Am not saying it's a good option. Unfortunately rugby administration in Australia is perennially bereft. Hawaii / California is clownshop, if true... Maybe it is merely a Newscorp invention

    Maybe the Vics have a cancelled cheque left over after they euthanised the Comm Games? If these jokers can cut a cheque for the big event, then maybe they should help keep their local team alive ...

    Yeah, even if there is animosity, I still want a team based in Melbourne.

    True ... But it's all about $elling $eats to $uckers ... even if I could secure tickets I wouldn't be flying there to sit in them.

    The analogy doesn't work and the NRL will never be what the NFL is.

    Neither comparison works. Best takeaway is: We.are.not.America. Sure, there are some commonalities but they're greatly outweighed by the difference. If you start with a U.S. template, you need to dial it down by 10.
