With the broncos unlikely to make it much further a potential NRC debut for Hunt post NRL finals would have to be looking particularly appetizing.

If the notice is there Fox may well jump in and take it. Wouldn't be a bad result though I suppose I'd rather it was an away game, given I can already see all the home ones. Looking at the draw and assuming it's for City, round 7 vs the Rams at Pirtek would probably be the one of most value to the comp as a whole.

Fox sports streamed the Australian Barbarians on fox sports.com.au when they played canada in 2011.
Foxtel Play/Go shows sky news as a free test channel. It would be good if we could get any of the streamed NRC stuff to feed into a "free sports" channel on that platform as that would enable viewing on Apple devices as well as anything running foxtel play (like samsung tvs/blu ray and xbox 360).

Maybe it has been mention somewhere in GAGR before , but I have a question. The NRC was form to promote and further increase the exposure of local talent who wish to try and make a career out of this game and so the gap between club level and super rugby was not such big jump. So my question is , so does that mean every player playing in this new NRC comp is eligible to play for the Wallabies?? If they are not why pick them in front of local talent.??

The majority of Blokes playing in the NRC would have played either Super Rugby, Club Rugby, or both within Australia this season. There are a few exceptions, off the top of my head, Steve Mafi (Australian born Tonga international Lock/Blindside, signed for the Force in 2015), Cameron Treloar (Aussie Lock played in France for the last decade, swan song for NSW Country) and a couple of Pasifika boys signed for 1 or 2 NSW sides.
Most of these blokes would be Australian eligible. Of the rest, they're split into Blokes who could be eligible to play for Aus after residency (e.g. Telusa Veainu and Sefanaia Naivalu of the Rising), or players who've been internationally capped by a Pacific Nation, either at Full level or Sevens.
The experience that the other 29 blokes on the field would get playing with a full professional like Steve Mafi would be a bit more important than the 80 minutes into a Lock who could simply be journeyman player.

Almost all the players are eligible to play for the Wallabies.
This competition isn't just about development. It's a national championship involving all but the top 25 or so players in the country. The aim for the teams should be to win the title, not simply to develop players for higher levels.

And let's not forget one salient point: development of match officials.
We have been sorely lacking of late, and these guys also need support and training to get up to international standard.
Did I say "guys"? We had Amy Perret running the line at Parra Stadium on Thursday night. She's only recently been elevated to full refereeing of Shute Shield games, and this is a great step moving forward.

Yep. Good ref - doesn't love herself like some of them, and the boys don't give her much shit either. I've had a female ref in Subbies once or twice. Most blokes don't know what to do when their brotherly instincts kick in and they want to go "aw ref!" then realise they're whining to a chick

We have Rachel Horton up here as well - first Prems match this year. Knows her rugby bloody well. With the rise of 7s because of the Olympics, we should have more 7s and 15s refs available across both genders and making a positive impact in NRC as well. Much needed as you say Pfitzy.
Pass it to Dunning!

The Rams had it half-price if you liked them on Facebook, so maybe it was a ploy to get more followers. But it didn't seem to attract any more punters.
