Hamish McClellan wishes he could kill Australian grassroots rugby with anything near the efficacy of poor urban planning and zoning regulations

the question needs to be put to the locals as "would you rather have businesses you'd patronise at GPS or a big mob of the midday pokie creatures hammering away at the video screens?"

Easts in Sydney was impressive to me for that reason. Fully licensed bar and restaurant that attracts a regular non-rugby crowd and families booking out the outdoor space for birthday parties. Granted they probably have more money available than most to get that going.

The japanese players I see around club rugby fit that exact mold. Undersized front rowers or halves that are ridiculously fit and good for the full 80.

losing both flyhalfs and the comp leading try scorer probably hits harder than the usual horse trading though

If you think a subset of players aren't getting paid directly by clubs or indirectly through employment opportunities/discounted housing, I have a bankrupt casino shaped like a toilet to sell you.

Time is a flat circle

Jock occasionally gets a run at 10 when he plays club for UQ as well.

Hip drop tackles to me seem like the result of the tackler giving up on using leg drive to carry momentum into the ball carrier and instead pulling their lower body up and in the direction of their arm wrap. There's a subjective argument you could drop the height of where your arms wrap to the...

I imagine MLR and making cameo appearances at events like HK10s this past weekend is the future for him. Would put him in the same space as a lot of rugby and non-rugby content makers.

Has Quade actually put the boots on for GPS yet or are people assuming he's aligned with them because his younger brother played there instead of Souths?

might be one of those occurrences where legislating it out of the game causes more issues than it fixes

How has the Joey Manu experiment gone in Japan? Don't follow the Japanese leagues closely but have heard he's been underwhelming from people around me.

Buckets of rain predicted for the weekend, any rumblings about procedure if games get called off? Particularly thinking of GPS at UQ since the university is very touchy about their grounds.

A down year for Uni seems possible. Heaps of injuries and many of their contracted players will be in the Reds main squad and then on Wallaby duties.
