Big assumption that the Australian public 1) Won’t get sick of the same 5 teams going at each other year on year 2) After a year or two start to look at super AU as a bit of a joke competition and held in the same contempt as the A-League is. I absolutely hate soccer, but I know enough to...

I'd be more ok with it if the insurance was actually good. All sport insurance in Australia is crap, they just have to have it for public liability

Jesus, don't worry VassMan, i thought it was a reasonable enough question to ask

Poor bastard, i'd be filthy at my parents if they chose to raise me in England over sunny QLD

2 grades, 2 colts, not against just one colts either. Send the rest back to subbies You want to be a rep football competition, start acting like one

It’s not a rep team, it’s a semi pro competition

Stan announced they were broadcasting it live earlier today

I'd tend to agree but they've got the benefit of being popular and the only avenue to play, similar to the NFL, they can afford to be ruthless to the extreme
