Melbourne Rebels 2025 and beyond...

To say nothing of having to work across international borders. Imagine some poor 19 year old from rural northern Queensland being sent to Dunedin. RI-fucken-P.

Aside from the temperature change that's probably a pretty straight forward adjustment, country town to country town, they'd be right at home once they pulled on the team flannels. It'd be the silver spoon Sydney private school boy who'd really get the wake up call from that move.

Reduced supply of Bundy could be a problem for the regional QLD folk. They'd have to move to Speights...[shudders]

Sans Rebels some (most?) will now go to league

We'll see. From what I can tell the reason Melbourne Storm is full of men who grew up in QLD & NSW is because Storm and the ALRC don't spend any money developing rugby league as a participant sport in VIC.

That's changing. They've jumped into the school based academy space as one example.
