This is good. Big 23 year old backrower who is in form. Got a bit of Ekuasi about him
Re "getting the crowds back"
I can see the logic of Fridays nights consistently being game night
1/ Over 500,000 people work in the CBD each day
2/ Getting the habit started for a subset to use the good public transport to get to the game
The same kind of habit was created for a while when Sydney FC was playing at North Sydney oval and a load of the gilet wearing worker drones rolled in for the match
and the rusted ons are going to turn up more often than not anyway

One is a Kiwi hooker, the others are the Wildfires' next wave of stars. All are about to get a taste of Super Rugby

Good to see fellas from Hunter getting some recognition for a decent year. I know Scott Coleman is the Coach but Darren being the DoR up there is a good thing. He does find talent that can feed through. Vailanu was one of DCs find as well right? Had him around the SS > MLR > NSW
Tahs are also improved by having a Bruce on the roster.

Hopefully he's not on the roster they already have one non eligible hooker, this bloke won't help anyone as a 29 yojourneyman by the start of next super rugby season they need to develop players long term and this competition is one of the first places in McKellar's reign that he can do this.
Does anyone know what Jack Bowen's injury is?

Was just thinking about that. Played the Lions game and not sighted since.
That's a very young/inexperienced group of backs. Personally find it exciting to see some of them have a go.

Commiserations to the Rats ,Shute Shield champions and only 2 players in, the Golden triangle strikes yet again.

Only six players elevated from the Shute Shield... from five separate clubs.
It doesn't really scream bias...

6 outside of the current contracted players is about right. You can't flood it with Club guys if you want the comp to be a step up from the Club comp and actually prepare players for higher honours. It's a battle to earn a contract and see if the academy guys are ready for the next level.
