    "Scheduled" ... but still being considered by the rebels ... so yeah, not certain.

    Why announce a fixture if it's not confirmed yet? If it falls through you end up looking like a goose.

    The article also didn't explain what was meant by this, unless I missed it...

    "He also provided the first hint that Forrest and his Mindaroo team were not intending to start from scratch in Asia but could piggyback off existing structures owned by such organisations as the Hong Kong Rugby Union and Singapore Rugby Union."

    Force is in negotiations to have them broadcast free-to-air.

    Nick Taylor says it is C7 in today's West but can't see it online. Guess he should know. Aren't they all owned by Kerry Stokes?
    In the same story Nick Marvin talks about getting the games broadcast to other markets.
    Twiggy and Kerry would make a pretty formidable partnership when it comes to 2020 broadcasting talks.

    That's it, Jodi H laid a lot of the groundwork, but that line is the one that gets me over the line.

    We need to get a bigger crowd to Force v Rebels than Wallabies V Ireland, dead set!

    probably the key reason Baden Stephenson has been told to hose down the speculation, by that time, the Reds stink will have gotten so bad that Queenslanders would rather watch curling than rugby.

    Oh yeah baby. That's going to make for some difficult decisions, to go to the game, or to stay home and drive up ratings....is it possible to do both?

    Unless you have one of those magic boxes on your TV you won't affect the ratings by staying at home.

    Who do I have to kill for a magic box?

    and will it work if I leave the TV on to the Rugby and go to the game?

    Will it also count if I record the game and watch it multiple times?

    Once again, who do I kill?

    Most likely due to careful planning, I did notice that not a single one of the fixtures clash with either Eagles or Dockers home games. The amount of times I would look across to subi oval and see its lights on during a Force game always led me to believe that the AFL directly fixtured their games to clash against the Force, especially seeing as the Super Rugby fixtures would be released several months before the AFL.
