    Here's another prediction for you.

    GRR like a lot of other "international" sports will be picked up by a "new player" in the TV sports streaming market once they "go live". It will be a "game changer" for you the consumer and the sports themselves.

    I've just looked at the schedule. All teams have a bye for the weekend of the 4th/5th April. But Easter is the following weekend (and the Force have a Good Friday game, again!)

    Why not schedule the bye weekend for Easter weekend? A number of the teams are going to be predominantly Christian, so I'm not sure why the two don't line up.

    My guess is because the weekend of the 4/5 April is the HK sevens

    Foxtel wouldn't fit with Innforcer's post. Bring a new player, going live. As for the Shute Shield. Only a fool would believe Foxtel are serious about that. Which likely means most if not all of the Club Presidents of those teams likely do.
