An RLIF objective already employed by the AFL

[The Partisan]

Got a feeling I'll be kicking off a contentious issue here - but would something like this not be good for our game ?

The eligibility requirements are interesting - and hopefully enforced.

Like the idea of the players being able to play on the big stage at a big game ( albeit in a 9's format).

I should qualify this by saying I wouldn't want is as a replacement to the World Cup....more like a stepping stone / development tournament.

Are you serious?

Another great insight into the calibre of athlete that is competing at the Intergalactic Cattle Prod Cup this week... ALSO, how do you recruit Indonesian AFL players in Melbourne if they're meant to be so busy playing it in Indonesia? :?

scrapping the barrel there are'nt they

I assume you mean a developing nations world cup, be it 9s or 13s. A lot of cost for very, very little gain if you ask me.

I suggest you take a look at the fight club IC14 thread to see why this would be a bad idea.

Mmmmmmmm...............maybe I shouldn't use this website straight after a long day :crazy:

Can now. see the valid arguments against such a tournament.

I just checked their Facebook page. Some good stuff being done. Seems like they are running a women's company at the same time. I like that idea.

Today ABC News did a story in their sports segment for the USA team and a player from the US who's signed with North Melbourne and is playing with their feeder team. Good exposure. Couldn't see that getting a run for League.
