Aussie Sports Thread - NRL, AFL or A League

[SB]

I like the idea of the Vegas round - I'd be up for it if the Tigers ever got in - I know - I'm dreaming

Really but yeah you are dreaming My nephew has been a corporate box owner at the Sharks for years & he’s heading over for their match next year.

There seems to be enough of us Aussies to have a thread specifically for NRL, the AFL or even the A Leagues & any other aussie codes you want to discuss.

So first question I’ve got is should the NRL be playing competition matches in the US each year? Personally I think not as I don’t see it competing with the NFL & the extra traveling is a drain on players.

2nd question is the rumour that Dusty Martin is coming out of retirement to play for the Suns true?

Don't think he can now that the drafts have been done. Would set a precedent of a player "retiring" to then get to the club that they want to play for.

There was a bit of talk going on up here on the GC before I went on holidays so wasn’t sure if there was any substance to it
