New Super 15 franchise

[Remi Moses]

Just wondering if anyone is going to get interested in melbourne's new Super 15 team?
I actuall didn't mind Union at one stage but unfortunately it's become full of penalties and stop start sort of sport

[AndrewP6]

No, not for me.

[Chops]

I'll take an interest maybe slightly more than I do for Storm. Union is a better game.

This decision is 5 years too late. Fancy going to Perth before Melbourne.

[Sockeye Salmon]

I'm married to a Kiwi so I can see us getting some visitors every two years when the Highlanders visit.

Correct. Crazy original decision, and nearly messed it up again.

We'll be successful before too long -- we love sport too much to have a crappy team here.

Or an excuse to get away for a long weekend to NZ. (forever young..)

Agree on both counts ES ... I love watching Union, and am very glad I now have a team to support in the Melbourne Rebels

I am still bemused by the Perth decision :confused:

[Suz 32]

I'm not into Union, much prefer League. But I'll see what happens..... I could have a 3rd team to support in Melbourne!! :)

I'm rapt. Over the moon!

As am I. Will go to as many games as I can.

The Perth decision was a stinker. Part of the Rationale was its closer proximity to SA. There is supposed to be a bigger rugby base over there also. Not sure where they all ended up...

Per capita maybe ... overall, I'm not so sure

It's a bit like the controversity over whether C9 should have transmitted Tiger's first round on thursday instead of Kerryanne. Of course they should have-no one's ever gone broke overestimating Melbourne's love of sport.


That franchise should have gone to Melbourne.

Triangle? Is there going to a be Baseball stadium built?

Easy to see how you could mix them up! :confused:

I always thought baseball was played on a diamond...

There's a thought, is there any sport that is played on a triangular field?

[GVGjr]

This new stadium is going to get a lot of work. 2 rugby teams and 2 soccer teams will keep it in good use. Hopefully the new sides can package up some of the memberships.

[shifty]

Their thinking big.
Targets are Berrick Barnes, Rocky Elsom and Digby Ioane (both Melbourne boys)
Digby said previously, that if we get a team, we wants to come, and hopefully they can get 1 of the other 2

[FrediKanoute]

The rumour mil in Europe is that they are targeting the Leinster Coach to be the first manager in 2011.
