I'd like to see more of this. We need to develop a good domestic pool of coaches, Great to see retired Eagles taking this route too.

Anyone else watch the new MLR Weekly? Steve Johnson talks with Steve Johnson about his work in Tampa Bay. Interesting because this sub usually talks about bigger potential markets ex. Vancouver, NYx2, etc.

Any thoughts on Tampa? Interesting take for sure but I have no information about the rugy culture down there.

Video link here, and Tampa discussion starts at 22 min.

As per above, Glendale says they aren't playing professionally this year and will instead focus on youth rugby. At the end of the article they said they said they are hopeful they can return to professional rugby in 2026 in SRA, with several other teams.

What do you think several other teams means? Will Anthem go to SRA? Others? Once again it seems like another attack on MLR.

There's been a number of player announcements today, so I'm going to consolidate the ones I've seen into one post.

If so that was quick!

Per official instagram

Saw it on Instagram but since I don't have it linked to my phone couldn't get it posted here. Maybe someone with instagram access can post the link?

I'm sad I thought he was a solid player.
