2016/17 A League

I'm not even sure clubs need a sponsor, what's the price of a decent Canon EOS camera, a video lens, a PC, a decent interwebs connection and a twitch streaming account to these people?

I mean I almost own all that myself!
 
Wished Tigers would do this surely they could find a sponsor or something to help cover any costs, with the things like YouTube it should be a lot easier to look at doing.

Similarly to the Ulster stream would be a nice touch to maybe have former players commentating be a good experiance for them.

Current players actually, just injured. You'd think most clubs have a couple of guys who were thinking about moving into the media side of things and wanted to pick up some experience.
 
One thing that could be an issue is that A league games are usually at different grounds from the clubs.
Heywood Rd barely has running water let alone broadband with high enough up to stream
 
Mobile data should be able to send it up fairly well, no need for it to be brilliant quality, people would watch anyway I reckon.

It's going to be tricky fitting Tapuai, Joseph and Fruean all into the squad if/when all are fit and available; would have to be straight rotation (never a bad thing, except for Max Clark). I don't think we'll be pushing RF out to wing as some think, as he'd have Rocco and Banahan ahead of him - though the latter looks to be out for quite a while now. Freuan is a better rugby player than Banas, but possbily not a better wing, and probably not a better leader. Then you've got Watson also returning any day now, whilst Homer is deserving retention of his shirt... 5 of those 7 to start, but only room for one of them on the bench...
It'll be a good headache to have... some day.
 
Watson should cruise into the 15 shirt, he's so much better than Homer it's not even funny.
Homer is like a poundland version of Halfpenny.
 
Boo frickin hoo
I knew we'd have your sympathy. :)

Yes, but with Banahan out, you'd probably go with Watson on the wing and Homer at FB.
Either way, Homer's been playing a lot better than "a poundland version of halfpenny" so far this season; he's looked a real revelation - even at his best at LI, I never thought he had his level of performance in him. You'd certainly want Watson to prove form and fitness rather than just ousting Homer - besides, it's good all-round to encourage a feeling of competition for places; and to reward good form by the under-study
