Kurt, Dave and Chris: First let me apologize for taking a couple of days to put this outline together. When I spoke to Kurt I was in the middle of making a Fugazi album1, but I thought I would have a day or so between records to sort everything out. My schedule changed unexpectedly, and this is the...

Oh come on, what by 2000?

These days, probably double the Rebels’ crowds.

So, another 4,000?

Similar to the Tahs.
Probably...yeah...probably. You've got those numbers rite? Post them.

You want me to do… the math?

Slim 293

Will Harrison apparently off to Japan, and Jake Gordon to Perpignan.

Carter Gordon potentially to the Tahs if the Rebels fold…

Nah. It’s hard enough building momentum and a fan base with only half a dozen home games a year. 3 or so would be suicide. Call them the Melbourne Brumbies and be done with it.

Hamas probably want completely unreasonable things though, like an actual end to the war. And some guarantees that Israel won't just round up another 7 people for every Palestinian prisoner they release.

I agree. There are very few players from outside the Reds and Brumbies I'd pick in the 23. Kaliea , Tupou, Kellaway, maybe Rodda and BPA. I think too early for him.
