i've been to australia, if this is pulled off kudos for the intl development but what it does for the nll winter season is questionable.

If some of the Knighthawks agree to play, will Mr Styres offer charter flights from Rochester to Melbourne, for only $10 bucks?

I'm sure the Australian fans are looking forward to seeing Rodie Merrill, who plays for the "Toronto nationals Baltimore Bayhawks" in the MLL.

Joking aside, that's a pretty impressive crop of NLL players.

I wonder how well Mogulus will work in Australia. Will the action go counter clockwise like the flushing of the toilets.

Can't wait to find out who else is playing as they only have twelve players listed. I am sure the players will love the experience and are jumping at the chance to go.

It's 6 on 6 for the full 60 minutes. Fortunately for them, Australia is at the bottom, so there is more oxygen down there than there is it the northern hemisphere.

A few box teams from Canada have toured to Australia before back in the 80's. I know the Ozzies have been playing box since the Commonwealth Games in '78 and have sent teams to the World box championship in '80 and the past two WILC.

At least they didn't schedule the game until after the Grand Final. Trust me, (and I never thought I'd say this) Aussie Rules Football makes lacrosse (both indoor and outdoor) look pretty tame.

The site is owned by Richard Benedierks who lives in Point Cook Australia

It looks like the domain has been frozen by registrar which means the NLL likely put in a copywrite violation claim against the site.
