Since our last chat with George Stillianos, the President of the Greek Rugby League Federation, the Greek rugby league scene has undergone a remarkable transformation, with new developments and exciting prospects on the horizon. For starters, secret mid night matches in Athens are no more now that rugby league is officially recognized as an official sport by the Greek government. Having completed their debut Rugby League World Cup, the challenge now facing Greece is how to maintain the sport's newfound momentum.

They discuss the inaugural season for the club, the history of rugby league in Geelong, grass roots footy in VIC, the Melbourne Storm's role in junior development and so much more.  Follow the Geelong Sharks on twitter or join the facebook group. 

This episode was inspired by a question from Twitter. @jnidol  asked, "Is the game growing or declining in NZ? What needs to be done to compete with Union for player talent?" For a comprehensive pulse check on Rugby League in New Zealand, I needed a sports mad journalist on the ground. Enter Scott from The Niche Cache, a sports blog based out of South Auckland covering NZ sport outside of the mainstream.  Let me tell you, we go deep! We talked NZ pathways, popularity of the warriors, location for the NRL's next NZ club, a world cup in NZ, and so much more.  Hands down one of my favourite conversations in a while. I hope you enjoy it.  Check out The Niche Cache: theniche-cache.com and follow on Twitter @thenichecache
