This week Sean speaks to three people about the way the season worked, what worked and what didn’t and what we might be able to learn from it. First up is Conor ‘Hogi’ Hogan about the system as a whole, as well as two ideas on how things might work in future. Next is Hannah Pendlebury with her thoughts on the system and also on including teams like SMOG women and Might Hucks, and finally Ben Bruin from Mighty Hucks on their season.
