Coach John Aloisi reckons Brisbanes comfort in the heat could be Newcastles undoing as the Roar attempt to turn around their poor A-League record on the road.The mercury is expected to climb to 28 degrees at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Sunday, a spring temperature the Jets will not have acclimatised to quite as well as their interstate opponents.Were happy about that, Aloisi said.It hasnt been that hot there but its been warm here so were prepared for that weather.Its an advantage for us, because were a fit team.You saw last week, even with 10 men, how we ran out that game and scored in virtually the last kick.A 10-man Roar pulled off an at-the-death 1-1 opening-round draw with Melbourne Victory thanks to defender Luke DeVeres equaliser.They did so at their Suncorp Stadium fortress, where they achieved a league-best home record of 35 points from 14 matches last season.The challenge now is emulating that on the road, after a poor 13 points from as many away games that may have cost them the 2015-16 Premiers Plate.We analysed all of last season and we know we have to pick up more points away from home, Aloisi said.Aloisi knows Mark Jones unfancied Jets will be no pushovers after their own plucky 1-1 stalemate with defending champions Adelaide last weekend.However their chances of backing up have not been helped by long-term injuries to key defender Daniel Mullen (knee) and first-choice goalkeeper Ben Kennedy (Achilles).Jason Hoffman (calf) and Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko (Achilles) are also sidelined.At the very least, Danish star Morten Nordstrand returns to bolster Newcastles already-revived attack featuring Andrew Hoole, Andrew Nabbout and English playmaker Wayne Brown.Roars attacking prowess continues to flourish via Jamie Maclarens combination with marquee man Brett Holman.But Aloisi declined to say whether Tommy Oar would start on the wing following his sharp display off the bench against Victory.He has confirmed Jacob Pepper will fill the midfield shoes of suspended captain Matt McKay.STATS THAT MATTER:* Newcastle are winless in six attempts against Brisbane* The Jets have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 17 games* Jamie Maclaren scored in two of his three appearances against Newcastle last season Custom Jeffery Simmons Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night.

The Guinness PRO12 are considering adding a new United States-based franchise to the league.The PRO12 -- which currently features sides from Italy, Ireland, Wales and Scotland -- is looking to increase its revenue to keep up with their Aviva Premiership and Top 14 counterparts.According to Philip Browne, the Irish Rugby Football Union CEO, one potential option would be to look to include a franchise based on the east coast of the USA.The transatlantic rugby pathway is one already being explored by the Premiership who staged a match in New York last March while Ireland will play New Zealand in Chicago in November. With rugby the fastest-growing team sport in America, Browne sees a potential opportunity for the PRO12 to expand into a new market.The one thing we can bring to bear, as four unions, is if you operate a franchise modell we can provide the coaches, we can provide the administrative expertise, Browne said in the Irish Times.dddddddddddd We can do what is needed to get a franchise up and running pretty quickly.So, thats what we are looking at. If we are going to do this we are not going to do it on the basis of putting together a half-baked team. What we need is a good team working in a market that has commercial opportunities for us.He added: Such an increase in values will require some radical change to the tournament and how it is structured. The expansion of the tournament into new territories is probably a prerequisite and the first steps are being taken now in relation to a new strategic plan for the tournament. ' ' '
