    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    I did read that about Anna Bligh. I also read something about the Sydney Showground. A grant that was made about the same time as the former NSW Government gave a heap of money to the NRL to keep playing the Grand Final at ANZ Stadium,

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    What's Andrew D Demetriou's views on migrants got to do with issues between the AFL and the government? Clutch a few more straws,

    But Tony won't push the interests of his local NRL club, eh El?

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    Go and read it yourself. I'm about to get in the car and head back to Sydney. Will be interested to find what you dig up on conflict between the AFL and the Government prior to 2007. The stupidest thing that the NRL did it 2007 was to let John Howard pork barrel on Grand Final day. Only a fool...

    Well prove me wrong and show me what conflict the Federal Government had with the AFL before 2007,

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    And I also showed plenty of handouts to Rugby League. I think they are. No one can despute the connect with the NRL's offical radio station to the support of the Liberal Party. Or the Daily Telegraph or the Australian's support of the Liberals. Phil Rothfield's column became like a campaign to...

    Only a fool would not know there was an election in 2007 and a change of government,

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    The Federal Labor Government has thrown heaps of money into Rugby League of late; Campbelltown Stadium, Newcastle, The new NRL HQ, the new ground at Mudgee which host the City V Country match, a new grandstand at Windsor. I thought Abbott would support his local football team. Pretty strange if...

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    I can't remember a major issue between the Federal Government and the AFL prior to 2007. If you can, please mention it. No need to get personal. Maybe you shouldn't use articles about the connection between a Victorian state Labor Government to the AFL in 2007. I don't try to fabricate...

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    I didn't drag it off topic. I never brought BS politics into it. I see it upset you the first time, that you had to delete it. I see that Julie Bishop is a board member of the West Coke Eagles. So much for the Liberals having no connection to the AFL. I would have thought the leader of the...

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    I don't think your Mt Pritchard Community Club was too happy with the agreement to build a casino between the Bulldogs and the Labor dominated Liverpool Council on council land. I suppose the whole thing was no chance once the Bulldogs scam was identified, with paying players though a council...

    What stadium did the AFL buy?

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    I think its more of a case that the NRL have hitched themselves to News Ltd and the Daily Telegraph. The NRL supports any group the Telegraph supports. The AFL changed their support to the ALP in 2007 because they knew would win government. The NRL is full of muppetts like David Gallop. The AFL...

    Titanic bid for PNG to coast in - Titans to be sold to PNG Consortium?

    I really don't see that as big issue with Victorian Labor getting behind the AFL in Victoria. It would be similar to state Labor is NSW funding Kogarah Oval, WIN Stadium in Wollongong, Campbelltown Stadium, Bluetongue Stadium, Parramatta Stadium and Penrith Stadium. Would do make of (so-called)...

    To Victorian State Labor Government? Interesting what Jeff Kennett said way back then in 2007:

    Daily Telegraph/Courier Mail bullsh*t

    The qualification for being Chief Rugby League writer is pretty low at the Tele. Even a Union fan like Andrew Webster could walk into the job,

    Which was the first season where every match was televised?

    I reckon the last time a full round wasn’t televise would have been 1999. There were 16 teams/8 games a round and Round 26 had 4 Sunday games scheduled. The 4 Sunday games were: Newcastle 16 V Sydney City 34 Date:Sun 29-Aug-1999 Venue:Newcastle ISC Crowd:25,315 Parramatta 34 V Souths 16...

    ARL make $3-4 Million Profit so what are they contributing to developing the game....

    I was around in 1995. I remember Ken Arthurson saying that the bids from the Cowboys and the Reds were too good to knock back. The bar for the NSWRL wasn’t real high in those days. Imagine trying to get a football ground like The Willows circa 1995 across the line for a bid today? Even...

    The $20m they had in the bank wouldn't have turned Group 3 Rugby League Ground into a Stadium, let alone build an 84,000 seat stadium,
