    State of origin series

    Queensland didn't give a fig about the game. That's why Codie had room to do things. He still through balls over the sideline, intercepts etc. If Qld had niggled him he would have lost it like normal.

    New stadium - 2025

    But just doing the minimal means under budget, early delivery, and they can spend the surplus elsewhere. Win win for the Govt, big loss for Penrith again.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    $309m promised in 2021 is now $342m with inflation. When it is constructed in 2025 it would be over $375m. The inflation figures come from the Gov. It seems it will be upgraded and extra corporate areas and dressing rooms, extended roofs over the existing stands, less seating for the general...

    New stadium - 2025

    $309m in 2021 with inflation is now $347m and with the forecasts it will be $372m. So spending only $309m doesn't meet the commitment that is supposedly being met! It seems they will extend the roofs over the existing stands, increase corporate areas, and fix up the dressing rooms. This won't...

    2023 Blowouts

    There are enough players for 18 teams, but not coaches. There are also not enough competent club adminstrators for 12 clubs let alone 18!

    The Game 2023 NRL Match Review Charges & Judiciary

    Walsh abused the referee using foul and offensive language. He only apologised after the game when he knew he was in trouble. Luai touched the touch judge by mistake and immediately apologised when he realised what he had done. Big difference.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Penrith Stadium gets used by the NSWRL (NSW Cup, Jersey Flegg and junior rep teams) as well as NRL. It also hosts the junior league finals.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    What sort of business case could LO put up when there are only 6 games that could charge entrance fees? And what is this constant use that it supposedly gets? It would a big drain on ratepayers for the upkeep.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    It was not built in the 80's. It has had various upgrades over the years. The original oval and the uncovered western stand were built in the middle 60s and the original stand from 1966 forms part of the Western Stand. The Eastern stand was built in the early 80s and has not had an upgrade...

    State of origin series

    Cronk said they need to look at temperament and control for the next SOO, and then didn't mention Cody Walker as a selection option. Walker would be baited and lose it big time.

    Does it really matter. It seems to be working ok!

    Yay!!! Another 11000 sell out! Probably wouldn't get many more if the capacity was larger though.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Has everyone forgotten Penrith? It seems the 'promised' has been forgotten as well. If the Feds put the same $240m forward for Penrith , along with the $300m from the State government they could build a new 25k stadium on the paceway site!

    Nobody said they didn't, but there were plenty of incidents both ways. Walkers was just very blatant!
