    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    I like the idea of using an Origin game or two as an incentive to get a Canberra Stadium built.

    Totally Workwear Stadium is too small in my opinion. I like the ambition of playing Magic Round at a ground like Newcastle, Wollongong, or Townsville. The problem is scheduling the event so it has some free air from the NRL.

    100% agree with this. Either play it before the NRL season or after. Selfishly I would love the NRLW to be played during the spring/summer as I'm not a Cricket/Soccer fan and I want something to follow during this time.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I'll be disappointed if Accor gets a roof without fixing the actual problem with the venue.

    Can we get a roof for Newcastle please. This weather is horrible.

    I wouldn't be against the NRL signing a long term extension for the NRL GF with the NSW government if the government rebuilt Accor as a proper rectangular stadium. If its just a roof on the current stadium then no.

    Interesting chat about the Sydney stadium situation.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    As much as it will hurt Raiders fans, they need to start taking games away from Canberra. Why should the ACT economy get the benefits of having a NRL team there if they aren't willing to invest in it. There are numerous options. Play a couple in Brisbane, Christchurch, Adelaide, Darwin, Perth...

    We really get screwed by the weather when it comes to the NRLW.

    He's definitely waiting for the AFL to make a call for the 20th team and will try and make the stadium multipurpose.

    Eddie McGuire mentioned it on his podcast today. Very interesting if true.

    Canberra's issue is their stadium and nothing will improve until that does.

    The Game 2025 Membership

    What I take from this graph is that membership culture is still very much an AFL/Melbourne thing, but we are slowly starting to adopt it which is positive for the future of the sport. It's more income for the clubs at the end of the day. In saying all that the Broncos numbers are impressive.

    2025 Crowd Watch

    We don't have the same expectations that we did 5-10 years ago. This is a good thing and means crowds are heading in the right direction (for the most part).
