    Channel 9 in Melbourne

    That's terrible. TV stations are run by geniuss. Last night at 10:30 (half time of the Dragons and Broncos) a WIN News update comes on and the stupid tart announces that the Dragons have beaten the broncos "full details at midnight"! F***!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Future of St.George

    The Hawks are still going strong. Foundation NBL club. Saved by community support. Same can't be said for any Sydney Club. Wolves were just typical of the NSL. I really think the Dragons would be mad to cut off current and potential Red V members, juniors and current and potential...

    Future of St.George

    Sydney to me = CBD. Not often a fan from the Saints side of the merger openly groups the metro area as "Sydney". Good to see - remember that when trying to argue that Kogarah shouldn't always lose a match when we host Anzac Day. Sadly I know our uni is fouled by scummers, though when I went...

    Future of St.George

    I'm not making out they don't go at all, I'm highlighting the reduction in "local team" status which drives the interest of kids. The Dragons do a good job in the Illawarra under their current set up, but it's a 50-50 each way bet, rather than a full on commitment to one region. Both...

    Future of St.George

    That's been a huge step backwards since the merger. When I was a school kid, we'd get plenty of visits from the likes of Brett Rodwell, Paul McGregor and Rod Wishart. They'd sign autographs for every kid. The best one of Wishy's visits he gave us a coaching session before we played in a...

    Future of St.George

    You're kidding aren't ya? Point one: anyone who's been to a game in Wollongong has almost certainly heard that. Two: The Steelers averaged as good as the Dragons do now (with all of the Sydney fans coming down). Maybe I'm biased, but I know not as many people talk about the Dragons as much...

    Bulldogs consider Central Coast move

    It wasn't that they wanted the Bears, it was more that they liked the "Central Coast" Bears concept. Surely they'd embrace any team provided they renamed themselves Central Coast and played every home game there. None of this split home grounds crap. Any Central Coast posters, agree / disagree?

    Storm fury at Nine

    I think the opening ceremony starts at 10pm, so it'd be perfect to have the Melbourne game on live before this. Some vics might watch their NRL team on nine before settling in for the Olympic coverage.

    Newcastle pitch invader..

    The man has a lead deficiency. Needs a bit inserted right between the eyes.

    2008 Footy Show Chat Thread

    Here's what I liked from the forum... 1. Sterling: was bang on the mark with making the game more entertaining = 6m rule to promote ball movement. 2. Bevis: Beyond the stupid 100 min idea, the concept of breaking the game into quarters to lengthen and provide more opportunities for revenue is...

    Sydney: 4 contrived teams or 1 or 2 "super" clubs?

    But the key is ensuring that we wouldn't end up with something as uninteresting as club rugby... and I don't think it's fair to compare our great game with union. Also, our clubs are (still) richer. I really believe we could see crowds average 10,000 across the Sydney comp with the two...

    Sydney: 4 contrived teams or 1 or 2 "super" clubs?

    "The Big Two" option would have to see the creation of a new Sydney Comp, with all of the top traditional Sydney clubs. THough again, there's no current setup, or level in any sport in Aus to compare this concept to. Both the Sydney Comp and the two National Sydney Teams would be reliant on each...

    Sydney: 4 contrived teams or 1 or 2 "super" clubs?

    As I say, I think mass mergers would fail. Starting fresh could work if the Sydney tier comp took on a strong historical significance, with plenty of local media interest. There's nothing to compare it to at the moment, it would be very different but I think it would be the best way to have i)...

    Please come back John Quayle

    Sounds good.

    A solution to the NRL problems maybe ?

    I agree. On top of that, play more tests and promote the Kangaroos as a "brand". National players would receive more attention irrespective of which club they played for.

    Sydney: 4 contrived teams or 1 or 2 "super" clubs?

    Re: S14, I think people just aren't interested in Rugby Union.

    Sydney: 4 contrived teams or 1 or 2 "super" clubs?

    With all the talk about Sydney clubs etc... If Sydney clubs had to go what would you prefer? - 4 new teams (the often talked about option of mass-mergers) - 2 new teams (Sydney & West Sydney - no ties to old clubs, sort of two Broncos-ish clubs) -- I ask mainly because I think...

    RL promotion in Sydney

    Pretty poor promotion for the Dragons in the Gong too. Amazing when you consider the local TV viewing area goes right down the coast and all over the highlands. They advertised for a while in the early days, just as the Steelers did, then it sort of whittled away. Recently it was just "XYZ...
