    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Some interesting imagery in this proposal being pushed. Doesn't look a cheap option and seems a fair ways out of the city? https://brisbanedevelopment.com/why-a-northshore-olympic-stadium-trumps-victoria-park-gabba-rebuild/

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Earlier this week, the Crisafulli government revealed there had been a cost blow out for three smaller Olympic venues. The bill for the new Chandler Indoor Sports Centre, the Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre and to upgrade the Sunshine Coast outdoor stadium is more than $180 million above...

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    This is interesting part of the French RU deal, if only French RL comp could get a deal like this! The Pro D2 – France’s second-tier rugby league – will also see a substantial increase in its broadcast revenue, with Canal+ committing €10.7 million annually, up 36 per cent from the previous...

    John Grant urges NRL to add a team in Ipswich/Logan

    Agreed, Ideally we'd see 5th Qlnd team and Adelaide in teams 21 & 22 slots by 2040. That pretty much sets up the NRL for a few decades to come.

    Pacific Championships 2024

    thrashing France in one off mid season games does nothing for either nation or Int RL. Be like saying why dont Australia play cook islands mid season every year to help the game over there. Theyve been paying for a French club in Sl for over 20 years, its not made much difference to the...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    If NRl had any sense they'd move to rep weekends and have state of origin and Island of Origin series. 3 matches in NZ mid season between Samoa and Tonga would be awesome and build a massive rivalry that would sell out stadiums over there. Tell the Feds it will keep china out and they will...

    John Grant urges NRL to add a team in Ipswich/Logan

    Geez AFL must be doing something right if they can take over with just one club (which everyone on here says isnt that big) whilst some feel it needs 3 NRL clubs to 'stave them off'! Maybe NRL should be doing whatever AFL is doing in Brisbane if its working with just one club?

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    The original team bidding for a NRL licence in Christchurch insist they are still in the three-bid race despite a prospective personnel change. Rumours swirled on Tuesday that the South Island NRL Bid (SINRLB) was no longer in the hunt after it had shut down its website. But chief executive Tony...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Thats one of the Original bid gone, grassroots owners replaced by the others. From the SI bid Facebook page: Following the National Rugby Leagues RFP process, and a lot of soul searching the founding members Bid Kieran Bligh, Duane Fyfe and Tony Kidd have decided to close down their bid. Frank...

    WA BEARS

    It'd be interesting to see a WA rep side with the best WA players from any comp against a Vic side similar. Smattering of NRl/SL players plus the nsw and qlnd cup players and the best of the local comps. That'd make for an interesting state of origin.

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    TBF it is only one lower division club that is raising it, and they were never happy with the grading system and voted against it. Though there is strong sentiment amongst many English fans that clubs should be measured on what happens on the field, not on the size of their gantry lol...

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    Only way it could work is if the winner of the championship had a higher score in the gradings than the bottom club in SL. That would be a good motivator for everyone to keep working on their scores. Gives opportunity without weakening the whole point grading was brought in. But it'd be a weird...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Bit narrow view. Many people, especially in Australia, feel dual or even multi national agency. Nothing wrong with them wanting to represent for each of them. I could play for England or Australia and would be proud to represent either having lived in both countries for an equal amount of time...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    As usual a lot will come down to how rich the Orcas are really. If they have the resources to set up the elite programs properly as well as support the local Jnr pathways no reason they cant be turning the SI kids into first graders eventually. But like any of the new clubs it will take years...

    WA BEARS

    At one time I think we had around 30 from WA playing in NSW and Qlnd comps. Not sure what the number would be now, probably less since the loss of the SG ball program.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Club and player distributions as a % of total revenue 2021 49% 2022 50% 2023 52% So basically around half the games revenue goes to clubs and players. If we get an extra $100mill cash a year on TV deal then we can expect around $50mill of it to go to clubs ($2.6mill a club based on 19 clubs)...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    I think at that 18 to first grade is where the real difference is in elite pathway development for players in Oz (and now hopefully at warriors). Usually at U18 level internationl teams are pretty even. All comes down to money. If youve got $3-4mill a year to spend on those elite programs with...

    WA BEARS

    4,400 at all ages and genders. Yep without elite systems the good 'uns will head East, to Union or never develop further.

    SL Stadium developments

    Super League Grand Finalists Hull KR have revealed plans for new community facilities and amenities as part of the regeneration of land around the Sewell Group Craven Park. The club, which is committed to including communities, both on and off the field, secured the option to purchase the...
