  1. The Penguin #6.

    18th club, whose next?

    I look at the ratings and why is it the fumbleball loins consistently outrate and sometimes get some quite decent numbers compared to the swans. Is that because Sydney has enough teams to satisfy its` sport watching public whereas for too long Brisbane has only had one. Either way there has to...

    18th club, whose next?

    In economics it`s called the `multiplier effect`, you`re probably familiar with it. What with setting up an NRL club and all the extra employment (i.e wages) and NRL investment that will be generated and injected into that state by the time it works its` way through the economy it will be of...

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    Does anybody know how many tickets have been sold to the Women`s SOO on Thursday. I`m taking my daughter and I was hoping there`d be a good crowd.

    IIRC when the fumbleball got 4.4m recently that was one of the lowest aggregates for a long time. Looks like they outdid themselves with a new low on the weekend 4.295m. Just shows with that "sport" the fanatics will go to games because everyone else is or for whatever reason, but that same...

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    I caught a bit of the Cheifs v. Brumbies on 9 Saturday night. Probably about 6000 there I reckon. That`s 1 v 3 on the table playing off for top four spots. That`s woeful. Fumbleball`s got good crowds and average ratings, we`ve got great crowds and great ratings. Poor old super rugby, woeful...

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    I specifically watched a replay of the Parra/Cowboys match today just to see how those two young P.N.G. players went.

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    I was reading somewhere recently that it was the NRL`s intransigence on that game that led to a big airline sponsorship falling through which would have made a massive difference to the bottom line of that venture. This is one of the biggest hurdles for me, no one is interested in replays.

    How much does a Super Bowl ad cost. Tina Turner remastered `Simply the Best` on at half -time at the Super Bowl. That`d be interesting. I think they had 115m viewers this year.

    Yeah I`ve got a soft spot for the Warriors because I know if they did well they`d bring the whare down over there and two teams would be a shoe in. They should have been as successful as the Broncos by now, 4 premierships and 6 GF`s. Sometimes I can`t even watch their games it`s just too...

    But who`d be a Warriors fan, the most frustrating team in the comp. Twice last night missed winnable Captain`s Challenges because they left it too late and ref said "sorry times up". I loved the description on League Unlimited though " An unhinged Mclean Park Napier", and whenever the cameras...

    Some of those fumbleball figures are woeful. But the League...madness. BTW I watched the Thursday night game on Nine, the Queensland crew guffawing at everything the bone-headed oaf Vautin says. Not much short of depressing it was so god-awful. Friday night Gould and Johns, what a pair. The...

    I can imagine that. Positively Crispian. I think I remember you saying once about your aversion to housework, but as Crisp said: " it (the dust) doesn`t get any worse after four years". .

    And exactly why V`landy`s and co. are so annoyed by Nine`s lack of promotion of the game presently. The game is in a sweet spot and a bit of positive on-going promotion by Nine could really drive that advantage home, and V`landy`s knows that. What we`d give for the cut-through another Tina...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    I think one of the things we have going for us in this venture is that it pretty neatly dovetails in with the end of the NFL season. We all know, or certainly I do, what a hole in my life the end of the NRL season leaves, I`ve no doubt there is a lot of NFL supporters who have the same feeling...

    It`s just the League way, understated as usual. Hard to know how to feel about that, if we were pumped up prats that might be worse. But for better or worse it just doesn`t seem to be the League way.

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    Get a grip mate, there`s one defence that blows all other defences out of the water. About 200 000 more viewers every match, every week, the whole bloody year. There is no comeback for that even if they do get a few extra crazies at the ground.
