    The Game 2023 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos etc

    Well said. I was at Peter Wynn`s on the weekend and had a look at the heritage jersey`s. The first one I looked at was a Bulldog`s jumper and the design was fine but it had this horrible el-cheapo Bulldog`s emblem on the chest, ruined the whole thing for me, not that I was looking to buy a...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    You three aren`t doing yourself any favours with this nonsense. Grow up and give it a rest.

    Why is the NRL currently booming?

    Last week we saw Arnott`s Shapes become the official Snack partner of the NRL and the official presenting partner of the 2023 Magic Round; https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/05/04/magic-round-set-to-be-full-of-flavour-thanks-to-arnotts-shapes/ Any ideas on how much a sponsorship like this is worth...

    2023 TV/Fox/Streaming Ratings

    I agree, similar to all the anachronistic palaver the Churches, in particular the Catholic Church, go on with. The interesting aspect for me is that they are rare glimpses into medieval rituals that probably have passed their used by date but reveal something about ourselves by providing a...

    Publicly funded Kardashians I heard one wag describe them as.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    I can tell you one thing for sure mate when the super tournament was cancelled due to covid I remember very clearly alarm bells going off in N.Z. because people were getting sick of the sight of the same teams playing each other over and over, and in all fairness that would be understandable...

    Why is the NRL currently booming?

    I don`t know what planet you`re on, it`s been amazing. Listening to the commentators on the radio yesterday say what an amazing convivial atmosphere there has been inside and outside of the stadium with the seas of different jerseys.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    It`s definitely odd though, especially when you compare it to the other struggling code in this country, namely the A-League. The only two sports that haven`t received a post-covid bump in their crowds have been the A-League and super (lol) rugby. Even the Aussie basketball competition has been...

    18th club, whose next?

    Pretty funny really, as far away from the Dolphins as possible. No self-interest there.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    You do know the meaning of poignant ? For me there`s nothing poignant about it, in fact I would liken my reaction on reading that to be more like euphoric. As I`ve always said about Oz rugby, to quote Macbeth: " we`ve scotched the snake not killed it". I won`t be happy until Oz rugby is dead and...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Who needs friends when you`ve got enemies like these. "The NRL, on the other hand, is captivating, entertaining and competitive almost entirely across the 17-team league. There’s a refreshing unpredictability about the vast majority of the contests, the quality is high with few exceptions and...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    More good news coming out of super (lol) rugby: Warriors home crowds this year: 18595, 23695 & 20395. At the same time in last weekend`s super rugby match between the second and third placed Hurricanes and Brumbies drew 8700 spectators. Can you imagine the crowd the Warriors` would draw at Mt...

    I wouldn`t underestimate Billy Slater.

    18th club, whose next?

    They`re a club that is run really, really well and it`s hard to see them ever not being a top 8 side for more than a couple of years at any one time. That strength should be enough to see them through a couple of lean years if that occurs. Also their strength in the board room is only going to...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Webster hates League in general and he never fails to take a swipe at League in the Herald much like his wanker pretentious mate ftzsmmns. Even when he says something nice there`s always a big but, he`s such a whining dope. I suspect that with League being such a macho game, and there`s no...

    18th club, whose next?

    If the Bears had two braincells to rub together they`d realise this and start planning that now instead of carrying on in the embarrassing way they are presently.

    Which jumps back to about 44 million once we include our little mate N.Z. (and other first world economy) in the figures.

    NRLW TV ratings killing AFLW

    I sincerely hope that you are right but the initial announcement by Nine and the NRL is extremely vague around the definition of `live and free` with the `free` aspect only meaning you can stream it for free on 9 Now. But as I said, there will be three definitely on their linear option: one...
