    Anyone ever heard of this f**ker?

    Naming your kid after Ice Cube and still misspelling it. Peak rugby league.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Adelaide oval is great, but it's a stretch calling that small grass section a "hill". Hopefully the new Penrith stadium is like the NQ Stadium, a U-Shape that looks fresh and modern.

    Also currently they're a Titans feeder club and it makes more sense to have both Titans feeders in the same competition in terms of monitoring progress, etc.

    18th club, whose next?

    On the subject of established division 2 teams, I'd love for the NRL to have the vision the NBL has had of late. Reorganising all State competitions under the NBL1 brand with direct pathways is doing great stuff for basketball talent development. Would love to see a nationalised division 2...

    18th club, whose next?

    No argument from me, I just think Perth needs to happen ASAP otherwise they'll face an even more uphill battle.

    18th club, whose next?

    I actually agree with that, I just think that Perth is vastly more important to get done as soon as possible. Twiggy Forrest just launched the Western Force Cup starting next year. 18 schools across the greater Perth metro, a healthy mix of public, catholic and private schools. That combined...

    Wow!! - Brett Finch incident

    Disgusting, if found guilty I hope it's a long sentence.

    18th club, whose next?

    Just to really drive home why I don't think NZ 2 should come in before Perth, the Crusaders just signed Pablo Matera on a 200,000 NZD contract. This is the captain of Argentina who turned down a 400,000 Euro contract in France to move to NZ for less money, because he feels it will make him a...

    18th club, whose next?

    Location and the financial crisis. When they played at Subiaco the big local rugby clubs participants live in that area. Nedlands, UWA, Associates, Wests, Cottesloe. Easily the 5 biggest clubs, probably about 10,000-15,000 people involved from players to family, volunteers, etc. They all...

    18th club, whose next?

    It's definitely a thing that separates Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne from other cities, people go insane for their teams. When I used to live in Perth any time the Eagles or Dockers made finals you'd see entire suburbs decked out in colours. I can remember when Fremantle made the GF and going to...

    18th club, whose next?

    I can tell you that one, international broadcasters. On the current set up they have; Supersport (Africa, not just SA, Supersport operates currently in 50 African countries) ESPN in South America and Canada Flosports in the USA Wowow Japan Canal+ France and other European countries SKY UK and...

    18th club, whose next?

    As of next year in New Zealand there will be 6 professional teams to play for, each fielding a 40 man squad. How is this weakened? There's never been more professional opportunities in New Zealand before, on top of the 14 semi-pro teams, how does a second NRL team do anything to lure the talent...

    18th club, whose next?

    Not sure why you think Super Rugby is on its knees? It's actually in a much better position post-pandemic than it was prior. 12 team competition, money coming in from World Rugby because of the inclusion of Fiji and the Pacific Islands. The Rugby Australia Stan/Channel 9 deal has seen an...

    18th club, whose next?

    South Africa hasn't left SANZAAR. Their 4 Super Rugby teams have moved to the URC. SA will never leave Sanzaar because that would require them moving the entire country to a different hemisphere. New Zealand Rugby sold 12% of their shares to a private equity group and walked away with $390...

    18th club, whose next?

    Rugby in New Zealand is more in line with Cricket in India. It's a borderline religion, to put it in perspective; New Zealand has 5 Super Rugby teams (Technically 6 now because Moana Pasifika are going to be based out of South Auckland). Feeding into those clubs are the most powerful 14...

    18th club, whose next?

    Lol'd hard at "A second NZ team to take on the All Blacks". Yes, a second team in a domestic club competition to take on one of the most famous international sporting brands in the world. Next up the NRL to put a team in Puerto Rico to take on the Dallas Cowboys.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    They brought in the Eagles to keep VFL teams afloat, not the WAFL. West Coast makes more money than any other sporting club in Australia, in any code.

    News Sydney to host 2022 NRL All Stars

    Maori are only one indigenous group, the Moriori exist too (admittedly 900 total). Indigenous All-Stars represents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Torres Strait Islanders have their own identity, they are Indigenous but not Aboriginal.
