    You may need to double check that. It does take a day or two.

    THE RED V NOSTALGIA THREAD

    The now defunct residential rule had plenty of flaws and loopholes, it didn’t need a Club Secretary to fiddle with it. Money was ONE lure and St George were posting 400% profit figures in the 1960s. This enabled them to get Johnny Raper away from Newtown and pay him to sit out a year. This is...

    THE RED V NOSTALGIA THREAD

    G'day Trifili. I'm reading stuff here every other day. Mostly just for the laughs nowadays. Here's something that’s not backed by evidence... flimsy at best... Some years ago, we had a couple of players from the 1977 grand finals that posted in the forums. They didn’t advertise this fact but a...

    THE RED V NOSTALGIA THREAD

    The evidence doesn’t support the assumption. Rugby League already had a history of not being afraid to change rules to make the game more competitive. Historically, the administrators want the game to be more entertaining to attract more crowds, make more money and to attract more players...

    For a more detailed source: https://jubileeavenue.com/history/1921-1925.php Larger pic with player names: https://jubileeavenue.com/history/history_team1921.php That'd be the Royal Hotel in Carlton. We were never called the Illawarra club. However, there were two publications that briefly...

    - Moved here because it was posted in a random thread and entirely in the wrong place - luckily it was noticed in passing. Extra work for all concerned, but here we are. - Possibly a joke because I can't imagine how a seasoned poster such as yourself would get that wrong. - No one else is...

    You've gone to some effort and that's commendable. But there's a fair bit of stuff that doesn’t stand up. A few urban myths have crept in. Not sure where you're sourcing it from, it seems to have been lifted and edited to suit. If you wish, I can correct some of it, and help with some sources.

    Mr. Angry. R.I.P some sad news

    So sorry to hear this. A good mate on the forums for over 20 years. All the best to family and his many friends.

    Don't know what you mean by "loads of ads". Ad campaigns have ended or have been paused, so there's less than usual.

    I suspect the insane part predates this.

    For better or worse, there's syncing. Check your other devices.

    You have an ad blocker in place. Most of the issues will go away if you remove this. Be sure to remove the ad blocker on all your devices. It may take a day or two to reset.

    Not a sponsor in the sense you're referring to. That's not how ad content works. With respect, getting annoyed/frustrated is a choice. But of course, based on constructive feedback, the display has been adjusted. I find most people are ok with it. And we've had similar ad content in the past...

    Thank you to the posters that have been providing details (eg your phone/computer, browser, operating system etc). We are looking into it on behalf of those posters. All posts that are in any way aggro or unhelpful have no place here. Fair warning.

    Thanks, that's the type of relevant info we need. But are you sure the X isn't hiding behind the graphic? Should be in the top right corner

    That's kind of over thinking it. Just hit the x in the corner of the ad. I'll also check regarding the ad placement.

    You should see an 'X' in the corner of the ad. Click on that.
