    Bid names

    An animal will always be a good choice (it has personality while being a blank canvas) humanoids are trickier. They can be spot on (Knights and Steelers in working-class cities, Raiders as the outsiders to Sydney, Cowboys for the rural culture) or they can be unrelated gimmicks (f*ck the...

    This statement makes the existence of this whole thread very ironic

    I would challenge you to find a single country that doesnt have some great war at the centre of their national story. War is the core reason for the state/government; everything else is an extra. PNG is still in the process of nation-building so their story is still being cemented. Picking that...

    no, but: a) every nation frames itself through a major war/conflict and PNG only really has one. B) when you pay $600mil, i imagine you would get a bit of a say in branding. This would be to the benefit of the aus-png aliance to create a new self-image as guardians of Australian. it is hardly...

    PNG Defenders Triple meaning - RL defense line - WW2 line against the Japanese - current line against an unnamed rival to the north. then take this image and give it a bit of a Proven-Summons vibe as the centre of the bradge If the point of this exercise is to inspire a familial alliance...

    2025 NRL Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos

    I don’t understand why people are against matching the shorts the the jumper. I think it can be a good look

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    i wonder what the cost would be. tear out the whole lower bowl, and build in 2 tiers (new corpoate boxes would be around current ground level). chuck curtains across the upper decks and just reopen for the major events. Probably a capacity of 100k for big events

    Nrl plans for a 20 team comp

    pfft, headline bullshit. Hawaii might make sense but throwing Caribbean in there as well just shows it is a brainfart joke

    Nrl plans for a 20 team comp

    We HAVE to look at Hawaii for the 20th! Island of +1mil, very high average income, establish Gridiron culture so RL is not a huge jump. This would be a genuinely new market and a potential foothold in the US to develop a decent USA national team for rep games. More potential here than...

    Hmmm, it is almost like the Toronto Wolfpack might have been a good idea worth supporting for more than 2 minutes…

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Wooh! Thanks for the history lesson. It is a shame a similar plan wasnt put in place for Accor (i wonder if it could be done now…)

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    One thing that has been missed from this conversation is that rectangular stadiums apparently can host olypmic athletics… 2028 olympics in LA will be hosted here: im not going to pretend to know more details than this, but is suncorp smaller?

    Entire Wests Tigers Board Sacked

    Parra would be the best of the current lot except that it does nothing for Ashfield LC. outside of that Accor is the best of a bad lot…

    Good one, England desperately needs a decent opposition team. Problem is that the rivalry wouldnt really inspire much in the english fans

    Pacific Championships 2024

    ^^^ That rubbish about the international calendar being rushed (its not great, but best it has been in 30+ years) and the rubbish about the Roo-England tour being jealousy of tonga/samoa is just sour milk (i see the ashes as being part charity for the English team, part market testing the...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    the first 5 minutes is a premium whinge, but the later parts are a decent listen. they are right that they missed the boat on the match vs Tonga (no one to blame but themselves). id advocate a tri-series with Tonga and Samoa or a Four nations with PNG as well.

    Entire Wests Tigers Board Sacked

    Obvious solution is to drop LO for all but 1 or 2 matches per year. 6 games at Accor (LC to stadium is same as for the Dogs) and 4/5 in Campbeltown.

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Pfft, IRL is a shit organisation. Why is bowing to them the measure of a quality come? I judge the comp on its merits and it has international RL in the best position since the 90s

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Not always true, i was at the Reggaeton concert there a few months ago. It would have been below 10k and it was buzzing. (The big difference was that the crowd was 99% latinos, they know how to play. Australian are depressing in comparison) seriously, i think the solution is double headers. You...

    The Game Jerseys, Logos, Mock Ups, Photos ANYTHING

    These are the best designs!! super simple from a distance, super complex close up. it looks iconic on the field, but you might have it in your cupboard for 5 years and find a new detail
