    Thumbs up the bum all round for the Blues!

    Yeah, because second half of sudden death Origin 2 is where you should be experimenting.

    One for the purists that half, not a huge amount of tryline action until the last 15 minutes.

    '11 | Origin II | Wed 15 Jun | NSW 18-8 QLD | ANZ #origin

    "I don't want to harp on it" about the NSW shot for goal says Gould, now watch him harp on it for the rest of the game.

    '11 | Origin II | Wed 15 Jun | NSW 18-8 QLD | ANZ #origin

    It took 20 minutes for either side to have any possession inside the opponent's 10.

    '11 | Origin II | Wed 15 Jun | NSW 18-8 QLD | ANZ #origin

    A bit of variability on Soward's kicks wouldn't go astray. A grubber, a high bomb... anything but giving the full back marking practice.

    Gallollen!

    Cummins allowing NSW to get away with murder after that first gift two to Qld.

    RL independence day arrives - NRL Independent Commission announced for November 1

    Translation: the QRL is sh1tscared that the IC is actually going to happen and is putting the word out that they are pulling out all the stops to protect their blazer-wearing jobs for the boys.

    at least the manly guys were outdoors

    The urination story has had cold water poured over it, to coin a phrase. Video footage has been scanned, and it didn't happen. Fact remains that the AFL has had a worse preseason than the NRL in off-field behaviour, though.

    The TV rights thread

    Only flogs treat the prospect of ESPN actually investing in Australian sports rights as anything other than a joke, given past history.

    The TV rights thread

    They don't have anywhere near the budget for that locally. They're a farflung outpost, not a real channel.

    The TV rights thread

    Sort of. What Caro has been doing is pretty much running the AFL House line. She's got a direct line to management in there and has been acting as their unofficial PR, putting their thought balloons up without much in the way of editing, and seeing who salutes. So yes, it's bullsh*t, but it's...

    The TV rights thread

    Depending on who you listen to today it's going to be 7/10, 7 on its own or 9 on its own as the FTA component of the deal, there is no certainty about that at all. Caro is correct to identify that Fox Sports is the one constant that everybody has agreed upon, they're going to be the senior...

    Gallop going ? (please be true)

    Demetriou's not corrupt - he has many bad qualities, but that's not one of them. They bloody pay him well enough not to be. Demetriou is also standing on the shoulders of the giants who came before him. If you're looking for a role model, think more Pete Rozelle and Ross Oakley. They had...

    Gallop going ? (please be true)

    Gallop was a defensive CEO, a classic middle manager. His main job was to make sure things didn't get worse and keep the plates spinning - trudge around the place putting out spot fires. The NRL needs an offensive CEO. They're in a position now where the upside is too great to stick with...

    Keating bitten by Bulldog

    Paul Keating? He'd be more likely to get his finger stuck in a grandfather clock.

    The TV rights thread

    I don't think so. Packer and Murdoch bought into Ten specifically to sabotage Ten's incursions into the territory of Sky News with their evening news block and Fox Sports with ONE. Now that they have been successful at that, with the ACCC being p1ssweak pantywaists in not lifting a finger about...

    The TV rights thread

    Most of the comparisons in that article, as in most articles on this issue from either side of the fence, are not like-for-like. There are always quirks in both sets of figures that can allow spruikers for either camp to explain away the discrepancies, such that the articles on this subject are...

    Westside bro !!!!

    I feel stupider for having watched that.
