    Is Mariner an automatic selection for NZ?

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Just nuts that both St George and Cronulla have not built up their rivalry to a not-to-be-missed, 25-35k showdown at the Sydney Football Stadium twice per year.

    2024 R9 Fri - Brisbane 18-40 Sydney @ Suncorp

    Fox commentators not at the ground lack genuine feel for the game.

    Brisbane trying to get flashy every set. Rightfully punished.

    Brisbane not prepared to earn anything.

    What is with these stupid attempted grubbers?

    Why couldn't they bury Ashley Klein in some shitty rainy Sydney game?

    The in-goal is not the field of play. It is always treated differently. For example there is no offside in the in-goal. Again, there is no logic here. Just expedience.

    They don't get disadvantaged, they get a 20m restart. They don't then require an extra advantage. But it's not counter-attack. Counter-attack by it's nature is unstructured and a result of players playing. Not rule-makers interceding on a defending sides behalf, which is what you're describing...

    Not only this, but allowing the quick tap rather than the old tap (on the ground, remove the hands) gives even more advantage to the defending team. Compounding the issue. The zero-tackle rule was originally implemented as it was considered unfair for a tackle to be registered when a player...

    Why is a kick to touch in-goal an 'error', as you say, and not a kick into touch? You can dress it up however you want, but seven tackle sets from a 20 metre line restart, are still shit and totally disproportionate. There is no coherent logic to their application as you're intimating. Whether...

    He's bang on about the seven tackle rule. It's mind-numbingly stupid.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    The Perth stadum is also better than Tamworth, Mudgee, Coffs Harbour, Sunshine Coast and a range of suburban and regional stadiums around Australia where the NRL is played. But does Perth - a supposed prominent capital city - measure themselves against the suburbs and regions? That's pretty...

    The best that Perth can do is be better than Shark Park?

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Did a Queenslander bumjack your mum mate? No harm in noting the shortcomings of Perth's stadium situation and its negative impact on NRL metrics both this year and for any future NRL team.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    It all means nothing without firm plans from the WA Government. Do they even have a plan, commitment, anything? The attitude of AFL states is ‘they can just play bigger games at shitty ovals’. No need to upgrade deliver proper football stadiums. So right now we vague statements from...

    Shame that Perth will drag our crowd averages down in 2024, but Redcliffe are cashing in nicely.

    Backwater it is then. Glad the Dolphins are skinning the hicks with those ticket prices and government handouts.

    Have the WA Government announced anything yet or happy to stay a backwater?

    That suburban park will bring NRL crowd averages down.
