    Auckland RL pulling Warriors out of NSW U/20s

    I don't think it will stop a mass migration because its not actually providing any opportunities for talented youngsters. They are leaving looking for an opportunity in the NRL, and that won't happen just because the local league is stronger. Players aren't in Qcup and NSW cup because its a...

    NRL strategic plan 2018-2022 as it relates to expansion

    out of curiosity, is there a particular logistical reason why Perth are aligned with NSW as opposed to QRL competitions. Storm have their affiliates in QLD, and previously Manly and Canberra did until NSWRL stepped in. Just wondering if there is a particular reason to go this way.

    NRL strategic plan 2018-2022 as it relates to expansion

    On ABC Grandstand today their was a brief mention of the Cairns Mayor meeting with Peter Beatie to discuss a combined Cairns/PNG Bid. Maybe if they already haven't its time for the WA bid to lick their wounds and re-engage with the new ARLC board and Peter Beattie to explain why it would be...

    2018 Crowd Watch

    Swans have over 50 000 members. Do you think that all of this marketing for game day on the wireless is just dragging casuals off the street to come watch this crap, or maybe their attendance is somehow related to the number of members they have.

    2018 Crowd Watch

    You need to give it a rest. Without any marketing or advertising at least 40 000 members of these two clubs know that they were playing each other at their shared home stadium. these members will have had the shit marketed out of them, and probably already had paid to be at the game.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    fair enough... thought maybe just pull out those far away stands on the ends and bring them up to the edge of the field in line with/connecting with the side stands... f**k the athletics track off. That set up there has capacity of about 60k which is way overs, but reduced and closer may be...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I'm pretty sure there is because I think one season when the roar and reds made finals it was creating some drama on the ground being over used for the season.. not sure of exact details too. Suncorp also has some sort of limitation that restricts it from being used before a certain time on...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Could they do something with this shithole on the Southside of Brisbane... broncos averaged mid 40ks there in the 90s. think it just sits pretty idle now, athletics do stuff there occaisonally, but they also have facilites out back of the stadium from memory.

    Increasing the fatigue factor

    I think they should take the shot clock off the screens. Players just take the piss watching the clock. If they don't know how much time they have they'll just get on with the game or risk a penalty because they can't count to 30. Also starting to see players go down with injury at...

    Redcliffe put their hand up

    I'm not sure thst geography will provide a differential because broncos formed as an all of brisbane team and didn't grow geographically from a suburb. They are pretty equally supported and opposed in all areas of brisbane..there is no north v south v east v west rivallry with broncos. I don't...

    seriously, do you think its the nrl charging for parking?? Its not their stadium. Not everything in the world is the NRLs fault.... but very piss poor if it is.

    So how do you/they see the Titans... are they a Qld team, or do they represent northern NSW. Seems identity is an issue for the Titans, as it seems a lot of Qlders don't see them as a Qld team either, Me, I don't give a rats either way because the whole geography of your footy club has bevomr...

    Which QLD bid would you pick ?

    not being picky, just helpful, but your distances are a bit off PR. Logan to Suncorp is around 30 km and only a 30min drive, similar on train. Don't know about the new Redcliffe train line, but a drive from Redcliffe to Suncorp is no big deal either, still only a 40ish minute drive.

    Which QLD bid would you pick ?

    the difference is that people living in Redcliffe and Ipswich are already accustomed to making that journey to watch NRL football, so they don't have that mindset of entitlement that says I must be able to attend a game in my backyard. I travel train from Sunny Coast to Suncorp, its full all...

    RL Discrimination

    f**k a petition..The WARL should just take it straight to the anti discrimination commission...must be plenty of evidenve to support them.

    Women's NRL

    Why wouldn't they be second tier comps. Surely the quality women rugby league players in NSW are already playing in the NSW Womens premiership, and similarly there are 27 Senior womens teams in SE Qld, I'd be surprised if the majority of the Qld players aren't already in these comps. I'd...

    NZ v Poms in US

    So have the NRL said anything other than they support the test and clubs will be fined if they don't release players. The RLPA is not the NRL, and club coaches are not the NRL.. maybe I missed it but I haven't seen a backflip from the NRL saying clubs don't have to release players. Seems the...

    The RLIF mid season test shambles

    No... obviously the issue is that Paul Kent is a dumb f**kwit who doesn't speak on behalf of the NRL. Why do people get so outraged and blame the NRL when 9 times out of 10 the opinions are just those of f**kwit journalists trying to a. sound like they are in the know, and b. trying to sound...

    2018 Crowd Watch

    considering most clubs don't own their stadiums, do they benefit from beer and food sales, or does that make its way back to the owners?

    Would the Gold Coast licence be better off used elsewhere?

    this is happening. Victoria has teams in Qld Colts u20s state league comp, and u18s Mal Meninga comp. Not sure how many are Storm contracted players though, guess doesn't really matter, but at least these kids are getting to play footy at a decent level with an opportunity to progress...
