    The Game Rugby League Rules Ideas and Areas of Inprovement

    I actually don't hate the idea of allowing conversions from drop kicks. Could add an element of excitement to close games at the end.

    The Game Rugby League Rules Ideas and Areas of Inprovement

    If I had to have a change I would like to see a three point conversion introduced. One tackle from the centre of the 20 metre line. Defensive line starts on the tryline. Score a try, three point conversion.

    Sure it'd put pressure on him, but I think if they said 'we'll chip in $50 million if you do too' that the most likely result of it is the upgrade to Bruce Stadium. I can't stress this enough - this is not his love of AFL or hatred of league that is getting him to ignore the stadium. It's that...

    It’s a self-governing territory. Albanese is not going to override a state ALP leader on an infrastructure issue, especially when that issue is prioritising public transport over a stadium.

    The Mandolorian

    'You are an apostate and an outcast, we will never speak to you again' 'I went for a swim' 'Cool bro, great to see you! How have you been?' So is that just the rule? f**k up all you want then take a quick dip and you're back in?

    This was one suggestion for a cheaper upgrade from a few years ago: It's basically removing the existing roofs of the stands and building this over the top. Refurbish the seats and facilities while you're at it and they'll call it job done. I'm anticipating something very similar to this...

    And you carrying on about it doesn't change the fact it's his priority. I don't really understand what your point is. I'd like a new stadium too, he clearly doesn't see it that way and neither do the people who keep him in power.

    The access at Queanbeyan isn’t great. It’s a long way from the population centres in Canberra. It would have a seriously negative impact on crowds.

    You can be upset about it all you like. But he basically has blinkers on when it comes to priorities. It’s light rail first, daylight second, everything else in the distance. And with the way the ACT votes he has a mandate to do it.

    I think you're overestimating the pull of the All-Stars or a Kangaroos test. Neither of them is going to make the ACT Government cough up $300 million for a stadium. And? It would take 100 or so years of that level of funding to pay for a stadium. For a government that's basically...

    Barr's main focus is for his legacy for Canberra to have a rail network. It's that simple. All he wants is for when he leaves office is for the ACT light rail network to be a multi-line transport network. That is where the bulk of the funding is going. The ACT has a 16-9 ALP/Green-Coalition...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    If after years of the Raiders and Brumbies being unable to get a new stadium in Canberra, I don't really see how a team in a league that draws on average 7,000 fans to a game gets the ball rolling on it. The A-League has the least demanding stadium requirements of any pro-sports league in the...

    I'm sorry but on what planet does Melbourne need a rectangular stadium bigger than AAMI Park? It's perfect. You can bump the seats in at Docklands to make it 48,000 rectangular-ish if you've got a big game. Anything bigger than that is an 'event' game and people are mainly going for the...

    Three niche tenants on the WA landscape. And they've already spent a heap of money on Perth Oval in the last decade, most recently the upgrades for the upcoming Womens World Cup. They aren't going to drop $350m+ on a stadium for sports most Westerners don't give a rip about.

    Yeah but it's also completely unneccessary. Whilst Perth Red harps on about nonsense, I will allow it that the Western Stand is small and outdated at Perth Oval. Build a decent stand on that side with corporate facilities that run the whole length of the ground and you've got a very good...

    People do not want to hand over $750 million of public money for six AFL games a year when schools, hospitals and houses are absolutely f**ked. And there's already a 19,500 seat stadium in Hobart. They are absolutely right. Likewise WA would be beyond idiotic to fund a new rectangular stadium...

    Nah, he actually has a solution to everything. It's to show a picture of Perth Oval and go 'but Perth'. Then show a google maps image with a bit of Perth shaded in. The game is saved!

    This will depend on how much the QCA throws its weight around. The five mainland states run cricket in this country. Tasmania gets the scraps and Cricket ACT is only an associate member of CA.
