    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    That's not the worst outcome. After people see how great a rectangular well built stadium can be after Western Sydney Stadium opens, a future government that's not facing a tenuous reelection or driving a cost-only agenda can do the proper knock down of ANZ. We might have to wait but that's...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    That's the kind of single-club short sighted thinking that can end up with us holding 5 jokers at the end of the day. We could be the Manly of the west, continually begging for $400m for a stadium to service 10 games a year at 55% capacity. Or we could be part of a combined push for a modern...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Every now and then there's a mention of a whisper of a future Outer Western Sydney Stadium to be built somewhere west of the M7. If infrastructure planners had any say on it, surely the Western Sydney Aerotropolis would be an amazing and logical opportunity for a boutique size stadium like WSS...

Only live into Sydney and Brisbane?!?! I can't even find Gem ratings, was it even shown to other states?

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Would you goto the SFS by train? To me I find getting off at central and then waiting for a connecting bus or trekking 2km uphill along Fovauex St a bit offputting. On the plus side, on the way home that walk is a brisk downhill stroll when you want to skip the mega bus queue.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    To people who argue that Olympic Park is a terrible location with terrible transport options, do you live on the freaking moon?!? For outsiders, this is Sydney: If anything, Olympic Park is even MORE central than Parramatta. It has its own train station 200m walk from the ground, If you have...

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    NOT ENOUGH DEPTH FOR EXPANSION, NOT ENOUGH DEPTH FOR EXPANSION :crazy: ----------> (adds 176 players to professional players pool). Now fear-mongering contractionists can strangle expansion for another quarter-century given 2 new clubs will require another 72 elite professionals on top of the...

    New NSW Second division plan "Platinum League"

    His supposed whole of game strategic review had its wings clipped because they are too scared to expand. So it has turned into this reshuffling the deck chairs exercise. His quotes from the start of the year were all positive about growth. Then it got really quiet.

    the nrl and its need to grow

    Broncos Warn Against Expanding Beyond Means Question for everyone about TV revenue passed onto the clubs via the NRL grant: Would you consider it to be: a) a handout from the nrl that clubs are not naturally entitled to which keeps them alive. b) a legitimate form of club revenue that the...

    the nrl and its need to grow

    Successful business's are overwhelmingly the result of entrepreneurs that take risks. In the business world you either grow or you die. You don't wait around for growth opportunities to be handed to you on a silver platter, that you will only accept AFTER someone else has underwritten the risk...

    Expansion dead in the water

    You'd think that any genuine "whole of game"review would consider the opportunity cost of not increasing our potential reach in giving even 1 team to the 5-6m people who live West of Melbourne X every single year we remain absent from the 4th and 5th largest metro TV markets in the country. Not...

    Is there the depth of talent for expansion?

    We are heading for possibly a record high points for the wooden spooners (already equal highest). And it may be as few as 3 wins from last to 8th. Maybe the spread of talent / evenness of competition isn't nearly as bad as people think?

    Foxtel Risks Losing Top Shows In NRL Standoff Can anyone point to anywhere that might back up this statement? If anything like that was happening surely we would have heard it by now through the AFL spin machine?

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    The SFS can't be THAT outdated can it? But okay, let's entertain the idea that is MUST come down because it is about to collapse like Leichhardt & Brookvale, in that scenario Levi's Stadium is not the model for us. THERE IS ZERO COVERAGE FROM THE ELEMENTS THERE. Sydney gets 4X the amount of...

    Broncos vs. Panthers in Honolulu

    Is there the depth of talent for expansion?

    I find the depth argument to be a load of crap. In a 16 team comp there will be 1 team that will finish 16 spots below another team. Are we waiting until 4 points separates 1st to last before we declare we have enough depth? Last can still beat 1st on any given day And given we have a salary...

    Matt Moylans dead ball on friday

    Ease up. It's just counter-intuitive see that rules apply differently depending on who/where you are. AKA the "Billy Slater Conundrum" :)

    Matt Moylans dead ball on friday

    Does this all relate to how they "fixed" the rule a decade ago so that you can no longer just stick a foot over the dead ball line and scoop it dead? The fact of this case is that Moylan took a step over the dead ball line so he did not leave the field of play as a live player unlike those...

    Future NRL Stadiums

    Well with Parramatta and Homebush being relatively close to each other by Sydney standards, compared to the wide spread of our 14 professional football teams, then I would argue yes.
