    Crowd Watch, Part III

    With reports that the West Tigers marriage is on thin Ice at board level, due to in part poor management and finances of Balmain and Penrith with seemingly endless resources and grand ambition but lack of community support. What are the chances of Wests leaving Balmain and creating a super...

    SL Crowds thread

    Would it be any benefit to London if the targeted the 1000’s of Aussie expats living in the city? It would be a never ending production line of potential fans Maybe even a rebranding to the London Roo’s or something like that? I know rugby has teams such as London Irish and London Welsh Surely...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation

    My thoughts exactly, I seem to remember a few other code in crisis episodes one after SBW headed off to France and one following the Melbourne Storm drama, and the game not only survived but flourished after both. On a scale of 1-10 of NRL scandals, 1 being shitting in a motel hallway 10 being...

    How long before the ultimate expansion?

    I think now that Rugby 7?s has been included in the Olympics, the smaller associate RL nations will jump ship, as government founding is a whole lot easier to obtain when a shiny gold medal is up for grabs. Unfortunately for whatever reason international Union is 50 years a head of...

    Brisbane Bombers Bid

    Just being a dumb NSW’man, would it be possible to get a map of QLD/Brisbane to show where each bid is based and there proposed catchment? It is all getting a bit confusing for me!

    TV rights thread part 4

    Sorry I should have been more clear I do have Austar (Foxtel) I was just speaking of the perspective of the 70% of Australians who don?t. We receive the AFL here on 7mate, I assumed as it is a HD channel they broadcast the games in HD , football seems so much clearer but maybe that is just...

    TV rights thread part 4

    I live in southern NSW (Riverina) right in the middle of the battle zone of RL and AFL. The kind of area where everyone has an AFL and RL team and supports both passionately. As of next year on free to air I’ll be able to watch 3 live AFL games in HD 1 Live A-League game in HD plus a...

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    Good to see they kept it simple, less is more when it comes to kits in my opinion, would like to see the sponsor below the V though. Are cash converters back on board officially? If so it’s great to see from a heritage point of view. Would have preferred the Reds moniker but I’m...

    NRL expansion being dropped from agenda until at least 2015

    I’m sure the commission let all the bids know what they should be doing for the next 5 years, If done probably these expansion teams will grow league in the respective areas for the next 100+ years, 5 years is not that long in the scheme of things, also ensures the best bid wins, we...

    Merging League and Union. Impossible but sensible.

    I tried to watch one at a pub the other week, but everyone around was more interested in the A-League on another screen! I know in the past internationals have produced some great games of footy, but I feel at the moment SOO is miles a head in media hype, intensity and quality. What would...

    PNG bid for NRL

    Just had a mate get back from PNG after doing the Kokoda trail, he has been to a number of 3rd world countries and rates Port Moresby as one of the biggest holes he has been to. To put a team there for token values would just be ridiculous, maybe when we the NRL expands to 30 teams in 2050...

    Merging League and Union. Impossible but sensible.

    Totally agree, RL is a better product but RU actually has stranglehold on the game globally, and now rugby 7?s has been added to the Olympics I cannot see RL getting close for number of generations if ever. Only thing international RU has to gain from any merger would be a few small cities in...
