Yeah it has been strong for a while. As the report indicates, half of Australia’s exports come from WA. We are blessed with the amount of resources we have, so that is definitely not NZ’s fault.
I’d love another team in NZ (because heck your country is so spectacularly beautiful and it’s...
I’m guessing you don’t follow the MLB and NBA much MugaB. Look I get where you are coming from with the Panthers and all but seriously as a neutral fan or somebody who hasn’t got skin in a particular match here or there and who just wants to watch a contest, the competition can’t be strong in...
Whilst I was hesitant about the viability of a 20 team competition previously, it would be downright negligence to do it now. Unless the ARLC completely revolutionise the player market system, there will be some absolutely unwatchable games.

If the ruggers are going to die, they jump on the flogball train
Yeah and Boston have only just started another great side 20-30 years after their last one. As soon as Bird retirex they had to go back to the beginning. Chicago haven’t sniffed a comp since Jordan. It’s cyclical and that’s my point. That doesn’t mean that it gets shared around but it does mean...
1. That’s very very arguably.
2. Yeah and changed the whole game to stop them from winning more. Funny that.
3. I can’t answer the question and even if I could it’s a useless comparison in any case. The NRL isn’t soccer in Europe. We are in a highly competitive market and they aren’t.
The argument isn’t parity mate. It is unpredictability. When something is unpredictable, it is more exciting. Also, I’m not talking about within a year, or even a couple of years, I’m talking about five years, ten years or twenty years.
For example, I have never seen an NBA team or a MLB team...
Ah yes the premier league counter argument. Hate to break to you but rugby league in this country is about the equivalent of the A-League in comparison to football in England. When Rugby League is the only sport played in Australia in winter then you might have a point
Huh? How many of them could actually win? Let’s be honest the choice is two teams. If you go by that barometer most competitions in the world are more open than this one.
Seriously mate what is this response? Most competitions in the world have a draft or some other mechanism on top of salary cap. You do this to avoid teams just planting themselves at the top of the ladder. Now you can label it as anti-Darwinistic if you like but Rugby League like any other...
No s*** they are inconsistent. That’s been the argument all along. I’m looking forward to you demanding the head (metaphorically) of every tackler that causes injury from now on. I won’t hold my breath though. Hopefully your sanctimonious flog of a coach does as well.
