    2024 Crowd Watch

    No sorry, Titans will beat Knights tomorrow and then Knights will beat the Dolphins next week. Meanwhile St. George will beat Raiders next week and jump back into the eight to finish the season.

    It hasn`t mate, I flicked on one their games today and it was awful, even the commentator was saying how poor the quality was, for a fumbleball commentator that`s a big call. My son came out of his room and asked why I was laughing, I said just watch this. LOL.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    This is an interesting point and a mentality that is probably fostered by having Rugby League fans still watching their sport on tv (or attending) many half-arsed suburban grounds every week. This has fed into an inferiority complex type mentality that we are still really only a glorified...

    18th club, whose next?

    Totally agree with that, especially if Western Reds take off, South Oz and Adelaide will be the glaringly obvious missing piece in the puzzle. It will also have immediate and massive appeal in a marketing sense. So much easier to market teams that represent a state, especially in encounters...

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Coming down to Sydney for Parra/Saints game, thought we might catch the Manly/Dogs game on Friday, after experiencing the Bulldogs fans at Kogarah recently are dead keen to avoid being surrounded by Dog`s fans again. Can any one advise me whether there is separate areas for Sea Eagles fans and...

    Your little fumbleball hissyfit (so cute when your mad you f-ball fans)) is a prime example of what happens when cult members are suddenly exposed to the real world, denial followed by anger. But don`t worry your exec`s know what`s going on, in fact their first attempt to grab back the...

    Cult like, totally oblivious to the outside world. equally unaware of the on-coming storm. F-ball CEO`s not so ignorant, reported from the recent f-ball ceo annual get together, we`re losing the initiative to NRL, have to start to start copying more things they do.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    Guaranteed this will be another sad, half-thought through attempt by the numpties who run Oz rugby to garner a few headlines and try to create a little relevancy. I suppose if you can`t afford to sign the Lote Tuiquiri`s anymore to get headlines, then go for the bargain basement buys whose name...

    I sincerely hope so. Love the bit about a " board of prominent investors".

    Still sounds a little like to me they are pulling in different directions and the NS Bears side of the venture still dream of being in control.

    Couple of things. our ratings were probably affected by the union being on, and secondly how can the union possibly hope to get a larger contract when they have shrunk their competition by 20%.

    I remember distinctly in the early days of captains challenge an Eels` player being quizzed after the game about what his thoughts were surrounding that new rule (mind you, it had been in for a couple of months) player responded we don`t really have any tactics or planning around that, we...

    18th club, whose next?

    That`s a lot of, lot of money in PNG. Could hit 55 + million once local multinationals and PNG Gov add their bit.

    There was a lot of talk about `attracting the best talent from other sports` and offering cap exemptions, I thought it went through, may be mistaken.

    Given the number of South Africans in the crowd at the wobblies test matches the last couple of weeks I wonder if it would be worth the Western Bears taking advantage of the salary cap exemption and throw some money at one of the South Africans. I wouldn`t recommend throwing money away if the...

    18th club, whose next?

    To add to the point @Vlad59, plenty of third world countries play soccer, play it very well and add to the prestige of any tournament they are involved in. Why can`t PNG do that for the NRL.

    18th club, whose next?

    PNG also offer another country, population estimated to be upwards of 15m, playing in the wealthiest sports league in the southern hemisphere. Strategically this is a big deal. Look at the map, once Western Oz and PNG are admitted Rugby League will cover the complete arc from Perth around and...

    Like their participation rates they also have an Auskick version of what constitutes being a forum member. Walk past a computer and your counted ! Late edit: also off topic, my son informs me yesterday A.B.`Banjo` Patterson was a Rugby League fan and wrote Rugby League articles for newspapers...
