Take some responsibility? What - become CEO of the club and install a TPA strategy?

Jesus.

Pretty typical simpleton response from you, Beaver.

If a club is in financial strife, is it not fair to suggest an indifferent fanbase is partly to blame? Manly have been very successful on field in the last 10 years yet here they stand on deaths door having to take home games to other stadiums to make some coin

Probably more to do with being the only team in a major city where Rugby League is the number one sport.

Mate, in my line of work I have had to deal with more than my fair share of "Trust fund babies".

The self entitled smugness of these people and the arrogant demenour of them is incredible.

They feel like everything they have is earned despite the fact they have done nothing for it and have no concept of reality.

Bronco's supporters are so similar to them its quite scary.

You, are an idiot.

No need to paint it any other way or bother engaging you in any form of dialogue. You are just a simple, idiot.

The fact you actually believe "an indifferent fanbase" has anything to do with a clubs TPA's says it all.

Geez IBM

You still standing bro?

You just took some big hits.

Brisbane population 2.4 million. Brisbane TPA about 2 million.

Newcastle population 300K. Newcastle TPA about 250K.

Hmmm. Can you see some sort of correlation there IBM?

This is why teams must get a bye for Origin. Especially the Broncos, Cowboys, Sharks, Roosters and Dogs.

f**k teams. the whole comp. the NRL is being run like suburban amateur league. yeah, yeah, but broadcasters blah, blah. this is the issue when a League doesn't control their product, or it's being controlled by fugging morons.....bunker is a great example.

stand alone weekends for Origin every 3 weeks (or NR 2 rounds in between). Teams go into camp on Monday and play on the Sunday night.

Pretty much, and these Blues dicks downplaying Milford in Origin had better be very cautious

It all bears on experience. Whether Milford will lose his nerve or not remains to be seen. But a couple of dry reaches in the dressing room will fix that up.

Lots of newbie performers I'm looking forward to with Milford,Peats,Trbojevic.

The Qld forward pack is a more experience hard nosed mob which has been through this before.

I do expect the Qld side to get up in this one by 8 being the home ground which is worth 2 or 3 tries in itself.

We've seen at all before since 1980,Qld come out and screw us in the first game,and we end up playing catch up whilst between the next two games,NEWS ltd,Foxsports and every man and his dog will have one big mass-debate in what went wrong and who should have been or out of the squad.

Rinse and repeat for the next 50 long years.
