Lachie Ash. He was awarded the prestigious E.J. Whitten Medal after being judged best on ground in Victoria's State of Origin victory over WA in February this year.
It should rate around 100k in Sydney. The Swans are in red hot form this season and momentum is building nicely for this grudge match.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Keep trying.
The expression "pushing shit uphill" springs to mind.

I guess this is true, just as the NRL is effectively NSWRL with some token sides thrown in there.
Yes, both statements are completely false.
The barassey line is ligit and will probably never really move. All that is happening is people are actually moving around the country in big enough numbers to support sides across the line, then there's always going to be a niche carved out or people who watch a bit of everything. Swans do well but so do the Storm, Lions.. but then there'll be the Bears.
And you're going to get lots of cross overs just on body types.
There's also a change in culture in Australia where young people aren't a peer pressured into one code. You're not outcast anymore when you say your into AFL or vis versa.

Can NSW get a gather round??? Great for ratings.
I can't stop cringing every time I hear " gather round" . If the NRL ever call something a name that lame, I'm going to find a new sport. They play it at 3 venues in the least relevant city in Australia - how f**king embarrassing.
Perth would have made more sense and call it anything but " gather round" uhh

Is this considered some type of achievement these days? Millions of followers tune in to watch a grown man consume urine from a toilet bowl? Outstanding ambassador for the game.
he's been outstanding for the game - obviously not for people stupid enough to think that's what happened but I think we can do without those supporters anyway.

You seem upset that the NRL has more marketable athletes. No one knows who Lachie Gash is.
Reece Walsh has made the 6pm News in Melbourne a total of once and it was for drinking some unidentified liquid from a toilet bowl. Make of that what you will.
