The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

I think you will find that was never the case

You lost the strong regional clubs when in the 50s they were getting beaten by big scores

Divisions came in the state cups in the 60s

Brisbane clubs joined the midweek cup but couldnt compete so finally combined, and Combined Brisbane could compete. That success triggered the Broncos a few years later
BRL didn't have the resources to retain their best talent because pokies were illegal in Queensland until the 1990s. Pokies were legalised in NSW in the 1950s. The Leagues Clubs of the NSWRL teams generated a massive amount of revenue from poker machines that allowed them to plunder the BRL. State of Origin was created on the back of this. The NSWRL and Sydney media were against State of Origin because they wanted Queensland to be their whipping boys each year.

Whenever NSWRL clubs have had an advantage they've used it to destroy non-NSWRL clubs. When NSWRL are at a disadvantage they use their control of the ARLC to rig things in their favour. The only reason the annual grant is 130% of the salary cap is so Manly, Cronulla and St George don't go under.

When is the announcement expected so the sharks can get that free money from the taxpayers to upgrade some parts of their privately owned ground?
I believe we’re just waiting for Scomo to be back in town for the announcement….. nothing beats a good old-fashioned pork-barreling imo. At the end of the day I’m not greedy….as long as we get enough coin to get the wi-fi sorted I’ll be happy.

Whatever they get will be spent on weaving a rug big enough to cover all the scandals the club has amassed over the years. Spend the money on grassroots football and forget about upgrading Endeavour. If a stadium is to be rebuilt or upgraded then spend it on Campbeltown or put a grand stand on the eastern terrace at Wollongong Stadium.

What and have that side rust and be at risk of falling down too, don’t be silly!

Show meeeeenthe money!!! The pokies area will need extra chairs for all the extra patrons frequenting the shiny new club.

I'm really keen to get me some good internet coverage at the game. Free internet paid by others is even better.

Hopefully we get an announcement soon. Been a good year of announcements for the game...

- Redcliffe
- Good TV deal
- Penrith new stadium
- hopefully an announcement of the others that will have money spent on them

We have always had shit administrators and yes, the current administration is polarising, but they are getting some good things done

lol you are just proving his point, sour grapes over our success I would say.

Explain how we are a 'cancer' on the competition

The way the Roosters are able to "cleverly" manipulate the salary cap while everyone else sits back going "WTF is going on there" is cancer like. With cancer you know you are sick but you cant work out why.
The cancer cells are hard to detect and they prey on unhealthy bodies.
So you might think of the Roosters "cleverness" as the cancer and the Tigers dumbness as the cigarette addiction (this specific example relates to the Roosters cancer cells corrupting Tedesco and turning him into a cancer - this was the low point of RL history in my opinion).
We cant see what's going on at the molecular level but paper bags are passing hands.
