[Vee]

@beaveI was going to go but Qantas wanted $1300 return from Canberra. S!

So you feel our pain travelling down from NQ for the big games every f*cken year.

I mean you can book flights from Townsville to Brisbane for origin 2 leaving Saturday 26th and returning Monday 28th for $469 total at the moment. Slightly different.

Not painful because I didn’t pay. But you know, I could move and so could you!

 

[beave]

@beave have you got flights booked? I was going to go but Qantas wanted $1300 return from Canberra. So I booked game two in protest. What a time to be alive tho!

i was toying with heading up from brissy and decided against it……. then my mate got me a game ticket this arvo so I thought ‘stuff it’ and booked flights. The flights aren’t cheap but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have an origin in my home town. Can’t f**king wait!!!! Townsville will be going off.

Hard to argue with that. If they want to get Liverpool up they need to kill the idea of renovating suburban stadiums. Can’t have both. It is obviously not the direction PVL is taking. Conversely, any budget announcement to reno suburban stadiums also kills off the possibly of Liverpool in the near future.
Just on Kogarah, will it still be oval?

NSW govt should be spending money on a shared Bankwest stadium for Bulldogs and Tigers as the priority, if the clubs want it. Then offer Dragons and Sharks a new southern sydney stadium, if they dont want it fine let them play out of their dumps forever more and continue to lose relevance and ground to the big clubs. Ridiculous to be putting $200million lipstick on these suburban pigs that get a hand full of games a year.

It will be Brookvale and Penrith to be announced in the state budget.

And so it should be!

Should be Liverpool

Should be Liverpool over Penrith, I can't see a reason Penrith should be included.

Would our dumbass club commit full-time to Liverpool?

 

[forby]

Why should Liverpool be considered? Nobody would want to play or travel there!

Precisely. There's a good chance that a Liverpool stadium will house two teams (Bulldogs & Tigers), so that's a big point in it's favour. Bonus if it solves the question about "Where exactly IS the Tigers home ground?" and means that Leichhardt is well and truly retired as a regular NRL venue.

My info is that it is an option, but who knows with the Tigers?

 

[TheEroticGamer]

Liverpool lol may as well build a new ground in Orange

More reason than Penrith

Exactly, Leichhardt one game a year.

I can just see the gov't/NRL saying that they would build it if us and the dogs commit to it full-time. And us going 'yeah, nah,maybe a few games here and there'.

We'll f**k it up.
