You blokes are slow as.

If you looked closely at Benjis eyes, he was blinking in Morse code

“ h-e-l-d h-o-s-t-a-g-e -b-y -she-e-I-n-z”

After he’s won his share of spoons, Farah takes over for another 5 spoons followed by ciraldo manning up to coach nrl for more spoons.

We are well and truly f**ked for another decade and a bit, by which time we can be sold to the Bank of China as the Second Solomon islands rugby league team in the nrl.

You can have your squalid Wenty and it’s shiny 31 story car park.

Its funny watching retro games ... things you just take for granted these days were very different years ago.

Literally everything is a knock on nowdays. So many dropped balls let go in years gone by. Tbh i liked it better when they let a bit go, but i understand expectations have changed.

Blocker was just bagging a guy for coming off with a bit of an eye cut after smashing heads with Les Davidson. Lol

they should refer to it as dropped ball rather than knock on because a ball knocked backwards gets ruled a knock on

make no sense

He reckons they have 220,000 fans ... do they? Half of em are probably dead by now.

Also one condition is that the North Sydney Bears hold the frqnchise license ... is some other club going to be happy with that. Worked out well for the Bears when Manly held the Norther Eagles license.

That was a merger though. I think this proposal is for a new standalone team. I don’t think anyone would have a problem with it.

Im sure it would all start sweet and rosey - but i imagine it wouldnt take much for things to get unsettled and i would imagine theres a fair chance of getting a group in an influential position wanting to take their license and go home

Maybe somewhere like perth would be happy to take the risk

Maybe north sydney are happy somewhere not overly league oriented m8ght be a risk of coming unstuck eventually

Ok I see what you mean. But still, who would hold the licence if not for the North Sydney Bears football club?

Perth or whoever it is. Just thinking a new franchise might want full control of itself .... tho i can also see the benefit of having some money (is Singo still involved?)

No idea. I guess their argument is that they’re bringing a supporter base and presumably funding so they are entitled to hold the licence.

I question the supporter base thing. Where do they get this 220K from? I dunno if people are that invested in your team being situated thousands of miles away.
Would i be very invested in a Perth Eels team? Not overly.
