No one whinges more than the average NSWRL fan.

"There's no f**ken hill at this new ground!"

"Broncos have all the f**ken money!"

"It's all in favour of the Broncos!"

"Super League killed the game!"

"Bring back the Bears!"

"Bring back the shoulder charge!"

"Bring back reserve grade!"

"There's not enough Sydney teams!"

"I have to watch the f**ken Broncos every Friday night!"

There actually isn't enough Sydney teams, we need the bears back

Agree its the logical choice for the 18th team

Low risk option, multi-national corporate support, junior structures in place, 1 mil population, ready built stadium, history, immediate rivalries and brand power

No need to wait for 35 years to develop something which the Gold Coast are still struggling to do

Nah the last time we had a Brit running the game it was a total disaster.

Dave Smith was as useful as ice cream in Lappland
Did some reasonable things.

Aligned touch with the nrl. The game hasn’t fully utilised that since and appears to prefer league tag which I get. But a stronger alignment with touch as he envisioned would make sense.

He also put the wheels in motion to de-power the nsw country rugby league which had to happen as they were stuck int the 70s at that time.

I think he misunderstood the relationship with 9 and fox. Probably wasn’t briefed properly.

I didn’t mind him.

He gambled and lost and we paid for it

if it had paid off I’d have said he’s a great leader

nine took advantage of his stupidity selling off the sat game back to fox and then getting a reduction as foxtel demanded streaming and nines deal wa exclusive
