Positives from Penrith game ?

[eozsmiles]

but if the nrl expands won't that open up a new audience resulting in higher ratings?

If the NRL was shown nationally at accessible times on primary FTA stations then the ratings would be higher and the NRL would be in a position to sell the rights for more cash. Some people are suggesting that by showing delayed games that finish late and are full of adverts, showing games after midnight in Australia's second biggest market, amongst other things, that channel nine is running down the value of the game so to make it less appealing to other bidders and therefore cheaper for them to retain the rights.

I'm guessing the theory behind the conspiracy theory is people are running down the value of the footy club is so that their mates can buy it on the cheap?

How stupid was every Australian sucked into buying Telstra shares when they, the people/citizens, already owned Telstra!!!!

Why? They still don't screen games in reasonable times in other states, even Melbourne who have an NRL team.

Junior Paulo - seems to have been given a licence to play his natural game. Was looking to offload and get something going in attack. Hopefully he will kick on and reach his potential, could solve one of our forward problems.

yeah sorry meant Joseph, Gee and we have junior junior playing in NYC.

To avoid confusion I call Joseph Paulo, Junior Paulo Junior as he's the older Junior Paulo's younger brother and call the younger Junior Paulo, Junior Paulo Junior Junior. I wonder if Junior Paulo Junior Junior is related to both Junior Paulo and Junior Paulo Junior.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Unlikely.

Every second bloke in Samoa is named Junior Paulo.

Sorry everyone. Didn't realise this would be the result of my post. Hegel was a smart enough guy (I've actually read some of his original works rather than some Wikipedia type selective precis of what he meant). His work reflects the world he grew up in, which was very different to that of today in many respects. One point that he made was to be wary of people transplanting ideas/perspectives/understandings across historical eras. I'm not sure he was thinking of applying dialectical materialism to 'professional' sporting clubs, but who knows. Not worth getting too worked too about mate. We've got a crap footy team to worry about.

Mate did we introduce u to casper during your lu induction?

Nah, I was smoking behind the bike sheds when that class was on. Probably should have been paying attention.

Apart from the obvious - the FULL TIME SIREN

The Penrith disaster was just another example of how McGuire continually outshines Keating in the ruck / play the ball

McGuire is so ordinary when he plays anywhere else but at dummy half. He is a real handful for defenders and ALWAYS gets the forwards going.....his guile is right up there with the best no9's running around at the moment

I don't know why Parra doesn't use him more from dummy half ....That's right, of course, we have Keating....silly me , how could i forget - he says loaded with sarcasm

We've had a few injuries this year that have f**ked the use of our bench.

Maguire has never had the capability to play long minutes at hooker, he especially doesn't at this stage of his career.

Me too. I don't know what Kearney sees in Keating. I really don't.

 

[Stagger eel]

anyone who's been watching NYC would tell you that the 2 kids down there that rotate during the game are brilliant...it's a pity we can't press a button and fast track their development by 18 months.

Sounds very promising.

 

[Stagger eel]

Sounds very promising.

promising = future

future = wait

wait = f**k that i want it now!!!

f**k that i want it now = I couldn't give a rats about Luke Vesico and Kaysa Pritchard..

[Maroubra Eel]
