Rumours and Stuff

[Bandwagon]

once again, where are you getting this from ?

When I was a wee tacker my family moved from Melbourne to Brisbane, my brother who is a coupla years older and had been playing juniors in Melbourne had no trouble finding a comp to play in, this woulda been early to mid 70's.

From memory plenty of schools and parks had four posts at each end of the oval, the AFL didn't even exist back then.

Not a fan of calling them just the dolphins.
Needs to have a geographical reference.


Just stick with redcliffe seems to be the nrl want to go down the super rugby route by calling teams by names without attaching a geographical reference to them which is just as important to the name imo.

I wouldn't have a clue where those NZ and south africa teams come from in rugby.

I will always refer to us as Parra instead of eels.

I will say one thing though i never noticed this until today but are the NRL pushing out the geographical location off the teams logos.

I heard a rumour they told newcastle to remove the word newcastle off the logo a few years back.

So i looked and
Knights dont have newcastle in it.
Panthers dont have penrith in it.
Warriors dont have new Zealand in it.
Cowboys dont have North Queensland in it
Bulldogs dont have Canterbury in it.

I don't mind that. If the town wants to be referred to on the jersey let the council pay for it.
I would love us to drop the Parramatta from the badge and instead have it in big print where the main sponsors name is and collect a mill plus have a cleanish jersey.

What’s this about us signing Nick Cotric?

Plenty of talk online about it. Brent Read mentioned it too. I’m assuming the Dogs will be chipping in. They need to clear out a couple, surely.

They almost fainted when she pulled out her excel spreadsheet explaining the nuances of WPYSA18.

Confused the shit out of them when she started talking about middle halves and Joseph Paulo

Go back to the Tigers forum Rhyno.

better let him know there is a new forum to troll, just set up the Dolphins forum.

quiet a few people have all of Sivo, Opacic and Mahoney in the Dolphins team, this is in a thread in the NRL forum, not journos so no rumours, well not yet at least

I can see them wanting Mahoney but we'd appose that and he likes the Eels.

Rugby league will slowly die. Results is we are getting wealthier and more knowledgeable.
That's what will end it. People understand now concussions are concerning. And plenty of people won't let their kids play it based on more and more information on head knocks. Watch all the guys who played in the 80s and early 90s for bread and butter come out for compensation soon. I see a huge legal class action.
Ultimately I think this is what kills rugby league and nothing else.

That is an interesting one.
I agree that it is going to decline in popularity. Success in life is getting more and more dependent on the cerebral and less on the physical so you cant mess up your brain.
However, I think certain rule changes can make the game a lot safer.

The fact is they have taken the smaller men out of the game. So it become just a power game. Most clubs wouldn't even bother with a talent like Preston Campbell.

Sam Walker, Reece Walsh say hi

Jayden Campbell ffs. You couldn't have picked a worse example Hindy. The new rules have totally brought the small men back into the game.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Papenhouso, Luke Keary, Blayke Brailey, Jayden Sullivan, Daine Laurie, Sean O' Sullivan, Tom Starling.

Papenhouso, Luke Keary, Blayke Brailey, Jayden Sullivan, Daine Laurie, Sean O' Sullivan, Tom Starling.

Not good examples: Keary gets knocked out 3 times a game. Pap gets injured 3 times a game and the other guys are fringe players.

A good example is Reed Mahoney. It is a horrid ad for the game into the future that he makes 60 tackles a game. I know us meat heads get stiffies about that but the mums AND DADS are like "no thanks". And then he gets injured every second game and us meat heads are like "no fair!".

Please. I have listed 2 Clive Churchill medallists, 2 of the best young hookers and the Tigers no 1 fullback.

Boxing is still going strong even though they've been talking about banning it for years. MMA has risen as well over the past 30 odd years. I don't see any reason why Rugba Leeg will die. Perhaps playing numbers overall will drop, but interest won't wane IMO.

Why would anyone with cash to splash want Opacic? Handy backup but hardly going to set the world on fire.
