Send in Baysarri to end the olympic dream on behalf of both codes

But what if the IOC is backed by a pack of teenage girls?

Has this IOC guy been informed about the Penrith Panthers

Wally Lewis, Pat Rafter, Sam Stosur, As Barry, Anna Meares and Johnathan Thurston have to be at the Opening Ceremony to light the Olympic flame. No fumbleballers can do it as they'll drop the torch.

Is As Barry supposed to be Ash Barty ?
Also add Wendy Turnbull to that list to be at the lighting of the flame.

Auto correct changed it to As Barry.

So Brisbane have won the rights to host the Olympic Games in 2032. The dates for those games are 'tentatively' set for July 23 to August 8. With that timeframe, it obviously falls during the NRL season.

Back in Sydney 2000, the event was held post season from September 15 to October 1. In that year, the NRL began its season a month early.

When the Brisbane Olympics are underway, Suncorp, Townsville, CBus, Sunshine Coast and even Barlow Park in Cairns would be all unavailable. So where will the Broncos, Titans, Cowboys, (Brisbane II) play?

Would the NRL have those sides drawn to play away from home during the Olympics?
Would the NRL shut down the comp for a few weeks?
Or a possible new boutique stadium in Brisbane (cap 20000) to accommodate a second team in the city?

Thoughts...

Where the other people with two heads live.

They’ll play in Tasmania.

July 23 - Aug 8??

I thought Brisbane won the hosting of the summer games, not winter games.

I don’t think league will be inconvenienced. The Olympics isn’t the big deal it once was with the global economy the way it is, hence a country town like Brissey winning the bid.

Wasn’t Brisbane the only city bidding for the games?

 

[Jamberoo]

Wasn’t Brisbane the only city bidding for the games?

No, but when Brisbane was announced as the preferred bidder six months ago, the others dropped out.

 

[Jamberoo]

They won’t run NRL or AFL against the Olympics - broadcaster. Just have SOO 2 the Wed before the games and SOO 3 the Wed after. No bye rounds during the season and it only goes a fortnight longer than normal.

It was a one horse race, yes.

Geez not even the Greeks werent for it....lol

I didn't know that.
Classic, the Olympics has f**k all relevance these days. It's like PVL ran it for the last 12 years and it's finally dying out.

Nah it's not that it just cost so much for the bidding country. What the Olympic comm needs to do is actually have one country hold it every 4 years..

Apart from the opening and closing ceremonies, what do people watch? Mens 100m? Me personally, unless I have a ball tucked under my arm, I don’t get the point of running.

I enjoyed the archery and kayaking in London. I always try to find a new event or two I wouldn't normally watch. Variety is the spice of life

There was no rival bids as the IOC has changed its bidding process. They no longer have a rival bidding process, that led to so much wasted money and corruption, and instead have early "negotiations' with interested cities then pick a preferred one who they work with before deciding if it is able to have hosting rights.

when you say that, to who? Its still the pinnacle for the athletes, it rates a massive global audience, gets massive global media coverage, it gets large crowds to main events. How do you measure its relevance??

Don't need to worry as Rugby League will be dead in Qld after NSW win 3 origin series in a row.

You would if a lion was chasing you.
But then again if you were with someone else you only have to run faster than them.

They have skateboarding at the Olympics now. And grown men who ride bmxs.
