+x+x+x+xI read an article on SMH today about how VLandys and Abdo want to revisit their broadcast deal after the AFL scored the biggest deal to date.... I'm curious as to why this is such a big deal... Is it some sort of cock fighting between the codes? Who really cares if AFL deal is 20M more than NRL's? It's not like they robbed the NRL to pay AFL.... If anything, I would have preferred Foxtel had shaved 15M from each deal and kept the A-League rights instead of surrendering it to that rubbish Paramount+ service. NRL deal $400m a year for 5 years. AFL $643m a season for 7 years. Not so long ago PVL and Abdo were crowing about the good deal they got. Even allowing for the timing offset it looks like they were outsmated by 9, Fox and TV New Zealand. By the way the jewell in the crown, SOO, is included. Other than getting the football back on during covid, which everyone else did anyway, i can't think of anything positive this administration has done. AFL is worth $6.43 a season. I know, there is nothing to do in Melbourne. Lame excuse when there is a team playing real footy in town,. 😁 NRL possibly limited by not having WA and SA teams, not being popular in the NT and Tassie. I can remember back to the days of Humphries, incompetent admin at NRL level is practically a job requirement. Same for most clubs most of the time. A better approach is appoint a football person or group of people as NRL football managers and then have accounts, legal and marketing report to the football managers. Decisions need to be made in terms of what is good for the game. Get the product right, and the money will follow. Getting the product right means getting all development pathways, the fan experience at the game, the flow of the game and the officiating right. For the bunker, we already have captains challenges, give a team more challenges, but only go to the bunker on a challenge. Everything is what the ref ruled unless challenged. Bunker is never used for foul play, the refs ruling is final but the game is reviewed and players are charged if needed. The reason AFL can command the big dollars is the game is national. The NRLs lack of vision since before Super League and the game selling out to the TV networks has put he game back twenty years.
The game was building nicely. Moving into Perth. Eventually Adelaide would have worked. By now we probably would have had a national game plus New Zealand with two teams and the chance of a team in PNG/NT. But the fuckers fucked it. Tend to agree, although the expansion in mid 90s was just too rapid. The A-league did it more efficiently. Brought in Western United and then Macarthur the following year. Last year WU won the title and Macarthur also had a good season. You really want your new teams to do well and build a fanbase quickly along with crowds and merchandise so you don't have to prop them up for too long.

In fact 7 players in the Sunshine Coast Falcons Team this weekend are tied to the Storm. I am also concerned that country kids are being brought to NRL clubs to play in their junior leages at a young age weakening the game in the country It's worse in England with participants dropping from over 60,000 in 2016 to 45,000 most recently.

It’s why I find it strange to add another Qld team. If we want to increase participation we need to do this in Perth and New Zealand. Adding first grade teams to those areas should encourage more involvement in the lower grades. I would assume.

Redcliffe was already a RL stronghold so what is the long term strategy.

NRL knew they couldn't delay expansion so they granted it to a QLD or NSW team. The rest was the fact that they felt Dolphins had a strong financial standing and stand on their own 2 feet quicker than most other options. Again, just my thoughts. But seems logical.

WA's hard border didn't help any sporting teams or any sporting administration that was looking to move in there....

That is where the problem lies.. V'Landys cannot see as a game for the people, rather he sees NRL as a "product" owned by a corporation to make a profit for its stakeholders. Thus the reason behind the six again and other various rule alterations, to lure more punters to the spectacle giving it a greater selling appeal.

At the height of COVID the NSW/Qld border was hard, so no guarantees there. Surely the Commission cannot be so short sighted on a long term decision.

God I hate rugby....
I try to watch it, I try to understand it, but no....
I will never understand the rules or understand what I am watching.
They may as well call it lottery. Coz no one has any idea what the hell is going on and when the ref blows his whistle, its literally a lotteries to what the rule is....

And there's no offside on your winger when you kick cross field? Seems to me when you can't officiate in League, you have a job in Union....

Someone please explain to me what the hell am I watching....
Is a good game, a bad game, good referee, bad referee?
I have no idea...
All I know is, as bad as rugby league can get, it will never stoop this low....

I dont typically, but every once in a while I try to give it another go, only to be as bewildered as the previous time. Im curious though....So many people in attendance. Do they just support what is decided on the field by the ref? It seems very easy for the ref to decide possession and ultimately the result. It seems we whinge about rugby league refs deciding games, but one look at union and its all brought into perspective.

I love them all and I can see the flaws in all of them, but I still like them.

About 5 years ago I returned to NSW from a 10 year stint in WA. All the locals were perplexed when they asked me what I thought of AFL to which I replied "it's just like watching seagulls fighting over a chip"

I have had a great week.
Icing on the cake is a reserve grade win, but even more important Canberra dispatching Parra in style.
Something special about the Canberra side 2 props with styled long hair and a redhead on the bench.
Battle of the big boys might settle it, rip in boys.

AFL is what happens when you over complicate "force'm back kicking duels" to distract the teachers while kids have a quick smoke behind the weathershed (apparently).

On the Rugby, I rarely watch it, but I watched the last 20 mins.
The NRL show pony refs need to lift their game, the refs performance was a master class in attention seeking ridiculous decisions, all he needed was a bunker that took 10 minutes to review every decision and the game would have been a perfect advertisement for seagulls fighting over a chip.
One thing Rubgy has always done exceptionally well is confuse spectators with a myrid of obscure rules. Just equip the ref with a coin to toss and the game will flow.

Good to play, most sports, tried most things that don't involve a horse, a plane, or a motor. And water sking which did involve a motor was fun.
