Womens rugby league going strength to strength

I actually think the PNG team will be a success. (and who cares if not many australians or kiwis dont play for PNG) the academies pathways and grassroots coming through will be HUGE for PNG they have the ability to be the biggest NRL CLUB and i think the NRL should of asked for more than $600 millio...

Im loving the NRL figures they are just dominating massively

FOX will be paying up (get ready for that FOX subscription to RISE)
especially with these numbers produced year on year>> like last year was not big

looking like another cracking ORIGIN SERIES>

3 Sell outs standard (viewership) sky is the limit

I really cant wait to ORIGIN HAS ITS OWN AIR TIME OVER 3 WEEKS
It could be even BIGGER THAN IT IS

Rebels Lost is Melbourne Storms Gain.

Have you got a link? Suncorp Stadium for Olympics...

the AFL would rather LOSE 30million a year than pull the Giants..

What a club they will be in the future.

broncos have only gotten bigger too
