Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

Homebush was the correct decision, it's central to a large area of Western Sydney. Looking at the map Blacktown is very far out in north west direction and not as easy for fans to commute. Blacktown Giants sounds terrible and would not win any fans. Homebush ( and Canberra ) is the correct location ...

Re: Broncos to hit 60,000 members in 2024

Lion approaching 50000 members 2024 a terrific result. Broncos approaching 60000 members is a shocking performance for 's team in RL heartland. ( who until recently had no other RL club to compete with in a city of over 2 million ) Just goes to prove that RL is not the all conquering universally lov...

Re: Battle of the Gold Coast - Suns vs Titans

Great start for the Sun's and I agree that the attendance figures will only increase drawing a lot more local support. Sun's are much loved by local business owners as their home games fill restaurants, cafes, hotels motels and any other assortment of tourism ventures. I hope they can string quite a...

Re: afls zero round ridiculed by afl greats

I was a bit sceptical of this opening round concept thinking it may fall a bit flat. However excellent crowds have changed my mind. Nice to see a large turnout of local GWS fans at homebush. Gold coast also had a good crowd . Lions and Swans full house. Great way to grow the game whilst the NRL are ...

Re: Americans don’t give a rat’s ass about the NRL

NRL played in Vegas is irrelevant to the average American sports fan.
This exhibition game was only to provoke interest in the Australian media, a left of field attention seeker.

Re: The Dolphins ..2nd year blues or finals

Lions second most supported team in Brisbane, great achievement in RL heartland.

Re: Grand Final Entertainment

The AFL Grand Final entertainment featuring rock icons KISS is now seen as one of the best ever.
The overall production, performance and music makes for spectacular prelude to the Grand Final. It's gonna be a hard act to follow., nobody can top that.

Re: Grand Final Entertainment

I used to think the NRL did the pre gsme, half time entertainment so well but seems in recent years the AFL have lifted their game. Maybe the Meatloaf debacle led to this ? Robbie Williams last year was unbelievable and this year the afl have Kiss. I’m expecting they’ll perform to their usual best ...

Re: Poor Paddle pop wions

Poor old Broncos
They won't get all the attention they don't deserve.
A Rugby League team in a Rugby League state.
But !!!
The Lions will steal a lot of their thunder
Amazing , the AFL beats the ponies in a RL state.
Amazing.

Re: Is GWS a Canberra team or Western Sydney team?

GWS won thousands of New fans last night especially in Sydney and Canberra. The TV ratings all around Australia were phenomenal.
Problem with the Raiders is that they generally don't rate well outside the ACT.

Poor old Dolphins Dead in the water.

If RL is so dominant in Brisbane then why do you need the Dolphins...
