GWS almost and GC out drawing the Storm

Good start by those expansion teams vs last years NRL grand final runner up
the difference is, Suns were outdrawn by the CATS fans :lol:
and Hawks were not to far behind

I wasn’t there - as overseas/ but is this true / I mean factually ?

Re: NRL’s Vegas round and the ‘miserable’ US TV ratings

I think a great job has been done on Las Vegas - but it is at the end of its run - maybe another year I think them will stop.

Still think most ex pats in Seq would have Foxtel so they can watch their team every week.

Re: Rugby union is rising in the US. That’s bad news for the NRL​

I think Union is closer to Aussie rules in that it is flowing game - that’s my opinion anyway and can watch Union more so than nrl as find it more interesting and something going on all the time - ball is always in play and none of the 6 tackles thing - so as an Aussie rules fan Union appeals more ...

Re: Fox Sports dumps free to air NRL Las Vegas coverage

Watched an interesting show in Vegas -basically saying yes, it is empty - but they don't care (it is down on tourism numbers quite a bit). The gist was that the hotels on the strip are stinging people for every little thing - things mentions was $70 if you open your bar fridge - regardless of having ...

Re: AFL & NRL Membership Tally - 2026

I think the distinction is that if you buy a membership to an AFL club it is because you support the club, want to go to a few games - whereas joining a Leagues club could be for multiple reasons and nothing to do with supporting the club. That's my thinking anyway looking from the outside. I'm sure ...

Re: State of Origin

Yeah - I like the idea of a carnival type situation - all states could field a team - you could have 2 levels - with relegation and promotion for the following year maybe. Tassie, Northern Territory, NSW, QLD in one league - and Vic, SA, and WA in another - don't think you'd have enough for Canberra ...

Re: AFL & NRL Footy TV Ratings - 2026

Yeah - have to agree with Terry and Leroy here. I think it can work as an exhibition match though for the AFL as that's all they have. Think pre season it right spot - but injuries piss me off.

Re: TV RIGHTS KICK OFF






there is no evidence that the AFL took less to have games played in northern markets on main channel.
in fact tv deals sky rocked..
it was a deal what the AFL wanted and the network that bought the deal had to do it within its means.

Why would you pay top dollar for something and show it ...

Re: TV RIGHTS KICK OFF



AFL negotiated, and take/took less to have local teams in northern states broadcast live but I believe this allowed for secondary channel to be used - there has been an increasing number of games being shown live on the main channel - particularly last year, up here in South East Queensland I ...

Re: State of Origin



Watched a little when got home - the standard was pretty good I thought - good seeing Gawn, to Daicis, Dangerfield etc. But was an exhibition match that’s all - no real passion or strong vibes re: win at all costs type thing.


This is a pretty silly thing to say IMO. You could clearly hear the ...
