Gold Coast played very well….Freo…well it will be a challenge.
Poor crowd considering.

Gold Coast could pick 5 locals this draft….but will need to delist a few to fit them in.

Membership should count as a ratio of games bought.
1/2 season games bought= 1/2 membership.
3 games bought = 1/7 membership.

Friday nights game very disappointing..overseas at the moment so did not see it.
They do tend to fall apart at the latter part of the season…here’s hoping for next Wednesdays gaI have managed to find a bar that is broadcasting it.

Yeah- there are plenty of players from NSW and QLD - always been some but has grown significantly past 20 years - with more born and breed players. Just look at Suns - they has a massive "go home" factor - so started bringing through locals through the academies - having done that they have ...

If I recall correctly, this was originally an ABC forum that they shut down and Beaussie set up to replace?

Put a roof on it!!



lol - still constant rain. 21000 I think so a good crowd. Suns should (should) make the final now. The only game that wouldn’t be a surprise to lose would be against the ...

Well, it’s official — the NRL has confirmed its 18th team will be based in Perth, with the rebranded Perth Bears (via a North Sydney partnership) entering the comp in 2027.

After years of lobbying, the WA government and ARLC have struck a $50m deal to bring NRL footy back west. Rugby league ...
