Dizzys - on the website you have used as evidence of Robina's credentials for a football stadium I would argue that it is tenuous at best and just a persuasive piece of writing aiming to influence investors at worst! The Robina Town Centre development is certainly a good shopping centre and Varsity...

I disagree Crocodileman that using Carrara would be more advantageous, obvioulsy our opinions differ. http://www.goldcoastaustralia.com/103177.php Robina is centred around the 2.5 billion dollar Robina Town Centre, as well as the adjacent Varsity Lakes community and Bond University. This emerging de...

Although I feel this is all just a rushed response to the NRL from AFL HQ, at least they have put forward some sort of long-term plan. Beaussie, if Carrara ends up being the long-term venue for a Gold Coast NRL team, it would effectively shut out AFL for the foreseeable future. However, AFL aside I ...

2005 ARL State of Origin

Shaping up as an interesting first match this year I must say. New South Wales have opted for a lighter, yet more mobile pack of forwards. With Queensland picking their usual six monsters to lead the way up front, such a strategy could easily blow up in the Blues' faces. New South Wales do however h...

Now now KE, I am simply making it clear that the timing of these "errors" seem to be prohibiting members from having their achievments recognised. Although it may have already happened in some instances, members may be prohibited from defeating some of your All-Time high scores in future. ...

Fed Up

...with the arcade. I just scored a blistering and unbeatable 37 on The Guardian, only to be informed "Error - No Game Data Received" upon submitting my score. This annoying little message has a habbit of popping up when a member breaks an All-Time record. From memory, I believe Big Tommy,...

I believe the article in emphasising that in this particular Melbourne school, Rugby League is the prefered sport, or no. 1, not just the fact that they play Rugby League.

Actually, Queenslanders do not participate in City/Country Origin at all, just NSW players. Specifically, it's a match between the NSWRL (Sydney or "City") and the CRL (NSW Country Rugby League). Many NSW fans are divided over it's validity. Some like to suggest it is a genuine State of Or...

Well someone's got to stick up for League here don't they? :lol: A little research always comes in handy and I always prefer to research a topic or at least seek confirmation on it with others before making a statement. Beaussie, I think you will find that Rugby League beat the AFL in ratings on the...

The article states that the school is in Altona. I remember watching a Rugby League program a couple of years ago which featured the Altona Roosters Rugby League Club. Not sure if it was the Footy Show or Boots 'n' All. Anyway, this team was extremely talented and held many point scoring records at ...

Rugby League No. 1 football code in Melbourne school

Who would have thought? AFL Rules No More By KARL de KROO May 12, 2005 Aussie rules no longer rules at Melbourne's Bayside Secondary College in Altona. Bayside has become the first school in Victoria to adopt rugby league as its No. 1 football code. In a significant development for the sport in Vict...

Swans to have 6 captains?

I heard on the radio that the Sydney Swans coach has decided to appoint 6, yes 6, captains to be rotated in fortnightly periods for the remainder of the season. The only player who caught my ear was Adam Goodes. Is this true, and what are people's thoughts on this strategy? Does it have the potentia...

I remember back in 2003 that the Chief Executive Officer of the New Zealand Warriors, Eric Watson I believe, purchased a similar amount of tickets to give to New Zealand passport holders who resided in Sydney for a semi-final clash with Canberra at the SFS. I also remember that the exercise came und...
