Titans vs Suns

[NlolRL]

lol
They'll have no trouble doing this
This mob has no conscience
No integrity
They've had no trouble in the past rigging the comp.
Could never admit that tanking happened or was a disgrace that teams did not try .
They don't care how much the comp is compromised as long as they get the desired result .
Be it an expansion team is successful & expansion is seen as an enormous success.
Or outright lying about crowds to keep the success mantra going

They know that most of the cultists just nod & go along without question.
Lol we have one on here .

.they will prop the Suns up ..& I hope it costs them dearly in $$$$$ & more & more disillusioned fans .

The comp isnt really being compromised because the Suns cant keep their talent. If they were getting draft concessions and dominating it would be an issue, but they certainly are not

[AFLcrap1]

See this is why you fumblers are laughed at.
You have no comprehension of what a fair comp is .
Anytime a team gets extra on field benefits ..money or pick of best talent ..then that's compromising the comp .

There's no problems helping them off field ..
Facilities ...best coaching staff etc ...promotion .

For all RL faults we don't compromise the comp .
Everyteam has the same $$$ to spend on te salary cap
No team gets to pick the best young talent .

If your team wins the comp it's because they're the best team .
Not like AFL where the lions or swans won comps due to having EXTRA .

It's called a fair comp
Something you lot struggle to understand

It may be setup 'unfairly' to give them a chance at success, but that is not the result, clearly.

The AFL have rules where struggling clubs, irrespective of their location get assistance, which can include a priority draft pick. I dont have a problem with it. No one wants to see the same side down the bottom of the ladder year after year.

[AFLcrap1]

Irrespective of their location .

Ok what Melb or SA or WA teams got COLA .
Or now get the COLA under the new name of RETENTION ALLOWANCE .
None .

Jesus you are blind or plain dumb .

I never said they have the same rules, I said they have rules

Priority picks and financial assistance are available to every club. Expansion clubs were given further assistance to compensate for their obvious disadvantages of being non-heartland states

The greedy Victorian clubs - take the money and run, put your hand out for the extra TV broadcast rights millions and then object to plowing back money and concessions to spread the gospel according to NSW born and breed Tom Wills. ( and Harrison ) . Their is tremendous objection from Vic clubs in helping sick interstate clubs. Many Victorian clubs receive extra assistance and would fold without it.
Total extra financal assistance money spent to prop up a lot of Vic clubs totals more than money spent on expansion clubs. Figures not recent but give a fair idea of monies spent.
Some figures - GWS $ 21500000, St Kilda $ 18500000, Suns $ 17500000, North M $15000000.

The figures quoted above of $ 200 and $ 150 million are start up costs associated with each club not annual outgoings so stick with these clubs, rebadge and reinvent them if needed. One thing to do immediately is to ban Vic clubs from cherry picking promising Suns talent.
Mclachlan must step up to find solutions or step aside.

Great News for the Gold Coast Titans and the future of Rugby League on the Gold Coast.

The Rugby league Club has announced they will be building a Rugby Leagues Club
for the community and sport of rugby league on the Gold Coast.

This is Huge News and a massive investment for the game..

TITANS’ SECRET MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR LEAGUES CLUB PLAN
A MULTI-million dollar Gold Coast Titans leagues club will be built on city owned land in a bold deal to secure the NRL side’s financial future.

Gold Coast Titans owners, the Kelly and Frizelle families, have today delivered on the promise of the addition of a community asset that formed a large part of their proposal when purchasing the rugby league club.

As part of that proposal and central to the future of sustainability of the club was the establishment of an external business model, with the creation of the 'Titans, Oxenford Community Club'.

Following an in-depth and detailed analysis, researching the viability of a Titans licensed venue, a parcel of land, located in the northern corridor of the Gold Coast, at Oxenford and currently owned by the City of Gold Coast was identified.

Architectural plans, and designs for the 'Titans, Oxenford Community Club', have been produced for approval with the state of the art, 2,500 square metre facility to be positioned in an easily accessible and visible location within the 22,000 square metre site.

The designs submitted for approval make maximum use of the flood prone location whilst retaining a green corridor and the facility will see more than 80 jobs created in the local area. The club's owners are committed to building a community centre which provides a significant boost to the local area whilst also creating a host of exciting new opportunities and a place locals and visitors to the region can be proud of.

The Gold Coast Titans understand there may be some disruption to the Coomera Junior Cricket Club, while some school sport will also need to be relocated. The club is committed to working with local council to ensure positive outcomes are achieved for all parties.

The 'Titans, Oxenford Community Club' will be operated as a separate, not for profit entity, with a team of four Directors appointed to provide the best level of operational governance, it will share just one common Director with the Titans Rugby league Pty Ltd company, however operate using a joint mission statement.

Community has been at the heart of the Gold Coast Titans organisation since 2007, with the club committed to playing a key role across the Gold Coast and broader community through the implementation of initiatives and programs which are designed to connect, engage and make a difference to the lives of any individual or group we come into contact with. We are driven to have a positive impact on their lives.

Our people and programs continue to be recognised nationally across the broader sporting community along with the NRL with Titans players awarded the prestigious Ken Stephen medal for the most outstanding contribution to community on three separate occasions, more than any other NRL club.

Preston Campbell, Luke Douglas and most recently Ryan James the proud recipients of the codes most coveted community award.

The 'Titans, Oxenford Community Club' will provide a platform for the Gold Coast Titans to continue, enhance and expand the reach of the club's community programs, while also providing some financial relief to the football operations.

Gold Coast Titans are committed to the pursuit of excellence, the delivery of sustained success and the creation of a strong community asset.

[ParraEelsNRL]

The suns are still alive?

LOL, I thought they'd have dragged the wions down with them by now, must've raided the qld taxpayers coffers again huh?

*laughing.

[AFLcrap1]

Who will win the crowd battle this year on the GC ?

Will,the AFL very well funded .did I say very well funded THUNS get the crowds in ?
Or are the fans waiting for more $$$$$$ ..more this more that.
Maybe given some more of the best young unco stick insects to fumble & bumble their way around the field .
Or will the Titans who have been woeful the last few years win t battle
If they can play well (with no extra on field help like other certain rigged sports) then they should win .

Will be interesting

League finance 101
pokes and government funding

[AFLcrap1]

Lol back on the pokie rant .
Last time you were shown up as clueless about them .
Just like most things .NFI at all

& then you mention GOVT funding .
Oh dear l
Your parasitic code has leeched more GOVT money than any other .
You've been shown that in the past .
Several times .
You just ignore as usual .

[King-Eliagh]

I think the titans will win the crowd battle this year. The thums are in rapid decline, they’re dead in the water and the AFL exec don’t seem to have the foggiest to what they can do about it. Suns should start playing in Darwin and transition there by 2022 with a name change to ‘lightning’ or ‘cyclones’.

Does anyone have any of the thuns numbers when it comes to tv viewers on the GC or more broadly in qld? I get the feeling it’d be disastrously low

All you have to do is look at the nrlol club revenues and those Casio sized league clubs!

Nrl 101 demand for government funding have a ground built, built a Casio near it claim its for supporting the club and local rugby and demand for more money to up date facilities! Then blame every one else why the code is so pathetic

League has leaches off the governments and tax layers for decades with bearly putting a cent back!

WA get their first stadium in like nearly 90s years that is for the state and several codes to use and it has you loons in a fit having dumny fits demanding new stadiums to be built for those embarrassing low level of crowds!

League funding 101 tax payer, pokes and fudging numbers!

It’s a no wonder league appeals to the low end rabble of society!
