Got to love it, top of the table clash and neither team anywhere near the M62. Well done to both teams.

Once a month in Brisbane would be a 5pm ko until mid April when NSW change their clocks.

Cant do no wrong Walsh. Keeps getting picked…keeps costing the broncos points. A show pony who cant do the basics.

As I said previously I dont think any team can be blamed for Friday tea time crowds. Clearly all clubs suffer substantial hits when told to play at that time.

Just looking at Friday tea time games last season and comparing them with each teams season average Cronulla. 12,928. Season Av 14560 Bulldogs 7169 20848 Storm 16605. 22155 Dragons 13111. 15036 Manly 10215. 17333 Penrith 21825. 18873 Cowboys 15957. 19281 Canberra 9617. 16562 Titans 13287. 18064 Wests 17311. 15277 The averages are for all ‘home games’ so include any games played ‘home from home’ such as country games, games at Perth etc and Wests and Dragons games spread across different home venues. I have not included Warriors because the friday 6pm game is prime time (8pm) in Auckland. All apart from Penrith are well down on season averages apart from the Wests game which was the last game of the season that decided the wooden spoon (wests v eels).

Leighs second worst shirt of all time.

28,000+ at Dolphins v Storm

What a fantastic day of competitive rugby 13 games, 7 settled by one converted try or less and only one real blow out. Add to that the one pointer last night. Some impressive crowd figures as well. Congratulations to Goole on their first league win. Quite the weekend. The game appears to be in great shape on the field.

It was more the reasons stated for leaving that upset fans and teamates.

Or Manchester North v Manchester North West…think of the marketing opportunities…A Manchester Derby in RL.

More to the point dont leave your car in wavertree.

I agree….midlands are earning their success….good luck to you/them.

He has been dropped for this weekends game, and allegedly not popular among some of his team mates despite the fact that some of them left their previous clubs when more money was on the table.

How can you be doing this secretly when you have just told the 300,000 people who read this site

Helped by contrast with the worst kit ever…the penrith chocolate soldiers.

…and now a liberal party commitment to up that to $6m for redevelopment of stadium in Cairns…handy for The occasional PNG NRL game?

And at a time when the WA AFL teams are struggling results wise. The WCE couldnt beat an egg and their ‘one forthe ages’ top draft pick who they were building theit team around, is playing like he wants out.

The best intermission entertainment I have experienced was at the Detroit Pistons NBA game. It was a bit of a p*ss take on the NBA cheerleaders/danceteams. Everything at the pistons games is ‘auto themed’ and this was a bunch of very large african american blokes in skin tight vests and shorts and pom poms dancing under the name of “ The Spare Tyres”. It had 20,000 fans rolling in the aisles.

And none of those hated ticket fees….if only that could be extended to all games.

It was 59,708. There was a double header (Manly v Knights, Dragons v Eels)to open Stadium Australia ( the olympic stadium) which had over 104,000.

The bio details for Darcy seem to be taken from the Cornwall website when Darcy signed for them. However, although he appears to have been part of the Brisbane tigers (Queensland Cup) organisation he is not listed on the clubs all time player list. It appears that he played for the Carina Tigers in 2023, Brisbane Tigers farm team who play in the 7 team Brisbane rugby league, a tier below the Queensland Cup. He played 7 games for Carina in 2023 in second row and centres. There is a short video on you tube, looks like the sort of thing prepared by an agent, showing clips of him in games playing for Carina and for Cairns brothers in the Far North Queensland league where he played in 2022.

Yes, same with Hornets, regularly played Batley, Bramley, Dewsbury and Doncaster. Have to go back to 1950s to find them playing Leeds, Cas, wakefield, hunslet, featherstone or either Hull team.

Reynolds wont be leaving brisbane….even if he isnt signed to play. He will be part of Broncos organisation.

Anyone desrves a pass for a friday teatime game. They really are for Foxtel viewers only and that some teams get more of them than others seems a bit rough to me. In looking at crowds over the season perhaps worth comparing thursday night games with home teams other crowds at the same venue. Of course Id exclude Warriors from that.

Dragons was the Friday teatime game. Aside from when Warriors given that slot (which is prime time in NZ) they tend to select the lesser games of the weekend for that slot so double jeapordy.
