  1. Whoever “fills his shoes” …and they are difficult shoes to fill, will have Mark aston looking over his shoulder.
  2. Always amused about talk of NRL expansion to other countries when they havent got teams in half the Australian states yet. Lets focus on putting the N in NRL. Cricket and basketball have all the states covered, football and AFL cover 5 states with AFL to expand to Tasmania soon. Bringing up the rear is the three state NRL.
  3. Has their been an older half back pairing than this one? Broncos season went belly up after Reynolds injury in the roosters game last season. record was 5-3 before that game and 5-10 after it.
  4. I make it 9 blank weekends in the fixture list, 4 in the first 8 weeks of the season. There is no need for byes this season with an even number of teams so why all the blanks? I don't think it helps maintain the interest of fans. I suppose some of these are to accommodate the 1895 cup but unlikely league 1 teams will progress far in that. 7 of first nine at home….to accommodate pitch maintenance at end of dales season no doubt. Goolies game is on Saturday afternoon. Not sure why but could be a nuisance for those who have other commitments for Saturdays. Of for the days of H, A, H, A.
  5. Thats one way of ensuring somebody in yorkshire wins something
  6. Wont make up for missing out on a weekend in Rochdale.
  7. Ignore him Goolies….he is devastated that he is missing his favourite road trip next season.
  8. Dave Elliot who coached Norths Devils to Q Cup title and Queenslands first interstate title for many years has left the club. What a reward for one of the great seasons in the clubs history. Former coach Rohan Smith appointed as new head coach after his brief sojourn at Headingly. What does a coach have to do to keep his job?
  9. Rohan Smith reappointed as Norths Devils coach.
  10. The top two tiers have some gaps in corners that could fit in more seats but not to an extent that would take it to 60,000 or so. All the focus now for new stadia is increasing corporate suites.
  11. There is a bus service runs on a busway direct from CBD that takes around 20 minutes. There is very limited parking in and around the stadium. Train journey still involves an additional 15-20 minute shuttle bus. These limitations on public transport access are a major reason for opposition to it being used as the olympic stadium.
  12. Indeed they did…a long trek out of the city and the need for binoculars to see the game. It was a step up from the old lang park in terms of capacity and facilities but once lang park was completely rebuilt and expanded broncos soon returned to their spiritual home. I saw them hammer parramatta there back in 1996. Involved a train ride and shuttle bus. Felt like I was half way to Gold Coast. There is now and indoor stadium on site as well…nissan arena, built for netball for the 2018 commonwealth games. The Brisbane bullets NBL team played their for several seasons but it only holds about 5000 so they have moved out to the entertainment centre at Boondall this year leaving just netball at Nissan. Another much larger indoor area is planned for downtown brisbane for the 2032 olympics.
  13. Gruiqualand west in the currie cup have butchers stripes but turquoise and white. An impressive strip like Fevs butchers stripes.
  14. Nice try….but AFL schedule came out prior to NRL schedule and West Coast eagles have a bye that weekend. Freo are at home but on Thursday evening.
  15. Eric Clay Fred Lindop Barry Gomersall
  16. 2025 NRL draw announced for-those thinking of a trip down under.
  17. Broncos sell outs tend to be friday nights and recent magic rounds have been sell outs anyway. Interesting though, the season draw has broncos playing only 4 friday night home games. Maybe they are not the draw that they used to be and channel 9 is looking elsewhere.
  18. Broncos moved from their traditional friday night game to a 4pm Sunday game v panthers. While it isnt a direct clash, the AFL queensland derby (Q clash, lions v suns) is being played that evening at the Gabba. Friday prime time slot given to dolphins v roosters. other games Friday sharks v eels 6pm Saturday rabbits v knights 3pm warriors v cowboys 5.30pm tigers v dragons 8pm Sunday Titans v bulldogs 1.45pm and storm v raiders 6.45pm Surprised that possibly the least glamorous match up, tigers v dragons, given saturday prime time slot.
  19. Didnt he score 4 tries in a test v NZ…..I suppose that was four moments.
  20. Also done that trifecta Billy. in addition: rugby league, rugby union and football at the old sydney football stadium same trifecta at suncorp rugby league, afl and cricket at the gabba rugby league, rugby union and cricket and the new perth stadium rugby league, rugby union, afl at Sydney Olympic Stadium rugby league, baseball and football at the old parramatta stadium rugby league cricket and rugby union at north sydney oval rugby league and athletics at lamport stadium toronto
  21. Have you been boo-zing Billy?
  22. Yup…my first ever Rochdale Hornets away game….mid sixties….I think it was Good Friday ( well not that good…hornets lost).
  23. Absolutely hideous. who gets to decide these things and how long have they been on the NHS waiting list for cataract surgery.
  24. Very sad to read this. I have many happy memories of watching Garry at his best playing for GB. All the best Garry, a rugby league great, a character as well. The game needs more Garry Schofields.
  25. Why do HKR keep getting the red stripe the wrong way. Mind you having it this way might have made roger the dodger look a bit taller.
