Televised games next season - has it been sorted yet?
Copa replied to Yorky's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
You’re going to start to live like fans in Australia with lots of TV games to view. It can really eat up the time. It is fun though! -
It’d be a shame if it became dominated by Australian suburban , regional and rural teams who destroy all before them.

What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

I’m really enjoying Americana Vol2 by JD Allen. It’s just really nice jazz. I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in jazz. -

Thanks! I now have 6 more records ordered and in the post. I couldn’t help myself. Audio Technica seems to be the easiest to find brand of record player in stores in Canberra. We do have one high end Hi-Fi store but I’m yet to pay it a visit. I suspect all the other brands you mentioned are easily available in Sydney or Melbourne and can be delivered but I want to actually see my first purchase in the shop. -

Someone bought me a record for Xmas… I haven’t had a record player for 35 years! I’m now on the lookout for one to bring back the past. -
I’ve used the Radio Garden app for a few years now. I listen to radio stations from all over the planet. It’s great!!

I was given a green bucket hat … because it’s green and I like the Canberra Raiders.

So far so good . 26 degrees Celsius, blue sky, cold cider and sitting on the end of a jetty with a fishing rod.

This is all starting to look quite impressive. Link ups with UFC, nascar, a 9s tournament, a talent search etc. It all means nothing though if, after a few years, it fails to create an ongoing income stream.

Possibly the ex RL players that are now fighters? I’m just guessing here.

I look forward to the rugby league expansion

Mark Nawaqanitawase to Sydney Roosters

ARU pay overs for Joseph Suaalii from the Roosters. Roosters just buy an ARU golden child in return. -
SKY new TV deal with Football
Copa replied to Harry Stottle's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
If you are a minor sport you can attach yourself to the giant. If the giant gets even bigger you can potentially grab more viewers too. -
The UK may use different terminology however in Australia South Sea Islanders are generally the Australian based descendants of Pacific Islanders who were tricked or kidnapped to work in Queensland sugar cane fields. In the US it’s most likely Pacific Islander immigrant communities.

That’s great!

NZ II Expansion Confirmed in Auckland

Very funny https://www.betootaadvocate.com/sports/average-aussie-soccer-fan-just-noticed-the-a-league-season-started-a-month-ago/?fbclid=IwAR3vztcC3vG3QNf5TY8JO-WMXuzBv1Ef-taLYtm3Pf5yIkVTXO_HgL0T24w_aem_AacotqcfKGO-JV6MCpe1H_kX5rq18alx7L_0KBTM3QeZB8x007x4WZHfFPcR3r21dTc -
I hope Kayo in Australia picks up every SL game too

NZ II Expansion Confirmed in Auckland
Copa replied to Sports Prophet's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I had no idea it was on until I read your post, and I read the media every day. I now see they’re adding a second division! That’s brave for a cash strapped sport in a country with no P&R sporting culture. The travel costs for the second division clubs will be quite a financial hit. -
NRL Salary Cap Exemption for Rival Code Signings
Copa replied to Damien's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
A currently famous English rugby union player is also not a big name in the minds of nrl fans. I doubt many even know of many current wallaby’s players let alone any from England. If the nrl grabs any, it will be for playing potential, not for headlines. -
Strong rumours NRL #18 team will be PNG
Copa replied to Bamboozle's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
PNG has a sizeable trekking tourism industry. Lots of Australians go there to trek PNG’s famous trails. It’s a well protected cocoon that the international travelers are kept in from arrival at the airport to the return to the airport. This is one example https://trekkokoda.com.au/safety-on-the-kokoda-track/ I imagine that if a similar set up was provided for any international visitors wanting to watch an NRL match they’d also have no problems. -
I don’t know what your budget is but this store in Australia have a great range of Australian retro gear: https://peterwynnscore.com.au/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAmNeqBhD4ARIsADsYfTfGmDc0QXx-z2vVFhr5iVvAk4uwfXUY-HspxRsS3qQNmuET66CIpdEaAjDPEALw_wcB A great Newtown Jets retro jersey https://www.newtownjetsclothing.com.au/product/retro-jersey/ https://www.newtownjetsclothing.com.au/product/authentic-bluebag-jersey/

NRL Salary Cap Exemption for Rival Code Signings
Copa replied to Damien's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
It’s like some cheesy internet advertisement: “With this one trick, the NRL can boost rugby union wage demands!”
