This is brilliant in its irony.

How good is this! One of the feelgood stories of the year. I see some associated with other sports on social media are calling it a "riot". Everyone is just having fun. Great to see how the Lebanese community is so tied to the Bulldogs.

This is the English attitude and the majority of the problem. In the NRL you have a minimum spend unlike SL where being stingy and aiming for second worst is a genuine tactic.

It absolutely doesn't. Australia has 1/3rd the population and AFL is much, much bigger than you probably realise. One of the highest attended sports on earth. RL is not the national sport either. It's this attitude of "why try" when we're up against soccer that is a major problem too.

Rugby League in England is stuck in the 90s. Look at the social media output of the NRL compared to SL. It's night and day. The commercial aspect is infinitely better in the NRL. It has nothing to do with the rank of popularity of the game. Also P&R has seen a gradual degradation of quality. Why strive to win when you can just survive by being the second worst team in SL? Why pay for the best players when decent will do?

I like the look of their stuff but I don't want to buy from a ship that seems to support union too.

This has to be a first for the sport right? Amazing.

You'd hope whoever has overseen this at the IRL would fall on their sword.

I live in Stanthorpe and was in Goondi yesterday coaching. "Snow" is a bit generous. It doesn't reach the ground.

I live in the place in Qld where there is talk of snow. It comes around every year but has only happened once in my lifetime (2015).

Interestingly the BVOD audience has grown 10x in 5 years. The way people consume sports is changing rapidly.

There's not much to kill off tbh.

That makes it more of a head-scratcher.

This is a massive red flag. It proves that what they're doing with England hasn't worked and now they want to appeal to the nostalgia of a generation they really shouldn't be targeting. I'm nearly 40 and have no real memories of GB at all and I'd say if you're even targeting my age group as a sport you've got a massive problem.
