In Sydney?

In the same continent, but almost as far away from Sydney as a city in the same continent could be.

Some really great things happening in Melbourne. Obviously we have just had a crowd of 90,084 for SOO game 2 in Melbourne. Then this around the Storm: Origin returns to Melbourne on Wednesday nig

Attracting fans of other sports can vastly expand the RL fanbase. I reckon most Storm fans also have an AFL club. We want more of them. Wouldn't you like to see 30k NRL/AFL fans regularly filling AAMI

Heaps.

Both main broadsheets and other papers running articles and sports magazines all over it. 

To quote one of them " Will union bosses be watching? Yes, but through fingers over eyes

 

It was mentioned, nothing more.

He will likely struggle to make first grade, NRL players are fitter, faster and more skilled than most Union players.

Says the man picking fault with someone daring to question his beloved NRL. How dare I have an opinion on something on a forum ha ha. Such a bizarre thing to get so upset about.

I do not have the NRL on a Pedestal.

In fact I find it hard to watch with the Bunker debacles and strange decisions.

I just choose not to watch it as much as I cannot change how it is.

In your case you revel in criticising the NRL.

Maybe you should not watch it as it works you up into a confused rage that cannot be healthy for you.

 

Have a great day.

He will be a star.

I thought he had a good game 

He did.  A few positional issues in defense but you would expect that after just 3 or 4 NSW Cup games.  But he is big, fast and athletic... he will be a very good player.

Another super high scoring round in the NRL.  After 5 games the average points is 62 with no game less than 50 and the Tigers Eels game delivering 86 points (26 - 60).

Why does this bother you?

It’s the end of the season with some Clubs that have nothing to lose or gain and are throwing the ball around like touch football.

I prefer Rugby League when it is more attritional and teams need to work hard to score points.  We have created a version of the sport where the attack is given all the advantages.  I don't like it as much.

No he won’t.

Club man at best.

Well, time will tell but for me he looks to have all the attributes of a top class outside back.

Which part of his game do you think is lacking?

If both teams are attacking who wins?

There have not been many Union converts in recent times.

I do not see anything in him that is not already available through the Junior development systems already in th NRL.

I think I know this one.  Is it the team who scores the most points?
