That's entertainment Folks!
There's many deep thinkers inside NRL who on the kool aid have concluded speed of game and points is evidence of entertainment value. Which is rubbish, as cricket & NFL prove, as does soccer, as did rugby league itself before the late 1980s. There's many inside NRL and tv networks who suffer...- Once Was Brissie Kid

Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing
Brooks proved himself a great addition last night. He's on report for a lifting tackle. I'm worried he may miss out on playing finals footy.- Once Was Brissie Kid

If we lose tonight.
Manly beat Dogs tonight, can still get a home final. Current table 5. Dogs 34 +146 6. Cows 34 +51 7. Manly 31 +121 Dogs and Cows play each other Sat next week to decide 5th place. The loser will be stuck on 34 points and be behind Manly on 35 points if they win both games vs Dogs and Sharks...- Once Was Brissie Kid

If we lose tonight.
If Manly lose tonight and again next week, could finish in 8th spot and not go to Townsville. This would be if Dragons win both of their 2 games vs Eels and Raiders. Would leave Dogs vs Manly again in the 5th vs 8th game. If Manly lose tonight, Manly could before kickoff at 4pm next Sunday week...- Once Was Brissie Kid

Juniors Discussion Thread
Not really clear how much North Sydney juniors will be in the Western Bears or how much of a partnership it is. Doesn't seem as much as a 50/50 thing. There are no Western Bears board members spaces allocated to Norths. Could end up like Illawarra's socks. Also sounds like the WA owners looking...- Once Was Brissie Kid

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]
Talk of a 40K crowd seems way over for a 6pm Friday game. But if it is, would go close to the biggest ever Manly vs Canterbury crowd. 41,127 crowd - 1995 Grand Final at SFS 36,420 crowd - 2012 Final at SFS - 31,381 crowd - 1976 Final at SCG I think the biggest regular season game was...- Once Was Brissie Kid

Now that the Bears have left their area vacant and are finally exiled to play home games in the Perth colony, it is time for Manly NRL to engage with all of the junior clubs and comps north of the Harbour and Parramatta River so they merge with Manly Juniors into one massive Sea Eagles nursery...- Once Was Brissie Kid

The NRL is failing it's fans
The sin bin for 40 years was for deliberate or repeated infringements of the rules. Accidental or careless or deliberate high tackles were never a sin bin. If it was really bad it was a send off. Sent off players and other players were dealt with after the game by citings, suspensions or...- Once Was Brissie Kid

The NRL is failing it's fans
The job of the referees should be to apply the rules, not to decide the rules. The NRL need to get some rugby league sanity back into the game by putting the referees, bunker, match review & judiciary all under a person or three-person panel who know rugby league, such as trusted and respected...- Once Was Brissie Kid

It was the NRL (well, the NSWRL) who've caused this field goal blockers rubbish. Back under the 5m rule days, it wasn't just the defence who had to be back 5m from the play the ball, it was the attacking team too. But they knew best and got of rid of it.- Once Was Brissie Kid
