The whole problem, Frank, is that they've changed the jersey. Maybe this opens up the challenge of special round jerseys. Do we really need any of them? I can remember Anzac Day without having to have my team wear a jersey. I can abhor violence against women without the jersey. Ditto for...- Real Deal

How would you rate what is worse? Homophobia? Yes, a big issue. Gambling? Massive issue. Alcohol abuse? Surely that is the biggest issue. Massive problem in many communities, particularly some remote communities.- Real Deal

I know you feel strongly about the issue, BE, but that is deeply unfair. I know that happens (I often chat to a lady who that has happened to) but noone is force to boycott anyone. You don't know them and their families.- Real Deal

Its easy to say that Mick, but drinking is not considered a sin - so we can knock that one out. The WWOS reporter who said that simply pulled that distraction squirrel out of nowhere. Gambling? Agreed, a much bigger issue, but not the same as the foundational issue of men, women and sex outside...- Real Deal

Fair call, I won't buy the Pointsbet home jersey for that reason. They are not entirely equivalent things for Christians. Gambling can and does cause harm for families. But Christians would say that the roles of men and women and how they relate in a sexual way would be be foundational to them...- Real Deal

Why not just wear a jersey to support your team? I actually go to sport to switch off from a lot of controversies that overwhelm much of my life. I have plenty of time to support causes that are dear to my heart. But this ESG stuff that corporates decide we should support is too much. League...- Real Deal

I just want a maroon jersey with white hoops and a badge. With no sponsors. Is that too much to ask?- Real Deal

Other Games [Round 19, 2022]
Referees are obviously in the employ of the NRL. They are affected by home crowds. Years ago in 2009 iirc we were playing the Storm possibly in Melbourne. Michael Bani or Robbo was on the wing and made a break down the sideline and cut in. Two Melbourne defenders grabbed him, lifted him and...- Real Deal

A question, without notice
How about sticking one of those tyre balancers on the side of the ball to make it harder to get direction. It would be fun to see a synthetic ball wobble around like an old leather ball.- Real Deal

I don't want to bother anyone here who likes the odd punt or puts a few bucks in the pokies. However this sort of crap stinks of bookies and money changing hands. Vlandys runs racing, he runs rugby league. I am not suggesting illegality at all, simply overreach. His influence stretches further...- Real Deal

There needs to be long sentences and lots of commas. Peter FitzSimons weekend columns and Father's Day books offer an acceptable style guide for most posters.- Real Deal

Trigger warning: most offensive thing I've seen
"He changed his name by deed poll from ‘Short’. He chose ‘Grew’ over ‘Tall’ because he had some East Asian ancestry." Alf moved on to bigger and better things in the 1980s. His television show was marvellous. Well deserved honour.- Real Deal

Interestingly I was going to post a pic of the original so googled "manly 1995 jersey" and this came up... I'm sorry but that little number doesn't feel right on my hips. My backside would look too big.- Real Deal

I actually ordered one. No other reason except that Pepsi isn't a gambling sponsor. Love the hoops but unless they release a plain one, I'm not getting it.- Real Deal
