First game next season

[Kiwi Eagle]

Kent mentioned on 360 that Manly are likely to be one of the teams involved in the USA game the NRL are trying to put together to open next season

For those not up to speed, the idea is that one week before the season kicks off, there will be a premiership game played somewhere in the US, and those teams won't play round one to give them a week to get over the travel coming back. Initial talks from the NRL was that they would call it round zero, before it was pointed out what a poor move that would be ...

Potentially Manly v Souths, marketed to the American people as Hugh Jackman v Russell Crowe

Greenturd said it's 2 weeks prior to season start to give the players the travel time.

Manly v Souths is the most likely as other Teams can't move home games

Are we in fact sure we’ll have a club in 2019??

Hopefully we do
In same way or another , let’s just not like the northern eagles days
They were tough times and the club was able to bounce back
It may look grim at the moment but you never know what’s on the horizon
Gotta keep the faith

Can't be any worse than this season can it... New coach - fresh start. Hopefully not a rookie.

No need to worry, Jerry... Cartwright is no rookie

Can you think of any other teams with high profile supporters who are also big movie stars in Hollywood ?

As much as I'm all for growing the game, it still amuses me to hear talk of playing nrl games in the states while every week nrl games are run in 80,000 seat stadiums with 6000 fans showing up..

Maybe they should put some effort into building the popularity of the game in its own country first ay..

(and I realise TV viewership is up Bla Bla Bla, if that's all that matters, maybe a field should be built in a movie studio so they can fake a packed crowd on the blue screen, because watching matches played in empty stadiums is an absolute embarrassment)

Heard Pamela Anderson is a Tits fan.

We could be the curtain raiser for the Lingerie Football League, and hope enough bored and desperate viewers with time to kill may switch on early?

Hugh Jackman is a bigger myth than Lyall Gorman to Manly
