[Mark from Brisbane]

Fancy that, another Donkeys 8pm Friday night game!

Who'd of thought.

 

[Fluffy]

Everybody

 

[The Who]

There are three matches at ANZ Stadium this week.
I'm wagering that there will be 210,000 empty seats for these matches.

What a folly it is!

 

[HappilyManly]

OK Titans, Manly believe in you to skin those Eels

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Tonight's match is so boring I reckon heaps of people will forget to put in this week's tips on time!

 

[niccipops]

That's enough empty seats to fill a stadium.

The next step could be using CGI virtual crowds. This could boost viewing entertainment by having Jurassic World type dinosaurs eating ugly people in the crowd.
Themes could match team colours even. There could be competitions for television viewers, like "Where's Yoda?", at Canberra matches.
I think I'll contact the NRL today. This could be my big break.😛

I might have it on in the background in the hope that maybe the Titans can spring an upset. I don't care who wins but I'd love the Eels to lose.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I've been banging on for years about CGI crowds and you all laugh at me.

But fair dinkum, I know a guy in the broadcast industry and he reckons that's not implausible.

They already insert all the advertising on the playing pitch so adding crowds to empty stadiums isn't out of the question.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Actually I should mention that he's actually in the horse racing broadcast area, and has stated that eventually they see a stand alone racecourse , permanent TV set up, no crowds, multiple tracks , some just straight and races going off every 2-3 minutes.

After all, that sport is almost all about betting anyway.

 

[HappilyManly]

Rabbitohs Sam Burgess ruled out of #NRLSouthsWarriors

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

I'd give my left one for a Titans upset tonight...

To be fair you have come across as a bit leftist on occasions.....

and at the end of this rabbit hole, there will be 2 or 3 'entities' with 100% betting 'winning streaks' extending for years.....
why not it's already happening in finance, just a matter of dumbing things down to sport, ahem I mean entertainment

 

[Deleted member 26876]

If i was religious id be praying that the Titans further prove the eels are histories greatest pretenders by utterly annihilating them tonight although they'll likely play like ****, somehow get thumped again and keep the irrational eels hype rolling on until they get demolished by the donkeys next week

 

[HoldenV8]

Interesting.....this is the 3rd time since Hayne signed with the Tits that they have played doesn't-matta.

Its the 3rd time he has missed the game.....

 

[HoldenV8]

 

[Harvies elbow]

Something about the atmosphere of this game reminds me of some Amco cup game between say Northern Rivers and.........
Parramatta.
None.

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Hayne "injured" again...........!

Anyone else notice how portly he has got around the mid section since he came back to NRL

Compare that to his physique when he can back from the NFL............probably tells you everything you need to know about his attitude and commitment!!

 

[dowdz]

Anyone else think that was a bs penalty?
