That's entertainment Folks!
I don't know why people keep referring to crowd attendance, viewership or participation numbers, sorry but your opinion doesn't really hold up against the facts - which are very easy to find. The suburbs behind rugby league’s record numbers staving off AFL (July 13, 2024) "Unbeknown to them...- Nike

That's entertainment Folks!
Mate I know this whole thread is tongue in cheek but Jobseeker is below the poverty line ($762.70 per fortnight). I see an awful lot of older people through my work who can't get a job because they're "too old" for any roles and too young for a pension. Subsequently these people are stuck in...- Nike

That's entertainment Folks!
Yeah you're technically right however, go watch a game from the 80's then a game from this weekend. Two completely different 'products' so you're on the money but the game they played back then is unwatchable now tbh.- Nike

[Resurrected] Is the NRL competition rigged?
It's rigged in the same vein as WWE in that it's ultimately sport entertainment. They generally keep the games close to maximise viewer engagement with advantageous calls at pivotal moments. The game survives on broadcast revenue which is funded by advertising and that requires eyeballs on...- Nike

Turbo back.. at centre
Lmao Tom just came up with this idea at home one day did he? If you have a browse of the walking billboard that is his Instagram you can see he'll promote anything for a bit of coin, I'm not knocking him for that but I think the NRL is right to be like wtf no.- Nike

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]
That's my point though, a hostile Belmore or Leichardt crowd isn't an apples and apples comparison to the atmosphere for finals games. No chance Bulldogs take a final to Belmore ($$$) so a packed Accor Dogs home game will be a lot closer to a finals environment and might give us something better...- Nike

Crichton
I actually agree however it's probably one of the more consistent areas of officiating. The only howler I can recall was a game at Brookie (Dragons?) in our favor when Talau clearly fumbled a goal line grubber and we scored a length of the field try off it while the Dragons didn't chase...- Nike

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]
Look I'm just a fan but I've been saying our defense has been rubbish since Dymock took over as assistant, we've looked good at times but inevitably get gassed and fade late. How many times have we seen Paseka or Sipley look absolutely gassed and not get subbed until a try is let in? Then they...- Nike

This season is where our team has to learn how to be a serious contender!!
I'm mad as hell and I ain't gonna take it anymore! I think it will be easier for us internet experts to name who will remain in next weeks team after this diabolical outing tonight! We should've never partnered with those conniving Castleford Tigers... Wests Tigers, coincidence? I'll leave it...- Nike

Pre-Game Tigers V Manly [Round 25, 2024]
Brooks will either have a belter or get tilted by the Leichardt faithful, no in-betweens. Didn't think much of this game until I took that into consideration, like many have mentioned we've got to be switched on come Thursday.- Nike

Turbo and Origin
Historically he has always aspired to play for NSW, often to the detriment of Manly. Does he need to call Madge first and rule himself out? He's not fit enough for first grade at the moment, let alone Origin.- Nike

Turbo back.. at centre
I like Tom but can we really afford to carry him at centre? I know he's underdone but can we really afford to keep a player who is a clear liability at the moment? Genuinely don't know where his career goes now if he can't finish the season and return for a full 2025. It's sad to say but if we...- Nike

The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD
Nah I somewhat agree on most of what you said. I just don't think Crowe had much to do with Bennett arriving at Souths, no dispute on what he has historically helped achieve for South. I also think News Corp investment and subsequent divestment from Betr is dodgy. Nothing personal I just talk...- Nike

The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD
Russell Crowe has SFA to do with Souths... wait that's being generous, he bullied Luke Keary out of Souths and straight into a premiership team. Matt Tripp? A News Corpse faceless man. You lot are genuinely stuck in the past, Manly aren't playing in a capless competition. Instead of crying...- Nike
