    Getting rid of the Gabba cricket pitch

    I agree that the Pitch should be left there - its part of what makes the Gabba. As for sueing the State Government would that really suceed? why has no-one tried it before? More Importantly the Pitch meets the Standards set by the AFL! So obviously the AFL who governs the game has no...

    Expansion State of Origin series rigged?

    All is forgiven :p Just as long as you remember that the game in Long Beach, California was an Exhibition Game and DOES NOT COUNT!

    Bugger! turns out we have not been doing enough! We need more Global Warming people! apparently the Sun has been a bit lazy and an ice age is coming! lol - that would be pretty funnny - Global Warming saves humanity from Ice Age! 'Forget global warming, prepare for Ice Age'...

    Expansion State of Origin series rigged?

    You mean like the 2000 Series or the NSW Domination of the early 90's? The overall closeness is even reflected in the overall scoring closeness where the points scored by both teams is only different by a couple of points - which strikes me as pretty hard to rig

    Expansion Oops! Its a New Stadium or the Gabba for GC17

    There is a difference. Remember Land Park was part of a general redevelopment of Brisbane's sporting grounds - The main part of the Gabba redevlopment had being done only a few years before and everyone saw the need for a new Rugby stadium as well if Brisbane was to continue to get major...

    Expansion Oops! Its a New Stadium or the Gabba for GC17

    The new Stadium in Brisbane had to be done - Land Park was too old and small while QEII while larger was also old and not the place to watch Rugby. Everyone agreed a new Stadium had to be built - it was more a matter of when and where. I remember the other option was at the Showgrounds for...

    Expansion Oops! Its a New Stadium or the Gabba for GC17

    I think it was more that the State Government had rebuilt Lang Park and suddnely realised they might not have a team there to play (obviously the Broncos would be the Major tennant) as the Broncos still had a QEII contract. QEII had become a bit of a white elephant with not major events after...

    Expansion Oops! Its a New Stadium or the Gabba for GC17

    Its all well and good to talk about calling Blighs bluff, but what is the real fallback for the AFL? Plays its games at the Gabba or no GC team till 2015? In the end niether will phase Bligh that much - even though its an election year in Queensland it wont become a major issue and more to the...

    Expansion Oops! Its a New Stadium or the Gabba for GC17

    I think an Interesting side issue is going to be that of the Gabba Pitch! The Lions have been complaining about it for years and are trying to push for a drop in pitch for the Gabba while at the same time the AFL trys to get out of its contract there. For all the talk of "both" cricket and...

    Expansion Oops! Its a New Stadium or the Gabba for GC17

    Looks like the AFL failed to kick any goals with the Queensland State Government. Premier Bligh has come out and said that they would only 'consider' looking at the arrangements IF the AFL agreed to 100% fund a new Stadium. "If the AFL were to 100 per cent fund a new Stadium, we would be...

    Fitzgibbon to review defence contracts

    The F-22 would be a great purchase, it really is the most advanced aircraft in the world (and the most expensive) - if only we could but it There are a few problems with getting the f-22. Firstly it is very very expensive so if we are going to get more than 2 I presume we will end up...

    AFP Sols

    Why are we there? Because they asked for our help, the country was in anarchy with basic mob rule, people being murdered in street's, because the UN is completely useless and in the end Australia was/is the only country that is in the best position to help. The only thing wrong with us...
