Lucky you clarified that.
For what it's worth, I did the survey. It doesn't ask for personal information other than age bracket, cultural identity and postcode. It took less than 10 minutes - was good to hopefully help balance out an obviously biased perspective.

Yeah, so much of the sustainable growth in footy comes from families going to the footy together and then continuing that tradition with the next generation. Family friendly time slots (I'd include the old 7.10pm start on a Sat night) might not be the greatest revenue generating games but it's...
I have been thinking through the Daniher Dilemma a fair bit. I really think that the answer is from within and I think it comes down to a very slight game plan adjustment.
Pre-Joe, we played really good footy with two tall forwards and two rucks. Stef Martin was the dominant ruck and Oscar...
I'm not prepared to make definitive judgment on just one game but, on paper, I thought our side looked slightly out of whack with no true winger and it wasn't until we made the change with Berry heading to a wing more and then introduced Fletcher that our game looked more solid.
I think we...
I thought Rayner played his role quite well. Good forward pressure (21 pressure acts, same as Lohmann), hit the scoreboard, linked up play nicely and got his hands on the footy on the occasions he went into the midfield. I think if you judge him on his role, he more than did his job.
There are lots of different body shapes among First Nations players in the NRL over the years. Tall and stocky builds like Artie Beetson or Sam Thaiday, tall and athletic builds like Greg Inglis, short and stocky like Adam Reynolds, shorter and slim like Jonathan Thurston.
Our game favours...
I doubt we'll ever truly know what a player is actually paid unless the system changes and there is mandatory release of that info. Player managers have a vested interest in inflating the figure (makes them look good to current and prospective clients). Clubs have a vested interest in deflating...
Coaches like unlimited interchange because they like control and predictability. They don't have to worry about "what if" as much. What if a player gets injured? What if I need to change a match up? What if someone is unexpectedly fatigued? What if my players are too tired to flood back in...
He's a gun and I suspect we'd bite the Dogs hand off if they offered him in a trade. Dunno if we could afford him though, either in a trade or contract value sense.
That's my read. I think it's reasonable to ask the RNA to stump up some funds (either directly or via grants) as they'll get the venue permanently but the sports? I mean, it's hardly a minor fitout for the tenants' purposes.
Shitty politics.
Hey everyone, is it possible to get from the upper tiers to the ground level to see the players post match? I'm in the second tier but my son wants to be on the fence if he can when the players do their lap of honour. Just want to know whether it's fairly simple to get there.
I'm pretty sure their flight is VA9004 if anyone is interested, or a plane nuffy like me. They have finally taken off.
That's it. It was about 6 planes ahead of mine waiting to take off.
