NRL NRL 2023 - Round 17

[Exe Gesis]

Like most West Aussie's wanting a league team, I knew relocating a previous team was the most likely way to come into the comp. Always thought it'd be the Bears though.

It makes some sense, giving the Perth team another source for juniors, development pathways, and sponsorahip/marketing opportunities in Sydney too.

Are the NRL really aiming for a 20 team set-up? I mean, it's great in way, but isn't that a lot more games per season?

Like a lot of Europeans, I struggle to get my head around just how big Australia is. From Sydney to Perth is over twice as far as London to Moscow!

I seem to always get him in our games and I can't stand it, in fact, I wish I had the Kiwi option at least for home games.

He's not great, but he's brilliant compared to the idiots we get! As I've said before, you guys don't know how lucky you are.

I was at the SFS last night to watch the Raiders hold on. It more than made up for being next door on Saturday night for the Eagles!

Whatever they spent on that stadium, it was too much. They replaced a cold, soulless shithole with... a cold, soulless shithole.
