I get so depressed when I see Duke nailed on to start for our national team.

I’d love to know what our plan is for next season without Salah, VVD and TAA.

$46-80 to referee PYL (half to be assistant). Perhaps somebody could offer more insight, but I’d almost imagine they would split the 5 games into 2 groups rotate so most refs get 1 x centre, 2 x AR. ...

Obviously anecdotal evidence here, but that’s a poor attitude imo. Coaches/parents should be helping develop a better outlook for these kids. Nobody likes losing - but it’s how you build to the game....

Referee is a thankless task.

But our sport is atrociously disrespectful to them, all the way from EPL, to A League, to locally. The games we watch on TV and see 10 players crowding the ref makes...

Meanwhile, I’ve just seen NRL have purchased some hotels as a means to help generate income and act as assets to secure their financial future. Now apparently worth $110M. Goal is to have $300M in...

I wasn’t sure, but I was going off this article.


...

The $10K?

Worst case you draw Perth NPL winners in your group and have $500 pp flight for 20 players/essentials. There?s your $10K.


Best case you snag 2x Sydney teams and Melbourne (200pp...

Thanks, that was my interpretation also.

One of the articles seemed to list the teams as 8 foundational clubs and 8 invitational. Had a little bit of doubt that it could vary each year.

...

So, does the winner of this now qualify for the prestigious NST?

Is there some additional criteria?

Jardel makes some good points.

When I think about it, it gives me images of a grand final day with all the players and staff and supporters there, maybe set up for the day. Maybe not.
I agree...

Get DJ Stu and Ljubo on the decks and we can rave in bay 2 before every corner or stoppage in play.

Hopefully got some tips watching Macarthur romp Perth at the ground.

I was browsing reddit the other day and came across somebody from Sydney posting.

Their daughter was 17, had aspirations of playing ALW.

They had an agent approach them and asked for $10K to...

See, you’d think this. Doesn’t seem to happen though.

Every year the same clubs get mentioned for axing players, stealing other clubs player, replacing entire teams and dropping kids the moment a...

Why does Newcastle football back this?

Is there a trade off for them? Development for x amount of other fields?

Stipulations on first grade is ridiculous.

All clubs should be aiming to put out their best teams regardless of age. Playing first grade should be because you’re one of the best 11 players in...

Hopefully we just wear our main kit until it clashes, then when it clashes away team changes.

They used to do some WSW functions I recall.

I’m sure they’d be open to the idea. Extra $$$ kept in the code.

It’s obviously not okay or ideal for a referee to be out of their depth and allowing dangerous tackles as you suggest.

But, what’s the alternative? No refs? Club officials referee?

I guess,...

You know, it wouldn?t hurt to have some rivalry in the local game.

It?s pretty sterile now.

Olympic vs Magic was the biggest day of the year.

You longed to play Magic or Olympic at their...

Expansion is great. The more kids that can access facilities and coaching, the better chance more kids fulfil their potential.

The problem for me is competition identity.

What is PYL? Is it a...

How’d the results turn out for the last survey?

Yeh. It’s tricky.

If the assistant hears something and flags it as dissent/abuse. You have to trust that statement of events. There’s not really any reason to blatantly make something up. Fed...

The basket case of West Tigers NRL club over the last decade or so, leaves me a little nervous.

Could be great for us, as they are both very experienced operators. NRL for all their downfalls,...
