Marlins in the market for a coach

Got to say, I do it tough there, I sit right next to their vip/hospitality section. They get good stuff delivered regularly, and I suffer badly from food envy. There’s a 2 guys in their jackets that yell out ridiculous things all day, it’s only worth noting as they are only two of them. To be...

Look again,takes that long to get to the CBD

I don’t believe google maps! I know from rat park, I can jump on b1 for an easy/quick trip to neutral bay and a short walk to NSO. An Uber on the way home is painless and reasonable cost. A bus/train to Parra and an Uber home, is not even on the radar.

Round 9 was their last game. They also forfeited 3rd grade v rats late in the season.

By all means have a moan that not nearly enough resources are employed out there, but complaining that they’re not getting their fair share of television time ignores reality. They won one game in first grade all year in a huge upset. They couldn’t field 4 grades for most of the year. Putting...

Congrats to both award winners Hamish Angus & Mark Gerard. Any crowd predictions for Saturday? I’m tipping a gate of 7k and a Uni, Rats GF.

Unacceptable. Clean the joint out!

Woods scrumming their way to victory

Yep, if Norths scrape through,they’ll just turn a 4 game losing streak to a 5 game streak. They are done for the year IMO

Manly have been consistent all year. Consistently inconsistent.

Leather balls in ‘91?

True, but that can be a penny wise/pound foolish philosophy. Clubs couldn’t pay more than a couple of grand for the privilege to host a semi. But, for example, Rats would easily draw an extra 1,000 (people,not dollars) at home than they would at North Sydney.

Yep, that’s just down to the agreement they have with the council. Rats had a similiar deal for some time. Council got the gate, the canteen, even the car park. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case.

In days gone by, clubs had to bid to host semis. They changed it to highest ranked to host, which IMO probably maximised the gate. This latest change slipped under the radar,and it seems there to be no rationale to justify why they’ve changed it. Happy to be corrected/educated on the background.

Seems it’s not just the video quality that has improved dramatically these days. Check out the body shapes, they’d all get monstered in the 3’s today! You also forget how technology with the balls has improved the game.

Wrong question Dave. How the fuck were they within reach at that stage of the game? Marlins better hope that Easts win next week. Marlins only hope of getting through week 1 of finals, is if they draw the Rats, and hope emotion can get them through. Cos form won’t.

What a waste of resources.....

I normally try and see as much of 3’s as I can, so I checked match schedules for tomorrow and see Parra are only fielding 2 grade sides tomorrow. Had a quick look and saw 4’s lasted 12 odd rounds, and 3’s couldn’t field a side for the first time this week. #sad On a positive note,3 colts side...

You missed the whole “pissing it up against the wall” saga? They’ve actually done the opposite of your suggestion, and removed subsidies and introduced levies.......
