This is probably for another thread but I’m pretty sure the sporting codes have no juristriction over gambling companies setting lines on their events. the idea of “gambling dollars” just means more interest in the sport equates to better chance of increased tv deal (which Vlandys might be...

Guess we all have a difference of opinion going forward for super rugby. Super rugby au was the lamest thing I’ve ever watched on tv. 5 team comp with a 3 team playoffs If super rugby dies then all our good players go offshore and there won’t be professional rugby left in this country. yes we...

disagree - the game won’t survive without the kiwis! if you remove the trans Tasman rivalries your left with either a club rugby on steroids/5 team super rugby AU (lame) or rebirthed NRC. none of those business models are better than super rugby in its current format. Just need to improve on...

well I never looked at the FORCE when they went belly up 1st time as a failed experiment. Sometimes it’s other factors at play. think the point with super rugby is some of these teams are dependent on divisions and other sporting teams in a regional area to justify th travelling/scheduling…...

If anyone is interested that it’s not all peaches and cream over in rugby league. There was article in AFR this week about PVD leadership team quitting in droves. https://www.afr.com/rear-window/nrl-shuffles-the-deck-on-the-eve-of-vegas-20240207-p5f32j

Yeah I know that. but I understand why he’s doing it. It’s not about growing revenue. It’s about hedging the revenue opportunity if the gambling interests here in this country suddenly dry up. Anyways back to rebels talk .

gambling is on the nose in this country. I wouldn’t be suprised after next federal election if there’s a huge crackdown on pokies and sports gambling. It’s the one thing I am super proud about rugby union is that we don’t rip off our fanbase by having large pokie rooms in our clubhouse. AFL &...

Some home games. the Sunwolves I wouldn’t call a failed experiment. Crowd support was way better than any of the Aussie teams - might have my timelines mixed up but they bowed out just before Covid? (after super rugby had to do some realignment because the South Africans were joining a...

they are all cleared by my accounts now. The visit to the consulate could have been kept under wraps but they’ll bring up their players checkered past for any NRL Vegas free publicity.

yes well aware of that. PVD is biting off more than he can chew. Everyone knows he is a degenerate gambler. This is a risk no one in super rugby would make.

The Vegas venture is heading for a slow moving train wreck for the NRL. Stadium ticket sales currently at about 50%. it’s a 5 year deal to. What if first year is a fizzer and they don’t make any significant in roads? Each team is forking out about 400k to use travel/training facility week...

Ok moot point. if he’s not under contract… god speed

he was found innocent. when it comes to blokes and sexual allegations it’s always “guilty until your found innocent but names been dragged thru the mud so might as well keep calling them guilty”

Was it a 1 year deal? (Probably knowing World Cup cycle) if he’s under contract - just waste of money telling him to sit at home.

I don’t understand why he wouldn’t be allowed to return? he is innocent. Spent the last year not being able to showcase his skills. False sexual allegations (or unproven) seem to ruin a lot of innocent blokes reputations.

I take some responsibility. as a LNP shill. Back to regular broadcast

it’s the cost of the original network why it had to be scaled back. It was unfeasible (another labor blowout project) You will still be able to get FTTP (albeit years later) but pushing the installation cost back onto the consumer (who wanted that technology) was the best business model. HFC...

That’s fine guys. comparing speeds to other countries is kind of moot when you consider how huge this country is and how little populated it is. The original NBN was due for massive blowouts and a lot of the country still doesn’t have FTTP. typical labor with big ideas and no way to pay for...

Nah the NBN was a crock of shit that labor pushed.. I love fibre optic but labor should have had more foresight about emerging technologies. 2007 was when NBN was announced? Same year as iPhone release… I “Joe Average” could of predicted that wireless technologies would be the future. Tony and...

Super excited to see TOOM Lygnah in jersey 22 I read that in a Bruce buffer “in the red corner” voice
