Some older Melbourne supporters.

It was an awesome final, Melbourne were so static at times, Moorabbin had plenty of flair and deserved it. The Colts game was fantastic too, the lead changing hands several times. Quote of the day: "We should bloody win this, we have the resources". Money != Premiership.

We'll have way too many locks: Pyle, Neville, Thomson, King.

We are in the final, tip off is 11:15pm tonight.

We all know how Box Hill likes to become a lake when it rains :(

Btw. Forgot to mention we beat Canada yesterday morning, 64-52, and Sweden this morning 60-47. Also, where's New Zealand in this competition?

The skeptical remark was about the ability to extract 6 clubs from each city. It could probably work in Sydney, but Brisbane? I think a city/region model is probably the best option. It's suppose to be the layer between clubs and Super Rugby, it would be the correct basis then. Eg. Sydney...

That's clarified several things. 6 fabricated "clubs" per conference in Brisbane/Sydney? I'm skeptical.

Opposed to the drunken/drugged orgy culture in League ;)

Obviously the League would rate higher, hence why they've delayed it. They sell this to potential advertisers on the grounds of, we'll have X thousand viewers watching the said League game, and this much potential to retain them post-game into the Rugby coverage.

Lloyd Johansson has reportedly been released.

I don't have any figures, however the general consensus down here is that the game is growing. A couple of examples: - Establishment of a premier 4 division -- A requirement for premier teams next season -- Unfortunately those unable to field 4 sides, will be relegated to Division 2 - My...

Considering it's been LIVE numerous times since they've got the rights, doubt it. It's purely because Nine want to retain viewers after the League.

Different 'kettle of fish'. The Foxtel Cup, if anything, is more on par. The question has always been, should the said competition be inter-union or should there be representative/franchise based teams, similar to the ITM Cup/NPC. I guess the real question is: What should be the purpose of...

Pretty poor then IMO, citing the ITM cup and such if you're only going to have a competition focused in one city.

No indication as to whether this is a national comp or not, it should be. Interesting to see Ch 10 involved, could this be a catalyst for Ten to eventually get the test rights?

Conroy can provide exceptions to the laws at his discretion. As has been the case for the NRL, RWC and June tests.

Btw. delayed across the country this Saturday night at 9:45pm (east states), so they can retain viewers after the League finals. F**king shame Channel 9 you scumbags.

Every code has experienced a down turn of some kind. Unfortunately this is our period. You learn from your mistakes and come out better for it. For those of us with a highly vested interest in the game, sure it's extremely painful at times. That's why we do, what we do. When we do return...
