Not to mention he’s going to be NSW and Kangaroos captain in the next 2-3 years and the face of the game.

Interesting:
He made 55 tackles in Souths’ round one win over Cronulla. Inside centres in Super Rugby Pacific averaged 10.6 tackle completes per game after two rounds.
Most of League tackles are red cards in rugby with the modern interpretations of laws

There were 700 tackles made in that Souths Cronulla game - a typical rugby game is half of that. Combined with the fact that league is running wider channels, has two fewer players, and has more multi-man tackles, it's no surprise that backs are making more tackles.

That's right. I knew those statistic and TBH, League tackles are harder than Union. Not cause they are stronger is just pure physics, most of the time are 10 meters between the tackler and the ball-carrier in League meanwhile in Union the defence is almost in your face

Roosters have declared a profit of 13.2m on a revenue of 80m for 2022.
Gaming 29m
Distribution 15m
Sponsorship 11m
Members/Matchday 4.8m
Fuck that's sad. Roosters, who I presume would draw in more money from members/tickets than any super team has a gaming income 6 times that.

That isn’t much less than what RA generate in terms of revenue and they fund 5 teams, womens and 7s program from it.

The Roosters have no fans so of course they get more from gaming.

That's about a third of what Penrith generate

It's the fucking grin as they say, "Gamble Responsibly", that gets me.
The amount of U18s that are gambling online is incredible and very sad.

Approaching the mythical $1b in revenue too - madness

Are poker machines and bistros in discussion for Ballymore. On that, every other state headquarters? That’s the difference. Give the people somewhere to go and spend their money and they become the fans.

Why? Surely we want people to come to Rugby to watch the Rugby - not play the pokies.
That's a difference I'm willing to accept even if it does mean less revenue. If our overall revenue is less than NRL, but gate takings/memberships is up on the NRL I'd be happy.

Granted, a bistro/dining venue at Ballymore has legs. Close proximity to lots of residents and businesses, space for expansion and parking, could help drive local engagement with the venue (and get residents onside) - in a similar vein to Pitch & Fork at Wests, which does a roaring trade.
Don't want to see a gaming lounge.

Yeah, if some sort of bistro helps at that end then absolutely. I hate the idea of pokies at Ballymore and I'd expect the local backlash to that would be massive.
