we can only hope... brings alot of energy to the view crowd and has a great impact on the overall atmosphere of games.Riverview is getting a new principle next year. Could we see the return of the great Iggy?
Both player you reckon.definitely dragged out, both players acted in an unsportsmanlike fashion but that appears at all levels of the game.

if benji nobel infact was making remarks about pat youngs mother i would call that unsportsmanlike i do agree however that pat young was more at fault, overall bad look for the GPSBoth player you reckon.
Coming over from Aloys so part of me thinks he'll just tow the line sadly.Riverview is getting a new principal next year. Could we see the return of the great Iggy?
I’m quite sure the new principal has already been bombarded with feedback when it comes to the state of the grandstands and fields at View.Coming over from Aloys so part of me thinks he'll just tow the line sadly.
Simple thing but gee he'd win some fans if he let the boys play.

My opinion* on it is you would cherish a packed home ground longer than a suburban field that can have a NSW Club Soccer game on it the next day. Many of these guys will go on to play on grounds of note even if they only play Club Rugby.I’m quite sure the new principal has already been bombarded with feedback when it comes to the state of the grandstands and fields at View.
Interested to know, though, whether this cohort playing in 2024 has grown to like the Leichhardt game.
Been a few years now and it’s a big spectacle.
Home ground advantage is one thing but also think there could be aspiration to play that Leichhardt game.
I hope they take the chance to develop something that will benefit all for the next 25+ years. They have the space, resources and demand.
Absolutely agree on all counts.My opinion* on it is you would cherish a packed home ground longer than a suburban field that can have a NSW Club Soccer game on it the next day. Many of these guys will go on to play on grounds of note even if they only play Club Rugby.
It got buzz the first time and benefited from both sides being good in the following but it could easily die off once people have being there done that. At the end of the day it only got forced on them because they have allowed the grounds to become completely susceptible to weather. They like to spin it as a crowd control issue which is also their fault in regards to perimeter fencing. Home ground is something to be proud of. White Oval is a brutal place to play, Waverley feels like your'e being dragged into a dog fight and Joeys make you face their crowd just entering the field. That's all sanitised when you take it to Leichardt in regard to a home field advantage.
I hope they take the chance to develop something that will benefit all for the next 25+ years. They have the space, resources and demand. Lets hope the initial plans are followed through on
Bring back IggyNothing better or more tribal than defending your home patch
