Mobile data performance at Canberra Stadium - Telstra/Optus/Vodafone?

I'm currently with a Telstra reseller (Boost) for my mobile, and some time ago the performance in congested areas has become really terrible. At halftime at a Raiders game I've got no chance of working Internet. Looking to change, seeking experiences from fellow Canberra Stadium goers. Boost used to...

Re: Why a $28.5 million deal for Sydney AFL team is Canberra's point of contention

The deals for all include both men’s and women’s matches. The Raiders are getting the equivalent of $13 million over five years (as I recall, it is comprised in terms of different elements, including tax exemptions, hiring deal and performance payments). 12 men’s home games (with one allowed to be ...

Re: Canberra Raiders 2023 home/away jerseys and merchandise

Good member's pack this year, I think.

Everything in it - sans the afterthoughts like stickers - is something I'd want to use at the game or otherwise. Hat, scarf and mug. Excellent. I like the soft bluey-grey material used on much of the hat, too.

Re: Ricky Stuart banned for seven days and fined $25,000 for press conference comments

Personally, I didn't really care one iota about what Ricky said. I'm more incredulous that everyone else seems to care so much, to the point the NRL felt compelled to step in. If I was in the player's shoes I'd probably either return serve, or take the high ground and publicly frame Ricky as an unpr...

Be prepared for QLD to be an incredible outlier on election night.
