Quite a few articles and comments in the media about how ridiculous this outcome is.
It's a terrible look for the NRL. They won't do anything about it, but it really is a joke.

Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews
I tell ya who should be taking a home game to Brisbane.. The Broncos. Not once yet. It's an absolute rort. It's stuff like this which reinforce how much the NRL take the piss with a couple of clubs. They don't even attempt to hide it any more. Meanwhile, other clubs take home games away to regional...

Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews
Surely Cotric keeps his spot.
Would be close to our best backline this season, short of Fogs.
I'd like to see Stewart get another game or two at some stage though.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
FWIW I reckon the Raiders have been one of the most astute clubs when it comes to recruiting. The only 'big name' we've ever recruited was Meninga 40 years ago, yet we've made the finals more often than not over the course of our history. People have to start getting over comparing us to the Rooster...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium
Interestingly ACT population projections indicate we could reach 800,000 people in the territory (not to mention surrounding regions) by 2060. That's near the population of San Francisco. So this stadium could be servicing a region of 1 million people by the time it hits 35 years old. San Fran's NFL...

The performance of referees are not immune from criticism, but they should most certainly be protected from dissent on the field. The big issue I have is consistency. When do players get binned?
